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
====

  WARNING: This is unstable development towards 2.0. There are API and
           ABI incompatibilities that might affect you.

  * Domain ontologies: it is now possible to create domain-specific SPARQL
    endpoints with customizable ontologies and data locations. It is possible
    to do so either in-process using the traditional Tracker daemons to
    do the work (Note: miners rely on Nepomuk ontology).
  * Deleted nautilus/firefox/evolution/thunderbird plugins. They were in
    a pitiful state of maintainership, the latter 2 being known broken for
    some time already.
  * Deleted tracker-needle. It has been in strict maintenance state for years,
    since then other UIs have integrated Tracker search and offer a more
    compelling and modern experience.
  * Deleted tracker-preferences. Tracker has been using GSettings for years,
    so doesn't specifically require an UI for it, there's of course room
    for desktop integrated configuration, gnome-control-center does this
    for example.
  * Made portions of libtracker-miner useful on the client side. Miners don't
    mandate anymore an org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner DBus interface/name,
    this is instead delegated on TrackerMinerProxy. TrackerMinerFS has been
    made largely independent of the ontology in use, all high level operations
    that do require SPARQL updates are now exposed in TrackerMinerFSClass.
  * Removed deprecated and duplicate API on libtracker-miner
  * Added documentation about creating and maintaining ontologies.
  * Removed maemo leftovers.
  * libtracker-sparql: Protect sqlite3_bind* with interface lock
  * Improvements to meson build
