What's New?
===========
Improvements:
- Fixed memmove error in QDBM when updating a word
- Fixed GValues leak in _result_set_to_metadata()
- Fixed small ontology error for image extractors
- Fixed trackerd not changing throttling when switching between 
charging/discharging states
- Fixed battery remaining percentage in logs, was always 0%
- Fixed crasher when calling thumbnailer with older versions of DBus, 
use int instead of int64
- Fixed logic for signalling status in tracker-indexer
- Fixed mtime checking in tracker-indexer, only reindex if file mtime is 
different, not just newer
- Fixed tracker-extract -f command to transform filenames to full paths
- Fixed setting tags in tracker-indexer
- Improve tracker-dbus_query_result_to_ptrarry(), don't recheck UTF8 
validity of strings
- Improve failure conditions if RDF type doesn't exist in ontology
- Added GStreamer helix bin information to configure statement
- Added libtool library versioning so they are not all named .so.0.0.0.
- Added GError handling to database manager so we know why ontology 
files fail to load
- Added initial code to use GVolumeMonitor::monitor-pre-unmount, GIO 
patch is pending, was not implemented
- Added collations to Services table and other indices
- Added more states to tracker-applet to give more feedback, now we have 
watching, crawling, optimising and shutting down
- Added tracker-processes utility to list and kill tracker processes, 
this also has a --hard-reset option to remove all databases too
- Added a GetPid API to tracker-extract so we request the PID before 
doing anything
- Added kill() call to tracker-indexer when tracker-extract doesn't 
respond to the DBus request for metadata
- Added cache to trackerd for GetStats calls to be more responsive when 
indexing and if recently requested
- Removed call to set SCHED_IDLE, performance was way to bad to use it
- Removed Merge options from tracker-applet, not longer used
- Disabled static libraries by default
- Disabled evolution module since it is problematic and lots of 
Evolution issues were reported
- Enabled evolution push plugin (different to the Evolution module), 
non-intrusive, Evolution sends us the data
- Updated help strings for configure options of mail push modules
- Updated GetStats SQL stored procedure call to also include super 
classes like "Files"
