I don't have specific information on what's new in the CoreLocation framework from the provided context. However, there is a mention of changes related to geocoding tasks, which were traditionally handled by CoreLocation. In the session "Go further with MapKit," it is mentioned that geocoding tasks are being moved to MapKit, with the deprecation of CLGeocoder and soft deprecation of CLPlacemark. This indicates a shift in how geocoding is handled, moving away from CoreLocation to MapKit.
For more detailed updates on CoreLocation, you might want to check the official Apple Developer documentation or specific WWDC sessions dedicated to CoreLocation.
