+2.1.1
+=====
+
+- 3GPP-based geolocation source.
+ - Uses ModemManager to get cell tower info from 3GPP modem and uses
+ opencellid.org's public API to translate that into a location.
+- GPS modem-based geolocation source: If your 3GPP modem has a GPS, geoclue can
+ now make use of it.
+- WiFi-based geolocation source
+ - Uses Mozilla Location Service to find location based on nearby WiFi
+ networks.
+ - Refresh location on changes in WiFi networks.
+ - Option in configuration file to make geoclue use Google Maps Geolocation API
+ rather than Mozilla Location Service.
+ - Option in configuration file to enable submission of wifi data to Mozilla
+ Location Service. If this option is enabled, the data is submitted each time
+ geoclue gets a GPS lock. That means, its not completely autonomous and data
+ is only submitted if an application, e.g gnome-maps requests current
+ location with exact accuracy.
+- API for clients to specify what level of geolocation accuracy they need,
+ e.g city-level, street-level or exact etc.
+- API to check if geolocation service is in use. Next version of gnome-shell
+ will make use of that to show an icon in the panel to indicate to user that
+ their location is being accessed.
+- Application authorization agent
+ - Make agent completely optional. We will revert this once we have a reliable
+ mechanism to identify applications.
+ - Identify agent and client applications by their desktop IDs rather than
+ paths of their binaries.
+ - Ability for agents to dictate the accuracy level allowed for clients.
+ - Maintain a whitelist of clients in configuration that do not need agent
+ authorization.
+- Avoid redundant queries to web services.
+- Install demo applications and provide a desktop file for them.
+- Many more internal fixes and clean-ups.
+
+Dependency-related changes:
+
+- Require libnm-glib >= 0.9.9.0 (new dependency)
+- Require libmm-glib >= 1.0 (new dependency)
+- Require libxml-2.0 (new dependency)
+
+Note to package maintainers: This version drops the requirement for geoclue
+binary to be given 'ptrace' capability that was introduced in last release,
+2.1.0.
