What's New?
===========

  General:
  * Fixed libvorbis detection in configure.
  * Fixed data/.gitignore to not exclude .desktop.in files.
  * Added AC_CACHE_CHECK for ioprio in configure for cross-platform
    compilation.
  * Imported data generation scripts from old repository.

  Ontology:
  * Fixed nmm:exposureTime to be a double not integer.
  * Added tracker:weight to ontology properties (was only used on few
    properties before like nie:title). Used for scoring/ranking.
  * Added more FTS fields so FTS matching occurs on more useful data.
  * Added nco:metacontact concept
    (see http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/Documentation/ContactsOntology)
  * Removed cardinality restriction for dc:contributor.
  * Removed cardinality maximum from nco:contrbutor & nco:creator.
  * Renamed nmo:VOIPCall to nmo:Call.

  SPARQL:
  * Fixed fts:rank when fts:match is not first predicate in query.

  Functional Tests:
  * Added for fts:rank
  * Added for nco:metacontact

  libtracker-common:
  * Fixed tracker_coalesce() to not use empty/blank strings.
  * Fixed tracker_is_blank_string() to be UTF-8 compliant.
  * Added tracker_sparql_builder_object_double() method.

  libtracker-data:
  * Fixed assertion using cursors open twice (tracker-store crash).
  * Fixed outer query cursors being used by inner queries.

  libtracker-miner:
  * Fixed calls to tracker-store to be completely async (no blocking
    when tracker-store is not available)
  * Fixed trying to free invalid GPtrArray pointers.
  * Updated reference documentation.
  * Improve error reporting when initializing volumes.

  tracker-store:

  tracker-extract:
  * Fixed return value in albumart_set().
  * Fixed JPEG to coalesce nie:comment.
  * Fixed JPEG leak if file size is < 18 bytes.
  * Fixed MP3 id3v20/v22 memory corruption.
  * Fixed MP3 id3v20/v22 comments retrieval.
  * Fixed cases where _object_unvalidated() was used over _object().
  * Added album art support with libquill (alternative to GdkPixbuf).
  * Updated ALL plugins to use TrackerSparqlBuilder API (from older
    variant), this produces less D-Bus traffic and the output is
    generally nicer.

  tracker-search-bar:
  * Fixed to show all documents, not just paginated ones.
  * Fixed icon background to be transparent.
  * Fixed showing results and no results label at the same time.
  * Fixed window height to be a lot longer by default.
  * Fixed selecting blank rows for separators.
  * Fixed showing blank rows after all results.
  * Fixed sorting (broken by use of hash table).
  * Added vertical orientation for applet.
  * Added ranked sorting for searches.
  * Added limit for each category to 5.
  * Added interactive searching on a 300ms delay.

  tracker-search-tool:
  * Added interactive searching.


Bugs Fixed
==========

  * Fixes GB#600081, Get rid of Bonobo

NOTES:
======

  The Deskbar applet packaged with Tracker is currently out of date
  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.
