[rinigus]

• Add support for HERE through dedicated profile
  Add support for HERE search and routing. HERE routing brings support for routing that is aware of current traffic. For compliance with HERE use conditions, HERE support is added using separate HERE - online profile.

• Add support for MapTiler
  Add support for MapTiler.com map provider and make it default. MapTiler is also made default font provider for online profile.

• Add and fix Geoclue2 plugin [fix by tpikonen]
  As Geoclue2 Qt plugin had bugs, bundle Geoclue2 plugin with Pure Maps and apply fixes by tpikonen. Later, when fixes will propagate from Qt to Linux distributions, this bundled plugin can be removed.

• Set center of the map as a reference point for geocoders
  Use center of the map as a reference point for search engines. This replaces current location as a reference. With the new reference, you can choose area of interest and it will be used while performing the search by search engines that use geo coordinates when performing search.

• Add support for licenses
  As some providers require users to accept end-user license agreements, add support for showing licenses. Licenses can be accepted or declined.

• Disable plugins with missing API keys or licenses
  As some API keys could be not available or user may have declined end-user license agreement, disable plugins accordingly.

• Indicate when routing has failed

• Fix direction calculations used by positioning source

• Allow to use system-wide Geomag [tpikonen]

• Update Ubuntu Touch packaging [jonnius]

• Allow to specify accuracy of positioning

• Update translations

• Bugfixes

• Try to activate map matching if requested
  Packagers don't need to specify anymore whether map matching is supported or not. Pure Maps will try to activate DBus if user requested map matching and the activation will just fail if OSM Scout Server is not installed or is not configured for DBus activation.

• Revise API keys handling
  API keys are now provided by packagers using different format.
