<div dir="ltr">Hi, Here is another release of Geoclue. Changes since 2.4.8: - Modem GPS refresh rate is now based on the location refresh rate of apps. - Refuse location access if no app-auth agent is registered. This fixes a security hole where an app requests location access before the agent gets to register itself and we end up giving out locaiton access even though user has disabled it. - Port desktop ID detection to Flatpak >= 0.6.10. - The default timeout on the service binary is now the same as the service itself: 5 seconds. - Demo applications: - where-am-i now allows setting location refresh-rate. - Only install demo agent's desktop file if it's enabled. - Build and install demo agent unless disabled explicitly. - Autostart the demo agent by default on non-GNOME platforms, since an agent is required now and no one other than GNOME yet provides one (sigh).

The primary goal of the Geoclue project is to make creating location-aware applications as simple as possible, while the secondary goal is to ensure that no application can access location information without explicit permission from user. Geoclue is Free Software, licensed under GNU GPLv2+. It is developed for Linux. The aim of project is to utilize all possible sources of geolocation to best find user's location: * WiFi-based geolocation (accuracy: in meters) * GPS(A) receivers (accuracy: in centimeters) * GPS of other devices on the local network, e.g smartphones (accuracy: in centimeters) * 3G modems (accuracy: in kilometers, unless modem has GPS) * GeoIP (accuracy: city-level) Geoclue used to also do (reverse-)geocoding but that functionality has been dropped in favor of geocode-glib library.
