 Tracker is also extremely fast and super efficient with your systems memory when compared with some other competing frameworks and is by far the fastest and most memory efficient Nautilus search and Deskbar backends currently availble.

 USE CASES
 
 Tracker is the most powerful open source metadata database and indexer framework currently available and because it is built around a combination indexer and sql database and not a dedicated indexer it has much more powerful use cases:
 
 * Provide search and indexing facilities similiar to those on other systems
 
-* Common database storage for all first class objects (EG a common music/photo/contacts/email database) complete with additional metadata and tags/keywords
+* Common database storage for all first class objects (EG a common music/photo/contacts/email/bookmarks/history database) complete with additional metadata and tags/keywords
 
 * Comprehensive one stop solution for all applications needing an object database, powerful search (via RDF Query), first class methods, related metadata and user definable metadata/tags

 NEW CHANGES
 
+* Hugely optimised indexing when many files are waiting to be indexed (especailly when you first run trackerd)
+
+* Mass queueing of files no longer blocks the main thread meaning super fast searches can still be performed during heavy indexing
+
+* Eliminated cpu bottlenecks and improved thread synchronisations so Tracker now hits the ground running when indexing (approx 500+ files indexed per minute on inotify enabled systems)
+
+* Extended metadata support for more Exif fields
+
+* Added more service types
+
+* Imporved build and support for FC5 (includes RPMs)
+
 * Redesigned Database around version 5 of the *embedded* in-process mysql database library
 
 * Now uses the auto repair facility provided by mysql to automatically repair damaged database files so you need never worry about losing your precious data.

 If not present you can compile libmysqld.a by downloading source tarball for an appropriate version (5.0.19+) from the bottom of page http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html
 
 The following configure flags are reccommended if building mysqld.a from source: --without-server --with-embedded-server --enable-assembler --with-mysqld-ldflags --with-client-ldflags 
 
+Generic RPMs and tarballs are also provided for the embedded mysql library and another for the development headers at  http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/
