tracker 0.17.1

About Tracker
=============

Tracker is a semantic data storage for desktop and mobile devices.
Tracker uses W3C standards for RDF ontologies using Nepomuk with
SPARQL to query and update the data.

Tracker is a central repository of user information, that provides two
big benefits for the user; shared data between applications and
information which is relational to other information (for example:
mixing contacts with files, locations, activities and etc.).

News
====

The main changes since 0.17.1 are:

  * build: Require Vala >= 0.18.0 (was 0.16.0) to avoid Vala 0.16 
g_dbus_message_get_body() binding bug
  * build: Require GLib >= 2.38 (was 2.35.1) after removing all 
deprecated g_test_trap_fork() calls for _subprocess()
  * build: Require libosinfo >= 0.2.9 (was 0.0.2)
  * build: Use gtkdocize in autogen.sh differently to avoid "-chmod 
command not found", see GB#701259
  * build: Remove ALL GLib marshallers. We depend on GLib (>= 2.30) 
which depends on libffi enabling us to do this
  * build: Add SQLite 3.8.1 to list of bad SQLite versions
  * New Feature: Passive extraction:
                 Specific metadata extraction (e.g. image orientation)
                 is done by listening for insert signals for resource
                 metadata (e.g. file name, size, etc) and done
                 passively rather than being required before inserting
                 ANY information about a resource
                 This officially makes tracker-extract a miner of
                 special sorts
  * New Feature: SPARQL functions tracker:normalize() and 
tracker:unaccent()
  * New Feature: libav extractor for extracting audio/video metadata
  * New Feature: tracker-store GraphUpdated signal delay now config:
                 This signal is what's used to notify of resource
                 changes in the database (e.g. new file added),
                 Previously it was always 1 second, now it can be
                 configured
  * Fixes: GB#721880, fts:offsets returns wrong values
  * Fixes: GB#722525, #include <glib.h> is missing in src/tracker-ioprio.h
  * Fixes: GB#722353, #!/bin/bash in docs/tools/gen-doc.sh
  * Fixes: GB#720686, libtracker-extract: Link against libicu when using it
  * Fixes: GB#719512, Adapt to libosinfo 0.2.9 & make use of variant API
  * Fixes: GB#715040, Avoid starting tracker-store twice
  * Fixes: GB#699412, libtracker-fts/parser/nwords_6 test fails
  * Fixes: RH#1026283, Nautilus eating 100% cpu
  * libtracker-common: Added strnlen() compatibility function
  * libtracker-common: Fixed unit test for SCHED_IDLE expecting 
SCHED_OTHER by default, but jhbuild uses SCHED_IDLE as standard.
  * libtracker-fts: Strengthen against SQLite failures. Ensure no 
infinite loos in sqlite3_step() and don't use g_once_init_enter() for init
  * tracker-extract: Support Qt5
  * tracker-extract: Removed --disable-shutdown command line option now 
that it is instantiated by DBus
  * tracker-extract: Fixed memory leak with strings processed detected 
as UTF16
  * tracker-extract: msoffice: Fixed memory leak, calling g_free() on 
wrong pointer
  * tracker-extract: mp3: Fixed memory leak, cases where "" was found 
in tags were not always freed
  * tracker-extract: gstreamer: Fixed memory leak on error for 
GstDiscovererInfo structs
  * tracker-extract: gif: Fixed memory leak on error for filename
  * functional-tests: Set up XDG data and cache directories like we do 
in utils/sandbox/
  * functional-tests: Avoid invalid calls to g_source_remove(), avoids: 
"GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 130 was not found when attempting to remove it"
  * utils/sandbox/tracker-sandbox: Use separate dirs for config and 
data because there may be file name conflicts
  * docs/tools/ttl2sgml: Don't GError on nao:deprecated namespaces in 
the ontology, errors for mlo which is entirely deprecated
