ANNOUNCE: tracker 0.7.0 released
tracker 0.7.0 is now available for download from: http://download.gnome.org/sources/tracker/0.7/ 3e735bfc46390ec0c6d2d419a0f52f27 tracker-0.7.0.tar.gz What is it? =========== All-in-one indexer, search tool and metadata database. Where can I find out more? ========================== You can visit the project web site: http://www.tracker-project.org/ What's New? =========== * Library: libtracker-miner A common library for data miners to use allowing easy integration with Tracker. This provides D-Bus integration, state and progress APIs and a means to pause / resume your miner. * Library: libtracker-client This API has been completely changed. It is much simpler now and relies more on the SPARQL language than specific APIs to query Tracker. * Daemon: tracker-store Completely reworked to accept SPARQL queries and updates. Implements Nepomuk ontology instead of flawed own brand. This ontology is implemented following the W3C RDF semantics. * Database: Completely redesigned ALL databases. These now support triple store and allow much faster querying. * Application: tracker-miner-fs Implements libtracker-miner and facilitates the old roles of tracker-indexer and some of the old roles from trackerd like file system crawling. This mines data and sends it to tracker-store to put in the database about files AND applications. * Application: tracker-sparql A command line tool to query or update the databases using SPARQL. * Application: tracker-import A command line tool to import data kept in Turtle files. * Application: tracker-search-bar An applet for quickly searching for music, videos, images, documents and folders. * Application: tracker-status-icon Previously tracker-applet, but rewritten and now much simpler. This provides state and progress information about all miners which are running. This also allows the user to pause / resume data miners. * Application: tracker-search-tool This has been completely rewritten using vala and the new architecture underneath it. Support for the old features are not quite there yet, but it is similar to its predecessor! * Application: tracker-explore This is an application written to explore data in the database and each item's relationship to the next. This really demonstrates Tracker's ontology and provides it through full text searching. * Plugin: Evolution Now the evolution plugin is supported by the developers instead of us dipping into their databases (as previously) which is dangerous and unsafe. Also this implements the libtracker-miner API so it can be controlled using tracker-status-icon. * Patches: Nautilus & GtkFileChooser These are currently submitted upstream to support the new APIs for continued integration between Tracker and GNOME. Bugs: Too many to list here and so much development some are even obsolete. Notes: There is currently no migration path from 0.6. to 0.7. So all configurations will have to be re-set up for now. This is planned to be added before a 0.8 release. Tracker 0.6 and 0.7 can co-exist together. Logs/configs/databases/ are now stored in different places or named differently. All library/D-Bus APIs now versioned too. Man pages have all been revamped providing information about all new commands too. -- 25 September 2009 Tracker team _______________________________________________ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list (Log in to post comments)
