ANNOUNCE: Zeitgeist 0.8.0 released

[Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals <siegfried gevatter com>]

On behalf of the Zeitgeist team I am proud to announce the release of
Zeitgeist 0.8.0 "I only got a donkey".

What is Zeitgeist?
---------------------------------------

Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users's activities and events,
anywhere from files opened to websites
visited and conversations, and makes this information readily
available for other applications to use. It is also
able to establish relationships between items based on similarity and
usage patterns.

What has changed?
--------------------------

Engine:

 - Fixed secondary sorting by timestamp for most ResultTypes (LP: #772041).
 - Enabled filtering by availability in FindEvents.
 - Added an origin property to events, matching that for subjects (LP: #425258).
 - Added a current_uri property to subjects, which unlike all other properties
   is mutable.
 - Add new sorting types for origin and current_uri.
 - Added support for "move" events, which automatically update the current_uri
   property where appropriate (LP: #602211).
 - Fixed inconsistencies caused by the internal cache not being updated when
   events were deleted (LP: #598666).
 - Added a Storage Monitor extension which tracks network connectivity and
   removable devices (LP: #489194).
 - Fixed datahub launching to avoid zombie processes (LP: #739780).
 - Replaced the Blacklist extension giving it a more capable API (LP: #612344).
 - Do not print a traceback when Zeitgeist fails to start because another
   instance is already running, just show a plain error message (LP: #744818).
 - Simplified log output format when printing to stderr.

Python API:

 - Fix bug in the connection (to Zeitgeist) recovery code (LP: #771970).
 - Added new ResultTypes: {Most,Least}{Recent,Popular}{CurrentUri,EventOrigin}.
 - Created *SubjectOrigin alias for all {Most,Least}{Recent,Popular}Origin
   ResultTypes.
 - Minor documentation improvements (fixed typos, etc).

Kind regards,
