==========================
Highlighted updates compared to 2.x:
------------------------------------
* tracker-miner-fs/tracker-extract and tracker-miner-rss data are
split into 2 endpoints:
- org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files
- org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.RSS
* tracker-miner-fs data is split into different graphs:
- tracker:FileSystem
- tracker:Audio
- tracker:Video
- tracker:Documents
- tracker:Software
* Full split between file and content elements. 1:1, 1:N, M:1 and
M:N are allowed combinations of those, they relate to each other
through the nie:isStoredAs and nie:interpretedAs properties.
* Parallel installable to tracker-miners 2.x
* Better, more tests
* Reincorporated libtracker-miner and libtracker-control code.
These are no longer for public consumption
NEW in 2.3.0 - 2019-09-09
=========================
Highlighted changes since 2.2.x:
--------------------------------
* Support for reading musicbrainz tags from multiple audio formats
NEW in 2.2.99.1 - 2019-09-05
============================
* The ~/Downloads folder is now indexed non-recursively by default.
- This reduces the risk of Tracker unnecessarily crawling large
directories of source code or video game data.
- If users are storing data such as music or photos in subfolders of the
Downloads folder, they will need to move it to an appropriate place
(~/Music, ~/Pictures, etc.) so that it is still indexed.
* Dispose TrackerResource objects before unref
* Fixes in Musicbrainz metadata extraction
Translations: ca, eu
NEW in 2.2.99.0 - 2019-08-07
============================
* Support for reading Musicbrainz metadata from audio files.
* Tracker Writeback now uses GStreamer to write metadata to audio files,
instead of depending on taglib directly.
* Directories will now be ignored if they contain a file named `.nomedia`.
A file named `.trackerignore` has the same effect, but the `.nomedia` file
brings us in line with Android.
* Removed obsolete 'max-media-art-width' setting.
NEW in 2.2.2 - 2019-05-02
=========================
* Multiple leak fixes

Translations: ca, da, de, eu, es, fur, hu, it, ko, lt, lv, nl, pt_BR, sk,
sv, tr, zh_TW
Overview of changes since 1.12:
* Tracker core (store, libraries) and miners have been split, this source
tree contains the latter.
* tracker-miner-fs is now noticeably faster on large filesystem hierarchies.
* tracker-miner-rss now handles enclosures.
* Meson build instructions have been added.
* Evolution/Thunderbird/Firefox/Nautilus plugins have been removed, they
were either broken, unused, unmaintained, or all three.
* All GUI (preferences, needle) has been removed too. Both were in a bad
state of maintenance and visually outdated. The reasons to keep those
are dubious with more capable UIs using Tracker out there.
NEW in 1.99.3 - 2017-08-22
==========================
WARNING: This is unstable development towards 2.0. There are API and
ABI incompatibilities that might affect you.
* Add more assertions to testcases (CIDs 162185, 162186, 162188–162191)
* Protect further the MP3 parser against out-of-bounds reads (CID #162187)
* Fixed typos, and other code and build improvements.
Translations: cs, gl, id, ne, pl, sr, sr@latin
NEW in 1.99.2 - 2017-08-07
==========================
WARNING: This is unstable development towards 2.0. There are API and
ABI incompatibilities that might affect you.
* Tracker miners have been split from this package, all tracker libraries
and infrastructure remain at: https://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker
* Support for RSS enclosures have been added to the RSS miner.
NEW in 1.99.1 - 2017-07-19
==========================
WARNING: This is unstable development towards 2.0. There are API and
ABI incompatibilities that might affect you.
* Notable speedups to tracker-miner-fs, main loop overhead was greatly
reduced by processing elements in batches. Indexing has been observed
to be up to 2x faster, and startup on an indexed and up-to-date
filesystem up to 3x.
* More notable speedups to tracker-miner-fs startup, this applies only
to filesystems where the number of indexed folders exceed the amount
of inotify handles. Inotify monitoring is temporarily disabled during
filesystem mtime checks, resulting in up to 4x faster startup. (In
addition to the previous point).
* Refurbished the allocation scheme for underlying DB interfaces. The
benefit is twofold, this makes TrackerSparqlConnections truly isolated
instances, and results in much reduced mutex contention on stress
situations.
* Dropped deprecated API to get direct/bus connections. Use
tracker_sparql_connection_get().
* Deprecated TrackerSparqlBuilder. Use TrackerResource.
* Added tracker_sparql_connection_get_namespace_manager() to fetch the
namespaces as per the ontology of the connection.
* Dropped support for non-standard SPARQL syntax "AS var", the right
syntax is "AS ?var", defined in SPARQL1.1 and accepted by Tracker
for a long time.
* Added tracker:title-order() sparql function, only meant to be used
in "ORDER BY" clauses. It drops the common articles at the beginning
of the given variable for sorting purposes.
* Fix shutdown issues on tracker-store introduced in 1.99.0. No more
spurious integrity checks on startup.
* Misc code and build fixes.
Translations: fur, id, sk
NEW in 1.99.0 - 2017-07-06
==========================
WARNING: This is unstable development towards 2.0. There are API and
ABI incompatibilities that might affect you.
* Domain ontologies: it is now possible to create domain-specific SPARQL
endpoints with customizable ontologies and data locations. It is possible
to do so either in-process using the traditional Tracker daemons to
do the work (Note: miners rely on Nepomuk ontology).
* Deleted nautilus/firefox/evolution/thunderbird plugins. They were in
a pitiful state of maintainership, the latter 2 being known broken for
some time already.
* Deleted tracker-needle. It has been in strict maintenance state for years,
since then other UIs have integrated Tracker search and offer a more
compelling and modern experience.
* Deleted tracker-preferences. Tracker has been using GSettings for years,
so doesn't specifically require an UI for it, there's of course room
for desktop integrated configuration, gnome-control-center does this
for example.
* Made portions of libtracker-miner useful on the client side. Miners don't
mandate anymore an org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner DBus interface/name,
this is instead delegated on TrackerMinerProxy. TrackerMinerFS has been
made largely independent of the ontology in use, all high level operations
that do require SPARQL updates are now exposed in TrackerMinerFSClass.
* Removed deprecated and duplicate API on libtracker-miner
* Added documentation about creating and maintaining ontologies.
* Removed maemo leftovers.
* libtracker-sparql: Protect sqlite3_bind* with interface lock
* Improvements to meson build
Translations: ca, sr
NEW in 1.13.0 - 2017-05-23

NEW in 1.8.0 - 2016-03-21
=========================
Changes since 1.7.5:
* libtracker-miner: Adapt to libcue 2.0
* translations: da
Overview of changes since 1.6.x:
* Better support of the Sparql 1.1 syntax:
- Support for many builtin functions:
* String: CONCAT, CONTAINS, LCASE, UCASE, STRLEN, SUBSTR, STRSTARTS, STRENDS,
STRBEFORE, STRAFTER, ENCODE_FOR_URI.
* Numeric: ABS, ROUND, CEIL, FLOOR, RAND.
* Date/Time: YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTES, SECONDS, NOW.
* Checksum: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512.
* Support for Sparql 1.1's DELETE {} INSERT {} WHERE {} syntax. This allows for
performing complex updates in a single operation, without the shortcomings of
the tracker specific INSERT OR REPLACE {} syntax.
* Support for Sparql 1.1's BIND(). This allows mapping complex evaluations to a
variable within the triple pattern, so usable within it.
* The latter two applied allowed tracker-miner-fs to halve the time spent in
handling move operations.
* Many fixes to tracker-miner-fs and libtracker-miner, it is now a lot more robust
esp. around cancellation situations (eg. deleting/unmounting the folder currently
being indexed).
* Many fixes to tracker-extract modules, many consistency fixes have been fixed where
modules would produce invalid Sparql (eg. breaking cardinality limits of certain
variables) if given files with unexpected metadata.
* As a result of the last two points, 1.8.0 fixes most of the warnings/criticals that
have been reported as "spamming journald".
* Tracker now uses GTask, except for vala code.

NEW in 1.0.0 - 2014-03-24
=========================
The main changes since 0.16.x are:
* build: Require libmediaart >= 0.1.0 (soft dependency), code has been exported from Tracker to this library
* build: Require libicu >= 4.8.1.1, first version with pkg-config support, no version specified before
* build: Require Vala >= 0.18.0 (was 0.16.0) to avoid Vala 0.16 g_dbus_message_get_body() binding bug
* build: Require GLib >= 2.38 (was 2.35.1) after removing all deprecated g_test_trap_fork() calls for _subprocess()
* build: Require libosinfo >= 0.2.9 (was 0.0.2)
* build: Updated GSF dependency to >=1.14.24
* build: Improve SQLite FTS feature checking for cross compilation
* build: Improve description of build switches
* build: Remove ALL GLib marshallers. We depend on GLib (>= 2.30) which depends on libffi enabling us to do this
* build: Make sure --target-glib used with Vala is the correct GLib (was 2.34, should be $GLIB_REQUIRED), removes Vala g_type_init() warnings.
* build: Do not maintain LT versioning for internal libraries libtracker-{common,data,extract}

* New Feature: Passive extraction: Specific metadata extraction (e.g. image orientation) is done by listening for insert signals for resource metadata (e.g. file name, size, etc) and done passively rather than being required before inserting ANY information about a resource. This officially makes tracker-extract a miner of special sorts
* New Feature: SPARQL functions tracker:normalize() and tracker:unaccent()
* New Feature: libav extractor for extracting audio/video metadata
* New Feature: tracker-store GraphUpdated signal delay now configurable: This signal is what's used to notify of resource changes in the database (e.g. new file added), previously it was always 1 second, now it can be configured

Specific metadata extraction (e.g. image orientation)
is done by listening for insert signals for resource metadata
(e.g. file name, size, etc) and done passively rather than being
required before inserting ANY information about a resource
This officially makes tracker-extract a miner of special sorts
* New Feature: SPARQL functions tracker:normalize() and tracker:unaccent()

* New Feature: Full Text Search (FTS) v4 support:
New SPARQL function fts:snippet(?u)

Notes:
The database version has been incremented, this will force a
reindex for any existing Tracker installation.
Due to the deprecation of tracker:fulltextNoLimit and removal of
libtracker-fts's config option to set the minimum word length, we
now index ALL small words and rely on stop words to filter
redundant data. We still have the maximum word length checks in
place.

Translations:
Many, thank you to everyone involved.
Notes:
The database version has been incremented, this will force a
reindex for any existing Tracker installation.
Existing configurations should have migration paths to new GSettings
based format.
Of all the requirement changes listed above, the only GSettings and
GObject Introspection are absolutely required to build Tracker, the
others are optional depending on components being built. These are
also only when building from git, not a distributed tarball (which
should have the m4 macros packaged).

* Added tracker_info() and tracker_dbus_request_info() to use
G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO logging.

0.6. See commit 65adc16dc0183a1a9b08eb85440312399748262a.
* Fixed missing "break;" when parsing id3v20 tags leading to a
double free with genre/copyright assignment.

command line switch (fixes critical warnings from non-initialized
caches).

integer not a string which was leaking too.
* Added command line switch -i to force in-house extractors over
libstreamanalyzer.

NEW in 0.7.4
============
Improvements / New:
General:

SPARQL:
* Updated to refactor code duplication.
* Fixed case sensitivity for variables
Database:

signal.
libtracker-data:
* Updated to support multiple resources in queries to improve
performance for specific inserts requests.
libtracker-miner:
* Fixed re-index every time tracker-miner-fs was started due to
mtime query error since introducing timezones.

NEW in 0.7.2
============
Improvements / New:
General:
* Added support for AM_SILENT_RULES (used for producing nice build
output), see http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/NicerBuilds
* Removed filters/ - they are no longer used, was for full text
search abilities. We now do this in tracker-extract.
* Simplify CFLAGS/LIBS for applications and generally all Makefiles.
Ontology:
* Added average{audio|video}bitrate for nmm:Video. This allows the
audio and video to have different bit rates in the same URN.
* Added properties for newly added MTP.
* Added properties fourCC and waveformat for MTP.
* Added properties to NMM to support MTP (nmm:lyrics,
mmm:skipCounter, nmm:isCropped, nmm:isColorCorrected).

* Updated mtp:ScanType to subclass nie:InformationElement allowing
nie:description on instances.
* Renamed nmm:album to nmm:videoAlbum to be consistent with
nmm:audioAlbum.
Test Cases:
libstemmer:
* Fix API to return const/non-const more consistently.
libtracker-common:
* Fixed TrackerConfigFile to make it an abstract type object.
* Fixed storage (HAL) APIs to return const/non-const more
consistently.
* Fixed tracker_path_evaluate_name() so we use the HOME environment
variable with g_getenv() instead of g_get_home_dir(). This fixes
issues seen with NFS mounted home directories.
* Fixed storage (HAL) APIs to normalise directories returned.
* Fixed timezone test case for tracker-type-utils.
* Improve documentation.
libtracker-data:
* Fixed virtual property tracker:uri.
libtracker-miner:
* Added "process-pool-limit" to TrackerMinerFS, this allows us to
process more than one file at once. Previously each file was
extracted in tracker-extract and stored in tracker-store
sequentially. Now data is extracted while it is being stored if
process-pool-limit is > 1. Now it is set to 10.
* Added support for deleting recursively when a directory is removed.
* Updated the documentation.
* Removed "application" parameter in tracker_miner_pause(), since
it now uses g_get_application_name() or TrackerMiner::name
internally.
* Update vtable function process_file() for TrackerMinerFS into a
signal to be consistent with the rest of the API.
* Fixed pkg-config file to include dbus-glib.

* Fixed crawling duplicate directories if one is in the config file
and the other is a removable media.
* Fixed memory leak with returned removable devices from storage (HAL).
* Updated the Dia documentation for tracker-indexer to detail how
tracker-miner-fs works.
* Fixed so we don't print "miners all finished" more than once.
tracker-extract:
* Added tracker_text_normalize() to clean up content used for FTS.
This function effectively strips non-text characters, extra spaces,
carriage returns, etc.
* Added FTS support for MS and ODF document formats.
* Fixed PDF extractor to use tracker_text_normalize().
tracker-tag:
* Added support for removing a tag on a per URN basis instead of
for all content.
* Fixed return value
Bugs:
* Fixes GB#570608 - Translation of firefox-extension
* Fixes GB#592400 - String translation issues
* Fixes GB#589059 - Add option to set evolution plugins directory in configure
* Fixes GB#591814 - Clean up .ui files
* Fixes GB#581984 - Get rid of deprecated libgnome(ui)

(significant speed improvement).
tracker-miner-fs:
* Added support back for thumbnailing.

IgnoredDirectories.
* Added support for XDG spec. for special user directories. So now

tracker-search-bar:
* Fixed crash when clicking on the results window with the "no
results found..." message.
tracker-search-tool:
* Added smart wildcards when last character is not a space.

Notes:

and needs some love to get it working with the new APIs. It is in
the same state as it was for 0.6. As such it isn't expected to work.
NEW in 0.7
==========
Improvements / New:
* Library: libtracker-miner
A common library for data miners to use allowing easy integration
with Tracker. This provides D-Bus integration, state and progress
APIs and a means to pause / resume your miner.
* Library: libtracker-client
This API has been completely changed. It is much simpler now and
relies more on the SPARQL language than specific APIs to query
Tracker.
* Daemon: tracker-store
Completely reworked to accept SPARQL queries and updates.
Implements Nepomuk ontology instead of flawed own brand. This
ontology is implemented following the W3C RDF semantics.
* Database: Completely redesigned ALL databases.
These now support triple store and allow much faster querying.
* Application: tracker-miner-fs
Implements libtracker-miner and facilitates the old roles of
tracker-indexer and some of the old roles from trackerd like file
system crawling. This mines data and sends it to tracker-store to
put in the database about files AND applications.
* Application: tracker-sparql
A command line tool to query or update the databases using SPARQL.
* Application: tracker-import
A command line tool to import data kept in Turtle files.
* Application: tracker-search-bar
An applet for quickly searching for music, videos, images,
documents and folders.
* Application: tracker-status-icon
Previously tracker-applet, but rewritten and now much simpler.
This provides state and progress information about all miners
which are running. This also allows the user to pause / resume
data miners.
* Application: tracker-search-tool
This has been completely rewritten using vala and the new
architecture underneath it. Support for the old features are not
quite there yet, but it is similar to its predecessor!
* Application: tracker-explore
This is an application written to explore data in the database and
each item's relationship to the next. This really demonstrates
Tracker's ontology and provides it through full text searching.
* Plugin: Evolution
Now the evolution plugin is supported by the developers instead of
us dipping into their databases (as previously) which is dangerous
and unsafe. Also this implements the libtracker-miner API so it
can be controlled using tracker-status-icon.
* Patches: Nautilus & GtkFileChooser
These are currently submitted upstream to support the new APIs for
continued integration between Tracker and GNOME.
Bugs:
Too many to list here and so much development some are even obsolete.
Notes:
There is currently no migration path from 0.6. to 0.7. So all
configurations will have to be re-set up for now. This is planned to
be added before a 0.8 release.
Man pages have all been revamped providing information about all new
commands too.

- libtracker-module
(an API used by 3rd parties to index their content)
- DBus re-factoring and use of GLib bindings (for maintainability).
(The method names haven't changed, but the objects have, so the
client applications will need to be updated).
- Extractors are now run as an external process detached from the
indexer to not crash the indexer for problematic files.
- The utility applications have all been improved and use GOption
for argument parsing.
- Configuration is now more centralised and used by applications as
well as the daemon/indexer.
- File monitoring has been rewritten using GIO and libinotify:
- GnomeVFS support dropped from the project.
- Requirement for GLib 2.16.x.
- Imported libinotify (for use in the daemon for file monitoring).
(due to lack of MOVE event information from GIO).
- Support for DBus introspection.
- Support for removable media indexing (MMC, USB sticks).
- Support for meta-data caching on removable devices
(see http://live.gnome.org/MetadataOnRemovableDevices)
- Support for searching with OR operations.
- Support for XESAM (initial support only).
- Added application dedicated to indexing (tracker-indexer).
- Added estimated time remaining while indexing.
- Added module API and framework for applications to add support for
their media files to be indexed.
- Added utility applications:
- tracker-unique
(searches for unique values with option RDF filters)
- tracker-services
(lists all ontology services/properties)
- tracker-info
(lists details known to tracker about a particular file)
- Added unit tests for:
- trackerd
- tracker-indexer
- tracker-extract
- libtracker-common
- libtracker-db
- Added documentation for:
- daemon/indexer design
- libtracker-common
- libtracker-module
Missing Support:
- Index merging has been removed in this release due to lack of
time to implementing it and with plans to redesign. SQLite FTS has
the feature internally and will be used in future releases. This
is noticeable only for very large data sets where a slowdown can be
observed.

Help Manual Translations:
None
Tracker 0.6.6
============= (03 Mar 2008)
Applet
* HIG fix for preference window.
* Progress for index merges added.
Tracker daemon
* Fixed shutdown of daemon when paused to prevent hangs.
* Fixed an unfinished final index merge step when next restarted.
Tracker 0.6.5
============= (27 Feb 2008)
Applet
* Removed popup window and replaced with tooltip displaying status
and progress.
* New Applet preferences to turn off animation/hide icon/set
smart pause.
* Smart pause feature which can auto-pause the Tracker daemon
whenever the user presses a key or moves the mouse, thereby
improving system responsiveness during indexing.
* Annoying merge messages have now been removed.
* Reindex option added.
* About box added.
* Now hidden if indexing is disabled.
* Bugs with constant animation fixed.
* Animation rate slowed right down so as to be less annoying.
Tracker daemon
* Temporary blacklisting of frequently changing files (they are
indexed after one hour or on next restart of Tracker daemon).
This prevents constant indexing from downloads and torrents.
* More blacklisting of common tmp formats and vmware files.
* Memory leak fixes.
* Removed CPU-heavy corruption scan which can last long time and
occurs on battery too at startup when tracker daemon was not
previously shut down properly. Instead we now use bigger
transactions with fsync on to prevent corruption in the first
place (only slightly more disk IO is used during indexing as a
result).
* Fixed crashers.
* Fixed D-Bus shutdown/reindex call.
Tracker 0.6.4
============= (11 Dec 2007)
* Made indexing more robust by pausing if disk space is low or
index grows too big.
* Limit log file size to 10MB.
* New Tracker Applet - animates when indexing, provides ability to
pause indexing as well as viewing status and progress feedback
from indexer, statistics, and notification warnings; it can
also launch Tracker Preferences and Tracker Search Tool.
* New power management options enable much better customization.
* Ignored files fixes.
* Deskbar/tracker integration fixes.
* Made most prefs live and affect Tracker in real time; others
will prompt for restart and/or reindex where necessary.
* Shell script fixes
* Fixed Imap bug with embedded Auth in URI.
* Built-in corruption check and scan when Tracker is not shut down
cleanly - prevents infinite looping.
* Fix index deletions.
* Many more bug fixes and stability improvements.
Tracker 0.6.3
============= (25 Sep 2007)
* Fixed memory leaks.
* New index merging which allows for much better performance and
much less disk hogging I/O.
* Battery throttling - Tracker now stops indexing when on battery.
* Many more optimisations - transactions, use of O_NOATIME and
posix_fadvise everywhere.
* Check files exist before including in search results.
* Fixed disabling of indexing option in tracker-preferences.
* HIG fixes to tracker-preferences screen.
* Fixed resetting of stats.
note:
This version will cause your hard drive to be re-indexed so
that stats are fixed (previous version broke them).
Tracker 0.6.2
============= (25 Sep 2007)
* New Sqlite-based indexer which utilises the new incremental blob
I/O in sqlite 3.4.
* Highly-optimised email indexing (up to 5x faster).
* Dramatically reduced disk access and disk contention.
* Indexer now pauses for a grace period when non-Tracker processes
write to disk (providing changed files are being watched by
Tracker) - minimises slowdowns when compiling or checking out
source code.
* Makes use of idle class disk IO scheduling if available.
* Makes preliminary use of NO_ATIME (some disk access still uses
fopen).
* Fixed restore of user metadata on re-index (keywords are
auto-restored).
* Added increased number of (junk) files to automatically ignore.
* Improved stopwords.
* New Deskbar handler that uses the new Deskbar api (2.19+).
* Fixed old Deskbar handler to remove race condition causing
crashes.
* Fixed a number of annoying bugs in email indexing and Tracker
Preferences.
note:
This version will cause your hard drive to be re-indexed due to
the new Sqlite indexer backend.
Tracker 0.6.1
============= (08 Aug 2007)
* translations and bugfixes
Tracker 0.6.0 "better late than never"
============= (24 Jul 2007)
* Evolution Emails (mbox/pop/imap) now indexed.
* Gaim/Pidgin chat logs now indexed.
* Applications now indexed.
* New files indexed - all spreadsheets, csv (these require
Gnumeric to be installed) and oo draw.
* Vastly improved and new search UI using a sidebar for categories
and a new metadata tile.
* Tagging support in the UI.
* New tracker-preferences UI for easy setting of prefs.
* Added libtracker-gtk widget toolkit.
* Now uses XDG directories.
* Optimised triple store.
* Handles multiple triple stores (files, emails and user data are
all separate dbs).
* New IDF based ranking algorithm.
* XMP metadata support added.
* Made use of async calls in tracker-search-tool to prevent it
from freezing.
* Added a 60 second delay before indexing to prevent slowdowns on
desktop start-up.
* Added support for crawling directories without watching overhead
(useful for indexing source code without causing slowdowns when
compiling).
Tracker 0.5.4 "Speed Daemon"
============= (26 Jan 2007)
* Indexing at ludicrous speed - massively optimised indexing so
its now 10x faster than previous version. Indexing speeds are
now around 100 text files per second (which is about the
maximum possible considering the I/O time to read 100 files from
a hard drive).
* Index while you work - now scheduled even better so it should
never slow the system down whilst allowing users to work without
being affected by or even noticing it.
* Also provides additional --throttle command line parameter to
customise throttling even further so no need to endure noisy
fans or hot laptops while indexing.
* New verbosity param to control how much data is shown on screen
and in log.
* Fixed MPlayer backend which is now used if gstreamer backend
returns no metadata
* Improved reaping of all spawned apps - no more zombies!
* Improved mime and text file detection.
* Added improved deskbar-handler.
* Got Tracker to run nicely on FUSE based filesystems.
Tracker 0.5.3
============= (24 Dec 2006)
* Fixed memory leaks when indexing (typical mem usage should now
be ~6MB RSS when indexing large numbers of files).
* New improved metadata engine now sports multiple values per
metadata item and rdf style recursive metadata relationships.
* Support for Dublin Core types (especially for metadata
relationships).
* Changed command line options for trackerd to be similiar to
other programs.
* Metadata names now to reflect rdf style syntax (Eg DC:Keywords).
* Improved indexing of numeric data so that only meaningful
numbers are indexed (IE must contain 5 or more consecutive
numbers to be indexable).
* Improved indexing of filenames so that hyphens and underscores
are used as word breaks to create a delimited filename in
addition to the full filename.
* Improved snippet generator to start/end on a word break if
possible.
Tracker 0.5.2
============= (21 Nov 2006)
* Now has l10n/i18n support.
* Added timeout to all external processes and metadata extractors
used by Tracker.
* Added missing OpenOffice templates to our filters.
* Fixed filters to use different packages like w3m for indexing
html.
* Fixed Debian build and added new packages for data files and
translations.
* Imporved t-s-t and made snippets wordwrap, made snippets async,
used Tracker's mime facility, improved highlighting and fixed
crasher.
* Limited tracker-extract's memory usage using setrlimit.
* Added desktop files for tracker-search-tool.
Tracker 0.5.1
============= (07 Nov 2006)
* Inlined a threadsafe version of sqlite to prevent common errors
like content not being indexed. This can be overriden for those
with a threadsafe version of SQlite.
* New Gstreamer-based audio/video extractor on by default.
* Made extractors more robust.
* Fixed a number of compiler warnings.
* Tidied up the tracker-search-tool to have buttons more evenly-sized
* Fixed a few leaks and made the D-Bus interface more robust.
* Imporved IOprio detection.
Tracker 0.5.0
============= (25 Oct 2006)
* Completely new backend that has been moved from Mysql to the
nimble Sqlite database and QDBM inverted word index.
* New tracker-search-tool GUI which allows you to search for your
files in a google-like fashion with results depicted with
google-style search snippets.
* Revamped Rdf Query engine.
* New lighter design with big dependencies like libextractor
having been dropped in favour of lighter and optional metadata
extractors.
* Added new extractors that can use Totem or MPlayer.
* New options to tune Tracker for your system. We now have a
--enable-low-memory setting for use with computers with less
RAM and a --turbo mode for those who want indexing to take
place as fast as possible.
* New snowball stemmers have been integrated into Tracker to
provide some of the highest quality open source stemming around.
* New language-specific stopword lists to prevent indexng of
common words (which are of little value).
* Can optionally make use of Pango word breaking for full
internationalisation support.
Tracker 0.0.4 "Now indexing at Warp speed"
============= (16 May 2006)
* Hugely optimised indexing when many files are waiting to be
indexed (especially when you first run trackerd).
* Mass queueing of files no longer blocks the main thread, meaning
super fast searches can still be performed during heavy indexing.
* Eliminated CPU bottlenecks and improved thread synchronisations
so Tracker now hits the ground running when indexing (approx
500+ files indexed per minute on inotify-enabled systems).
* Extended metadata support for more Exif fields.
* Added more service types.
* Imporved build and support for FC5 (includes RPMs).
* Redesigned Database around version 5 of the *embedded*
in-process MySQL database library.
* Now uses the auto-repair facility provided by MySQL to
automatically repair damaged database files so you need never
worry about losing your precious data.
* Moved virtually all DB logic into stored procedures which
provides a clean seperation of DB logic and application logic.
* Added support for parsing dates in various formats including
conversion to/from ISO 8601 format
* Fixed MSWord filter to prevent looping (WvText causes inotify to
report file write change causing endless looping).
* Redesigned DB structure to be more generic and service orientated
* Added support for service types (first class objects) to DB.
* Cleaned up code warnings and fixed potential crasher.
* Fixed issues with argv handling.
* Fixed build issue for Fedora Core 5.
Tracker 0.0.3
============= (29 Mar 2006)
* Made D-Bus interface more generic
* Corrected search results of hyphenated search terms.
* Added support for limiting no. of hits for searches.
* Added optional support for sorting search results by relevance
score.
* A few minor bug fixes (Updating file name metadata correctly
during move, correcting use of hyphenated search terms).
* Streamlined the inlined version of libextractor and improved
build system and fixed bug in previous version which prevented
compilation of the inlined version.
Tracker 0.0.2
============= (27 Feb 2006)
* Full inotify support (only compatible with Linux kernels 2.6.13
or higher) with optimisations for detected moves.
* Fallback to FAM/GAMIN and manual polling for non-Linux and/or
non-inotify systems.
* Improved build system which allows you to specify which file
monitoring backend to use.
* Valgrind'ed to remove all leaks.
16 Jan 2006
* Added support for Tracker as a Nautilus Search Backend.
05 Jan 2006
* Added polling mechanism to watch files in absence of FAM/iNotify
or when FAM/iNotify watch limits have been exceeded.
13 Dec 2005
* Imported Tracker into GNOME CVS.
08 Dec 2005
* Pre-release of Tracker launched.
15 Sep 2005
* Tracker project started.
Zerion Mini Shell 1.0
