+ Plug a leak.
- Changes from version 2.5.5:
+ Plug another leak.
+ Fix another buffer overflow.
+ Fix WiFi-geolocation that got broken in 2.5.4.
+ Put freequently used small strings on the stack to avoid
excessive memory usage.
* Tue Dec 10 2019 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 2.5.4:

source.

for it. This is mainly targetted for Flatpak location portal.
+ Add API for apps to explicitly delete their client objects.

location portal, should use that to ensure Geoclue knows when
these apps are not actually using it and hence it doesn't need

running already, instead of giving up. This solves a
race-condition, which makes geoclue completely unusable.
+ Provide Vala bindings for libgeoclue.
+ Add gclue_client_get/set_time_threshold() to docs.
- Drop geoclue2-Fix-safety-header-name.patch and
geoclue2-Fix-potentially-unused-variable.patch: Fixed upstream.

- Update to version 2.4.10:
+ Fix issues introduced by last release 2.4.9:
- A crash on startup.
- Revert the new desktop ID detection code as that turned out
to not work for non-root user that geoclue is supposed to be
run as.
+ Use systemd's service file to lockdown the geoclue daemon to
stop eventual security problems.
* Wed May 02 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 2.4.9:
+ 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 location 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.
- Add pkgconfig(libnotify) BuildRequires: New dependency.
* Thu Apr 12 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 2.4.8:
+ Fix threshold for detecting too old location update.
+ Explain in the configuration what the applications white-list
is meant for.

- Modernize spec-file by calling spec-cleaner
* Mon May 29 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.4.7:
+ Fix a potential crash.
+ More verbose warning on invalid accuracy from NMEA source.
* Fri Apr 07 2017 jengelh@inai.de
- Drop practically empty %pre section (because of the shell comment,
it was non empty and would needlessy spawn /bin/sh).
- RPM group corrections.
* Tue Mar 28 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.4.6:
+ Add to white-list:
- gnome-color-panel for "Night Light" functionality.
- gnome-shell for new weather view in the calendar.
+ Other minor fixes.
- Drop geoclue2-permit-Night-Light.patch: Fixed upstream.
- Drop geoclue2-permit-gnome-maps.patch: No longer needed due to
changes in location settings in gnome.
* Wed Mar 15 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Split out new package system-user-srvGeoClue: create a user that
can be required by different package (e.g. NetworkManager has a
rule based on the user account. With the user created separately,
NM can now require the user even without geoclue2 being
installed).
* Wed Mar 01 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Add geoclue2-permit-Night-Light.patch: Add "Night Light"
functionality to the whitelist (bgo#779343, fdo#100008).
* Thu Feb 02 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Drop convenience shortcut for rcgeoclue, as this is a dbus
activated service, there is no point in that shortcut, no human
should ever manually call it. Following this, filter warning now
produced via rpmlintrc.
* Fri Jan 27 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.4.4:
+ Fix a potential crash.
* Wed Sep 07 2016 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.4.4:

+ Add a TimeThreshold property that allows clients to limit
location updates by time.
+ Annotate default value of DistanceThreshold property.
+ Check for full internet availability before declaring ourselves
online (boo#1051612, fdo#95493).
+ Fix autogen.sh against builddir ≠ srcdir.
+ Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
+ Fix a bunch of build issues.
+ Other minor fixes.
* Mon May 30 2016 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Add geoclue2-rpmlintrc to sources to filter out bogus rpmlint
warning about missing systemd-service and nonstandard user.
- Add missing post/postun handling of library.
- Remove useless desktop file for demos, we do not build the demos.
* Mon May 30 2016 fcrozat@suse.com
- Do not use systemd macros for geoclue2.service, they are not
designed for dbus systemd unit file [bsc#982216].
* Wed Apr 13 2016 idonmez@suse.com
- Update to GNOME 3.20 Fate#318572

+ Fix a crash in the helper library.
* Sat Feb 27 2016 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.4.2:
+ Reliable desktop ID detection for xdg-app. This together with
latest gnome-shell and gnome-control-center, allows for
per-application geolocation access controls.
+ Don't require xdg-app applications to pass a valid desktop ID
since Geoclue can automatically detect it.
+ Don't allow xdg-app application to become user-authorization
agents.
+ Correct introspection namespace version for libgeoclue.
+ Option to disable the backend build.
+ Demo: Provide reason to access location data.
+ Demo agent:
- Critical log message on failing to show notification.
- If app provides a reason string in it's desktop file, show
that to the user.
* Wed Dec 23 2015 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Enable GObject introspection (required by gnome-weather 3.19+):
+ Pass --enable-introspection to configure.
+ Add pkgconfig(gobject-introspection-1.0) BuildRequires.
+ Split typelib-1_0-Geoclue-2_0 subpackage.
* Tue Nov 24 2015 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.4.0:
+ Add a convenience library to make interacting with Geoclue very
easy.
+ Put each D-Bus interface description in it's own file. Unified
interface file still provided for backwards compatibility.
* Thu Nov 05 2015 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Correct geoclue2-permit-gnome-maps.patch to include system=false,
all services are supposed to have a system section. Fixes
(boo#953865).
* Mon Sep 28 2015 mpluskal@suse.com
- Update to 2.3.0
* Add a network NMEA source, which together with this application:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/GeoclueShare allows you to use the
GPS of your Android device on your geoclue-enabled machine.
* Allow root to own the name on the bus, i-e run the service.
* Make use of compass device if available, through iio-proxy.
* Fix a hang on client starting twice.
* More helpful error on agent rejection.
* Improved documentation.
* Do not ship generated D-Bus service files in the tarball.
* Only allow the geoclue user and root to call methods on agents.
* Fix ignoring of valid location updates due to comparison of
stances in different units.
* Correctly handle two consecutive location updates with same
mestamp on them.
* Correctly handle late location update.
* Build system fixes:
+ Fix detection of gdbus-codegen tool.
+ Workaround an intltool issue.
- Update dependencies
- Make build more verbose
* Sat Apr 11 2015 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.2.0:
+ Report 'Speed' and 'Heading' on location updates.
+ Try to provide the most accurate location first.
+ Avoid a crash by ensuring requested max accuracy is within
bounds.
+ Fix GPS coordinates parsing.
+ Fix GeoIP on machines without WiFi hardware.
+ Gracefully handle inexistent agent.
+ Stop sources whose accuracy level becomes higher, rather than
lower, than the requested level.
+ Keep old location object alive on D-Bus for a bit longer to
ensure applications are not accessing it still after it is
destroyed.
+ Don't enable the modem. Seems at least GNOME takes care of
modem enabling for us and besides this shouldn't be done by
geoclue anyway (fdo#85040).
+ Wait for modem to be enabled before checking availability of
location capabilities and using them. This is particularly
important for pin-enabled modems.
+ Ignore redundant GPS location updates.
+ Fix some potential crashes.
+ Some improvements to output of where-am-i demo application.
