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.).
ChangeLog
=========

Release 1.5.0
distcheck fixes
tracker-extract: Remove ModulePath from comic/ebook rules
These relied on the dummy extractor, removing the ModulePath is a similar
silent shortcut since commit 06f7d4a1a.
extract-gstreamer: Rely better on the GstDiscoverer than mimetype sniffing
There's mimetypes that easily fool mimetype detection (eg. OGG videos with
.ogg extension instead of .ogv will be detected as audio/ogg), the
GstDiscoverer will however find out correctly whether there's audio and/or
video information, so we should rely on it as a last resort, rather than
(weaker) mimetype sniffing.
This prevents .ogg suffixed videos from being played by gnome-music (oddly,
with success, in a separate window).

libtracker-extract: Accept rules with no ModulePath
This will enable us to make dummy rules for files that must have some RDF
type(s), but don't have an extractor module.

tracker-extract-gstreamer: Fallback to preview image for album art
Some files don't provide a cover image, but just a preview image, we can
use that as albumart.
This commit reuses code from a fallback which looks bogus nowadays, since
it just does the same than the while loop above. If we reached there, it
would fail again for sure.

libtracker-miner: Keep a monitor on root index tree files on deletion
If Tracker is running with some index-recursive-directories set (for
example, ~/Music), and one of those directories is moved, then the file
monitor watching for its existence is deleted. This means that if it is
then moved back to the location listed in index-recursive-directories,
its renewed existence is not detected, and its contents are not
re-indexed.
Fix this by keeping a monitor around on a directory if that directory is
listed as an index tree root, even if the directory is deleted.

tracker-miner-fs: Reset retry counter when we need to prepend parents
The situation where a parent directory has to be prepended in order to
process the current file is rare, mainly reserved to IndexFile calls
on files out of watched dirs.
This is a corner situation, but it is a legit place where we have to
put the file back again in the queue, and thus we shouldn't increase
the retry counter.
This nominally fixes the indexing of gnome-documents-getting-started.pdf
on a fresh-out tracker DB, as requested by gnome-shell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751992
tracker-preferences: Use the new command line tool
We resort to the tracker CLI for restart/reindex, the calls have
changed to use Posix.system() as there's some operations that are
now mutually exclusive in the CLI tool (eg. reset and start daemons)
and still need to be performed in a single step here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748677
tracker-preferences: Remove needless prints
These won't tell a lot, since we're killing the whole thing.

Fix tracker-encoding-test
After commit ede17cc22b0c6245c030 this was failing to compile.

cli: Improve bash completion script
We now autocomplete files where it applies (various -f/--file options,
tracker info) and '-' prefixed switches.
cli: Mark missing strings for translation
The help strings in the sql subcommand weren't marked as translated
extract-mp3: Bail out on encoding detection if confidence is too low
Libicu encoding detection is able to tell the confidence it got on
the detection, we should be using that in case the confidence is
too low, as that means the returned encoding is probably bogus, and
we have an encoding to fallback on.
This fixes detection on the file reported on bug #735515, where
a couple of 'ï' chars (valid ISO-8859-1) make libicu detect UTF-16BE,
although with an extremely low confidence.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735515
libtracker-extract: initialize value
ucsdet_open() expects an status set to 0, otherwise it will bail out
early. With uninitialized memory we might or might not get that.

vala: Ensure all .vapi files contain GIR namespace CCode attributes
Ensure all .vapi files exported by Tracker contain gir_namespace and
gir_version CCode attributes, otherwise Vala code compiled against them
will hit this warning:

libtracker-data: Trigger rebuild of FTS tokens on parser changes
Whenever there's a change in the implementation of our tokenizers, we'll
trigger a rebuild of the FTS table. This allows for live updates to our
tokenizers without the need to redo the database from scratch.
The FTS rebuild is also triggered on locale changes.
libtracker-data: Add functions to maintain a "parser sha1" stamp file
We'll keep a ~/.cache/tracker/parser-sha1.txt file, containing the sha1 of
the last commit that affected libtracker-common/tracker-parser*, which
Tracker will compare against its compiled-in one. This will help trigger
automatic FTS token rebuild on parser changes.
libtracker-data: Add TrackerDBInterfaceSqlite method to rebuild FTS tokens
Not a lot going on here, we just punch the hole so it can be used on
tracker-data-manager.c
tracker-fts: Add method to rebuild the FTS tokens
This may be useful on locale changes or tokenizer updates, as our
FTS table uses external content (the fts_view view we create for that
purpose), All text content is external to it, so we can safely rebuild
all tokens from scratch.
libtracker-common: generate sha1 for the current parser incarnation
This is created out of the last git commit sha1 from the relevant
parser files. It may be used in order to rebuild the FTS table tokens
after we perform changes in the tokenizers themselves.
docs: Ensure ontology properties can be looked up through devhelp
The devhelp index generation relies on specific roles set in the
docbook XML, we were setting none for ontology properties though.

tracker-miner-fs: Fix a completion check when removing the final task
Depending on how mining goes, this path might be the last one taken
before the miner is ready to go idle again. However, the check on the
task pool size is guaranteed to be false because the task which
item_add_or_update_continue() was called on has not yet been removed
from the pool — that’s done directly below.
Fix that by removing the task from the task pool before checking whether
the pool is empty.
This fixes stalls in tracker-miner-fs where `tracker-control -S` would
show the following for ever (when running with
index-recursive-directories set to a non-empty list):
1% File System - Crawl finished for directory 'blah'
Previously, the only way to fix this was to pause and then resume the
miner.

functions-tracker: Fix collate order
Somewhere between sqlite 3.8.7 and 3.8.10.2, sqlite seemed to fix
a bug on ORDER BY SOMESTRINGFUNCTION() clauses, where it would
invariably apply the BINARY collator, despite tracker specifying
its own one.
This is something that 2 libtracker-data tests were indirectly
testing, where queries are sorted by tracker:coalesce(), these now
happen to fail because the stored results inadvertently had the wrong
order.

extract-mp3: Stop processing after finding padding
ID3v2[0-4] Allows the possibility of some padding at the end of an
ID3 block, defined to be filled with 0x00, just in case later tag
additions don't cause a full rewrite of the file. This means there's
nothing for us when we hit this.
ID3v2.4 also defines the existence of "ID3 footers", those always
start as "3ID", and should be skipped for our purposes, as those
are basically a mirror of the ID3 block.
This most notably avoids a bunch of "Ignoring unknown frame ''"
spew on -v 3 logs, as padding is fairly common.
extract-mp3: Account for the tag header size in calculations
In the parsing of id3v2[0-4] tags, we calculate offsets in base
of the size we get in the header, which according to id3 specs,
doesn't include the 10 bytes of the header itself.
This means there's a disparity of 10 bytes between our 0-based
offsets, and our 10-based fetched size, we must account for this
when iterating through frames.
Also, we were possibly (and mistakenly) iterating till the end
of the file (comparing against size instead of tsize(+header) in
the while loops), we only have to parse one id3 block at a time.
If the former bug could conceivable make us miss the last frame,
this one would overcompensate for it.
Less importantly, this fixes the incorrect "position +
content size > tag size, not processing any more frames" debug
spew I was seeing on many mp3s with -v 3.
extract-mp3: Return false if we find no frame headers
This means we're probably not dealing with an mp3 file, even if
we thought so. This makes it possible to bail out into more generic
modules (eg. gstreamer) that might catch what the file is for real.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733136
tracker-extract: Check the return value from TrackerExtractMetadataFunc
Extract modules might fail mid-processing, when the TrackerSparqlBuilder
has been partially written, we should bail out and move on to the next
extract module, as we can't guarantee its validity.

Merge branch 'decorator-memory-reduction'
tracker-miner-fs: Delete nie:dataSources on update
Decorators should be updating again all relevant information, so ensure
their nie:dataSource is deleted for these to kick in again.
This used to be unnecessary because updated items just went to the
internal decorator queue, without further checks. Now that the decorators
query the database for the next items missing that dataSource, it is
crucial to do this somewhere.
tracker-extract: tell what the error really means
The current one is not really intuitive.
libtracker-miner: Reduce TrackerDecorator file cache size
Instead of keeping all items in memory, a small cache is kept of upcoming
files to be processed, querying the database again for files missing the
nie:dataSource when the cache has been flushed. When no further items are
processed, the miner is stopped. Whenever the prioritized rdf:types list
changes, the cache is dropped, just to query again with the new order kept
into account.
This reduces the potential memory usage of tracker-extract, it would
previously would grow linearly with the number of files left to be
inspected, which might bring in some memory pressure on certain scenarios.
On the downside, this obviously makes the decorator a little bit slower,
due to more queries happening (as opposed to a huge one), and at times the
decorator is idle waiting to know what else to do.
tracker-extract: Keep ref on recovery files
The hashtable expects its own ref here, otherwise we get critical
warnings after processing that item.
docs: delete xml folder before regenerating ontology docs
Otherwise it simply fails if there happens to be stale data
2015-06-30 Carlos Garnacho <carlosg gnome org>
distcheck fix
update docs .gitignore
docs: Delete dia diagrams, and pre-generated PNGs
Those weren't that much clear nor useful, those are deleted in
a separate commit in case we want to rescue and rework them
someday.
docs: Delete ontology graph tool
This is now unused, so remove the tool, and the configure.ac check
for fdp.
docs: Rework ontology docs generation entirely
Ontology docs weren't in a much good shape, besides many ontologies
being seriously underdocumented (something which should improve
separately), the generated docs were little more than a data dump,
and the diagrams shown were broken, confusing, or both. This all
amounts to quite counter-productive developer docs.
So the ontology docs have been refurbished, the per-ontology
descriptions are still useful, but have been stripped of all images,
and the docs overall are now completely class-centric, per
rdfs:Resource subclass we now get:
- Ascii diagram of its local hierarchy, up to all its ancestors and
down to all its direct children.
- All properties that affect the specific class. This is notably
more intuitive now as there's properties defined on one ontology
that are in the domain of classes in another ontology, something
which you couldn't get at a glance in the previous docs
- It clearly states which properties supersede which superproperties,
which again makes it easier if those apply for the class at hand.
The result feels quite neater, and will indeed be more resembling
to other gtk-doc generated API docs.

libtracker-common: Don’t fail statvfs() on a missing directory
If $XDG_CACHE_HOME/tracker doesn’t exist on startup, the statvfs() call
to determine how much space is left will fail with ENOENT. However, the
code currently interprets this as being out of space, and will cause the
rest of Tracker to shut down, even if there is actually plenty of space
left on the disk.
Avoid this by traversing up the directory hierarchy until statvfs() does
not fail with ENOENT.

tracker-extract: Only extract media art if artist or title is known
media_art_process_*() require at least one of the track’s artist and
title to be specified, and will fail an assertion precondition if both
