2.8.0

New features:

  • Add URL and API key for the Positon location service to default config comments
  • Include the SSID in queries to the Ichnaea server to support BeaconDB
  • Set User-Agent in web source queries and add OS info to it
  • Allow disabling WiFi source and static source during compilation
  • Show default Wifi URLs set on compile time in default config comments
  • Add BeaconDB URLs to to default config comments
  • Add a separate GeoIP location source:
    • Add an 'ip' config section with selectable backend methods: ichnaea, gmaps and reallyfreegeoip
    • Allow overriding URL and accuracy in ip methods with values from config
    • Use BeaconDB as the backup GeoIP URL, if URLs are not defined in ip or web source configs
    • Remove the GeoIP functionality from the web source, it now only handles queries with Wifi and 3G data
  • Install sysusers.d file for the geoclue user
  • Use BeaconDB as the compiled-in default server for locate and submit queries in the web source

Fixes:

  • Forward xdp location start errors in the GClueSimple API
  • Stricter NMEA coordinate parsing: Ignore NMEA coordinates without degree digits, reject coordinates with incorrect range etc.
  • where-am-i: Output accuracy without unnecessary decimals
  • Don't crash when running without enabled location sources but warn that location is not available
  • Fix crash on removing a modem without location capabilities
  • Make SOUP_STATUS_OK as the only successful response code from Ichnaea servers
  • Gracefully handle empty response from Ichnaea server
  • Add more details for network-nmea in the manpage
