::1(IPv6 localhost) to the list of allowed OAuth2 HTTP redirects. (@amapanda_ᚐᚋᚐᚅᚇᚐ) - And fixed a bad link to the FAQ in the documentation. (@lonvia)
Upcoming focus: changes to GPS trace uploads
We have a new section in this recap! The aim is to keep you up to date not only with recent changes, but also with important changes to come.
The focus this month is on a project to improve how we store and render GPS traces. This is led by @Rub21, who among other things is currently discussing the simplification (perhaps elimination?) of the four different “visibility levels” that uploaded traces can have. Not only they make things complex for our systems, but also they are misleading to users. Did you know a “private” trace still publishes location data for other mappers to trace from? We want to fix this.
