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

  SPARQL:
  * Fixed to flush update buffer after DROP GRAPH.
  * Fixed leaking variables in reference cycle.
  * Support fts:rank and fts:offsets in function queries.

  libtracker-common:
  * Fixed battery handling so we don't throttle indexing when on low
    battery in cases where we are charging on AC power.
  * Fixed logging so that verbosity=1 displays all G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO
    messages. Previously it was unused.
  * Fixed vapi dependencies in Makefile.am
  * Added tracker_info() and tracker_dbus_request_info() to use
    G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO logging.

  libtracker-db:
  * Added tracker_db_statement_bind_null(). This allows use of ?
    parameters in SQL to be set to NULL. No longer special casing NULL
    when used as a value when deleting single valued property values.

  libtracker-data:
  * Fixed crash from dereferencing GError when NULL in
    delete_metadata_decomposed().
  * Added a rollback callback to prevent sending update events which
    are rolled back.

  libtracker-fts:
  * Use tracker:weight for per-property weight.

  libtracker-miner:
  * Fixed overwriting throttle in TrackerMinerFiles class
    construction.
  * Fixed TrackerCrawler class vtable definition of ::finished.
  * Fixed g_critical() if .service files are not available for some
    miners (this is the case for the Evolution plugin which is not
    started by D-Bus but Evolution).
  * Fixed tracker_connect() call to disable D-Bus timeouts.

  tracker-store:
  * Compress multiple ClassSignals for predicate-values into a single
    signal.

  tracker-extract:
  * Fixed libstreamanalyzer plugin so it doesn't report file ontology
    information which miner-fs already provides.
  * Fixed configure script so libstreamanalyzer is disabled by default
    but can be forced with --enable-libstreamanalyzer. Previously it
    was just compiled if it was available.
  * Fixed log spamming on start up, based on the fix for NB#126773 for
    0.6. See commit 65adc16dc0183a1a9b08eb85440312399748262a.
  * Fixed missing "break;" when parsing id3v20 tags leading to a
    double free with genre/copyright assignment.
  * Fixed MP3 extractor memory leaks in id3v24 comment tag and tlen
    tag.
  * Fixed so we initialize album art when running stand alone with -f
    command line switch (fixes critical warnings from non-initialized
    caches).
  * Added support for nmm:trackNumber for MP3 extractor. Also uses an
    integer not a string which was leaking too.
  * Added command line switch -i to force in-house extractors over
    libstreamanalyzer.
  * Removed use of g_build_filename() for log filename, instead use the
    string returned by tracker_log_init().

  tracker-control:
  * Created from tracker-processes (which no longer exists).
  * Added support for removing all thumbnails.
  * Added support for removing all config files.
  * Added support for starting Tracker's miners.

  tracker-status:
  * Fixed crash when GValue is NULL when getting status/progress.

  tracker-sparql:
  * Fixed use of '#' and use ':' instead. For example nfo#Video.

  tracker-explorer:
  * Improved UI layout to be more inline with the HIG.

  tracker-status-icon:
  * Added man page for the .cfg file.

  tracker-search-tool:
  * Fixed mimetype query.

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

  * Fixes NB#120255, Tracker doesn't read "year" tag from the mp3...

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.
