v131 - Migrating to WorkManager, OSM prompt option, file upload broadcast, notification for errors, SPD_KPH param
Oops, this got released as "131-rc2" in the version name. It's meant to be 131.
Housekeeping and Maintenance
The JobQueue library is quite good, but the library is abandoned, and the same developer has done some work on Android WorkManager.
Switching to WorkManager.
One limitation, you can't pass information in the constructor to the worker (like you did with the JobQueue), instead it has to be passed via a Data, and maximum data size is 10kb.
That size limit means instead of passing an array of locations, I have to pass the file name and get the worker to read from the file and build the locations itself.
I've also updated the build dependencies, some libraries too, seen in build.gradle and AndroidManifest.xml.
Issues
#1129 Clarifying that the auto send also sends when the file name changes.
#1131 OpenStreetMap option to prompt for details when logging starts.
#1083 Send a broadcast when a file is uploaded. This should allow users to delete the file if they'd like.
#1139 A new %SPD_KPH custom URL parameter to help with logging to OwnTracks.
#1138 #1053 Show an error notification when permissions have been revoked but the user is trying to run the app.

v130 - choose point with best accuracy, faster custom url autosend
First release made using Github Actions. This should be convenient going forward.
Issue #1059 #892 — I've changed the logic so that if passive location is enabled, then the passive location received needs to match the selected user type (satellite or network). But if neither satellite nor network are selected, then any passive type will be accepted.
Issue #1103 — If stoponapplaunch=true is in a .properties file it should stop on app launch. There's no UI preference added for this preference since it's not something a user would interact with.
Issue #654 #591 #453 — Instead of matching the first accurate point and logging it (default behavior), a new option added: when enabled, the app runs for the duration of retry interval, and chooses the most accurate point.
Issue #1073 — Group Custom URLs together when sending from a CSV, instead of one background job per line in the CSV. This should result in faster uploads and HTTP connection reuse. Same optimization goes for OpenGTS.
Issue #1112 — workaround, reduce a monochrome icon size so that the installer doesn't fail. Incorrectly marked resolved on Android issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/303849830
