New release is out: 1.15.0

This release brings a map view that can either show all defined buttons/widgets (full view) or a selected set of them (minimal view). To switch between the modes, just click on a map avoiding bookmarked places and current location.

Buttons and indicators shown in the minimal view mode can be selected in Preferences/Map View. You could also specify whether you want application to go to the minimal view mode automatically and/or use that on startup.

There are direct Search and Navigate buttons on the map view. The icons for the both buttons are considered as not final, replacement is expected in the future. So, as a result, you get now the same amount of clicks as in Google Maps/HERE to start searching, for example.

All action buttons on the map view are now positioned at the button. This should simplify its use on mobile.

Position icon has been replaced with a high contrast version, thank you Mosen!

Translations have been updated, thank you translators!

I have spent a large time on this update cycle on porting the application to Kirigami. This is going to bring full mobile support for other mobile Linux'es as well as convergence support. The latter one turned out to be tricky, had to rewrite few parts which were assuming that only one page is shown in a time. Also, there were few assumptions that I made regarding Kirigami API and had to figure mistakes out/fix them for that port. Finally, Kirigami had/has few bugs that were uncovered while working on it. Fortunately, some of them are fixed already and Pure Maps requirements are taken into account by Kirigami developers during their ongoing rewrite of the main component. Hopefully, Kirigami will be the platform for the next release on Flathub.

Edit: New Mapbox key was generated for general usage. Let's see if the main users have made sufficient amount of keys to keep overall usage within the limits
