==========

  * NB#144725, Tracker doesn't add ontologies/tracker#added prop...
  * NB#149100, nmm::MusicAlbum does not update when music album...
  * NB#153444, tracker-stats giving incorrect results for contacts...

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  The Deskbar applet packaged with Tracker is currently out of date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