news 28 Posted March 27, 2014 Hi, Here is the another release of the re-write of geoclue. Changes since 2.1.6: - 'InUse' property now only affected by active clients. This fixes the issue of gnome-shell incorrectly showing 'geolocation in use' icon. - Move DBus interface files to their canonical location: /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/. - Drop redundant check for the C++ compiler in configure script. - Demo agent now prints 'geolocation in use' info. All contributors to this release: Kalev Lember Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) --------------------------------------- Geoclue is a D-Bus service that provides location information. 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) * 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.
