Highlights include:

- you can now update people’s location automatically upon login (not just when they post) (@祁同伟)
  - controlled by new setting **DEFAULT OFF - so if you use this feature, set your preference now** or Locations will stop updating users locations completely - necessary as style of setting was changed to accommodate the new feature.

- Map can now once again be selected as default view for a Category (via Category Settings) (@Quacken)
- Topic default location from user location works again. (@祁同伟)

Plus a thousand modernisations to latest linting rules.
