- A query option for Micropub was added in a prior version and adjusted in this one. This is currently only supported in the Indigenous for Android app. It allows the Android app to query the plugin for the name of the current location, to display and edit in the app.
- Wikimedia Maps was added as a map provider, which is displayable without an API key
- There’s a new setting that only shows altitude above a configurable height.
The biggest feature is Zones. Zones is a geofencing feature. If your location is inside the zone, it will not display the exact location, only a textual description.
Zones consist of a name, a location, and a radius around that location. If you are posting in the UI, it will replace the actual location name with that of the zone, and set the visibility to protected to add the actual coordinates.
If you are posted via Micropub, it will set the same, unless the location visibility property exists, and then it will follow that. Currently, this property is only supported by Indigenous for Android.
So, what does this mean? It means I am safe to post to my site and know that if I’m in one of these locations, it will obscure it unless I say otherwise. This is the first step to more granular visibility of location allowing me to store it in all posts, knowing that it won’t be shared specifically in areas I don’t want it to be shown in.
