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.

  * Notable speedups to tracker-miner-fs, main loop overhead was greatly
    reduced by processing elements in batches. Indexing has been observed
    to be up to 2x faster, and startup on an indexed and up-to-date
    filesystem up to 3x.
  * More notable speedups to tracker-miner-fs startup, this applies only
    to filesystems where the number of indexed folders exceed the amount
    of inotify handles. Inotify monitoring is temporarily disabled during
    filesystem mtime checks, resulting in up to 4x faster startup. (In
    addition to the previous point).
  * Refurbished the allocation scheme for underlying DB interfaces. The
    benefit is twofold, this makes TrackerSparqlConnections truly isolated
    instances, and results in much reduced mutex contention on stress
    situations.
  * Dropped deprecated API to get direct/bus connections. Use
    tracker_sparql_connection_get().
  * Deprecated TrackerSparqlBuilder. Use TrackerResource.
  * Added tracker_sparql_connection_get_namespace_manager() to fetch the
    namespaces as per the ontology of the connection.
  * Dropped support for non-standard SPARQL syntax "AS var", the right
    syntax is "AS ?var", defined in SPARQL1.1 and accepted by Tracker
    for a long time.
  * Added tracker:title-order() sparql function, only meant to be used
    in "ORDER BY" clauses. It drops the common articles at the beginning
    of the given variable for sorting purposes.
  * Fix shutdown issues on tracker-store introduced in 1.99.0. No more
    spurious integrity checks on startup.
  * Misc code and build fixes.
