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.).

Changes since 1.7.5:
  * libtracker-miner: Adapt to libcue 2.0
  * translations: da

Overview of changes since 1.6.x:
  * Better support of the Sparql 1.1 syntax:
    - Support for many builtin functions:
      * String: CONCAT, CONTAINS, LCASE, UCASE, STRLEN, SUBSTR,
STRSTARTS, STRENDS,
        STRBEFORE, STRAFTER, ENCODE_FOR_URI.
      * Numeric: ABS, ROUND, CEIL, FLOOR, RAND.
      * Date/Time: YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTES, SECONDS, NOW.
      * Checksum: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512.
  * Support for Sparql 1.1's DELETE {} INSERT {} WHERE {} syntax. This
allows for
    performing complex updates in a single operation, without the
shortcomings of
    the tracker specific INSERT OR REPLACE {} syntax.
  * Support for Sparql 1.1's BIND(). This allows mapping complex
evaluations to a
    variable within the triple pattern, so usable within it.
  * The latter two applied allowed tracker-miner-fs to halve the time spent in
    handling move operations.
  * Many fixes to tracker-miner-fs and libtracker-miner, it is now a
lot more robust
    esp. around cancellation situations (eg. deleting/unmounting the
folder currently
    being indexed).
  * Many fixes to tracker-extract modules, many consistency fixes have
been fixed where
    modules would produce invalid Sparql (eg. breaking cardinality
limits of certain
    variables) if given files with unexpected metadata.
  * As a result of the last two points, 1.8.0 fixes most of the
warnings/criticals that
    have been reported as "spamming journald".
  * Tracker now uses GTask, except for vala code.
