2.5.1

Fix libgeoclue ABI break in 2.5.0.
Use absolute paths for libexecdir.

2.5.2

2.5.2
=====

- Scan for WiFi networks, greatly improving accuracy of WiFi source.
- Allow multiple clients on the same D-Bus connection and add API for it. This
  is mainly targetted for Flatpak location portal.
- Add API for apps to explicitly delete their client objects. Long running
  apps, like gnome-settings-daemon and Flatpak location portal, should use that
  to ensure Geoclue knows when these apps are not actually using it and hence
  it doesn't need to keep running needlessly.
- Restore accidently removed, build of modem sources.
- Update location on connectivity actually changing.
- Try not spamming Mozilla Location Service.
- Fix unexpected exit when non-active clients are connected.
- Fix a check for system apps.
- Use absolute paths for sysconfdir.
- Fix links in docs.
- More debug log.
- A bunch of internal and/or non-functional fixes & improvements.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require glib >= 2.44.
