Heya, This is the first release of geocode-glib, a small library on top of the Yahoo! Place Finder API.
This first release allows you to do geocoding (going from a place name, to a longitude/latitude pair) and reverse geocoding (finding a place name from coordinates). It also implements caching (so that starting up Empathy doesn't flood the service), and helper functions to use Telepathy location properties to do geocoding. There's everything you'd expect from a glib-based library, GObject introspection for Python, Vala or Javascript, API documentation, and a test suite. The dependencies are gvfs, libsoup, and json-glib, though the gvfs dependencies might be removed in the future. This library should be used in place of Geoclue's D-Bus API for geocoding and reverse geocoding. Finally, the responses to requests also include information about the timezone and the closest airport to the location, which could be of some use to libgweather and date & time settings. Code is at: http://git.gnome.org/browse/geocode-glib And tarballs at: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/geocode-glib/0.99/ Cheers _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
