Results

    • Note: Please be aware that the project will have frequent updates to the main branch. There are no compatibility guarantees associated with code in any branch, including main, until a new release is created. For example, changes may be reverted before a release is created. For best results, use the latest available release.

    • The latest available release for the DeviceLocation API family is 0.2.0. There are bug fixes to be expected and incompatible changes in upcoming releases. It is suitable for implementors, but it is not recommended to use the API with customers in productive environments.

    • Release 0.2.0 of the API family is available within the release-v0.2.0 branch. The API family now includes 3 APIs, in different state of progress:

    • The previous release version v0.1.0 of DeviceLocation API is available within the release-0.1.0 branch

      • This past release only included the first alpha version of the API now renamed to location-verification, but it was then named as “location v0.1.0”
