Geoclue 2.1.10

["Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)" <zeeshanak gnome org>]

Hi,

Here is the another release of the re-write of geoclue. Changes since 2.1.9:

- Disallow application if disabled explicitly in the configuration.
- Make it easy to add alternative modem source(s), e.g ofono-based.
- Map:
  - country-level accuracy to city-level since no source provides country-level
    accuracy.
  - neighborhood-level accuracy to city-level in WiFi source (only) so
    applications requesting neighborhood-level accuracy still get a location
    even if there is no modem available.
- Fixes to WiFi source.
- For easier debugging, add:
  - more debug prints.
  - commandline options to where-am-i demo application to specify timeout and
    requested accuracy level.
- Fix a potential build failure.
---------------------------------------

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.
