Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-maps at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-maps
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock gnome-maps, GNOME's OpenStreetMap client.

As with other recent unblock requests I would like this to be considered 
for Debian 13.0 if possible, but if we're too late for that, it can be 
deferred to 13.1 by converting this request into a trixie-pu request.

[ Reason ]

New upstream bugfix release.

[ Impact ]

Several bug fixes; the most serious is that public transport routing has 
regressed due to third-party server changes, except perhaps in regions 
like Switzerland that have their own more specific transit routing 
plugin and therefore don't need to fall back to the default 
transitous.org.

[ Tests ]

Brief manual testing, everything seems to be as it should be. In 
particular I successfully requested a public transport route from 
Cambridge, UK to London, UK, and results provided by Transitous looked 
reasonable.

An earlier version 48.4 (identical except for the transitous.org API URL 
fix) was in experimental for several weeks and then in unstable for a 
couple of days without incident.

[ Risks ]

Technically a key package in our default desktop environment, but it's 
essentially a leaf package, which we're including as a nice-to-have 
because upstream have it in their official module set. As an alternative 
distribution channel, up-to-date versions are available in Flatpak 
format from Flathub.

The changes are all targeted fixes.

[ Checklist ]

  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
      (filtered to exclude upstream translation updates)
