 NEW CHANGES
 
-* Hugely optimised indexing when many files are waiting to be indexed (especailly when you first run trackerd)
+* Imporved indexing speed
 
-* Mass queueing of files no longer blocks the main thread meaning super fast searches can still be performed during heavy indexing
+* Removed libextractor dependency and created a suite of metadata extractors instead
 
-* 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.
-
-* Moved virtually all DB logic into stored procedures which provides a clean seperation of DB logic and application logic
-
-* Added support for parsing dates in various formats including conversion to/from ISO 8601 format
-
-* Fixed MsWord filter to prevent looping (WvText causes inotify to report file write change causing endless looping)
-
-* Redesigned DB structure to be more generic and service orientated
-
-* Added support for service types (first class objects) to DB
-
-* Cleaned up code warnings and fixed potential crasher (thanks to patch from Nate Nielsen)
-
-* Fixed issues with argv handling (thanks to patch from  Dan Nicolaescu)
-
-* Fixed build issue for Fedora Core 5 (thanks to patch from  Dan Nicolaescu)
+* Redesigned around Sqlite DB and QDBM inverted word index
 
+* New Tracker search tool (GUI)

 INSTALLATION (from source):
 
 
-The following build dependency is needed:
-
-lThe embedded mysql library ibmysqld.a version 5.0.19 or higher is required complete with corresponding header files and the mysql_config program. The libmysqld.a library is always statically linked so it is not a runtime dependency. It can be found in Debian/Ubuntu package libmysqlclient15-dev. Other distros should check their mysql client libs to see if it is present.
-
-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 --without-debug --without-query-cache  --without-geometry --without-extra-tools --without-docs --without-man --without-bench --without-innodb --with-senna
-
-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/

 Tracker comes with a number of command line apps that you can use:
 
+"tracker-tag" for setting and searching tags/keywords
+
 "tracker-extract FILE" - this extracts embedded metadata from FILE and prints to stdout
 
 "tracker-search SEARCHTERM" - this perfoms a google like search using SEARCHTERM to retrieve all matching files where SEARCHTERM appears in any searchable metadata
 
-"tracker-query" - this reads from STDIN an RDF Query that specifies the search criteria for various fields. It prints to STDOUT all matching files. You can see some example queries in the RDF-Query-examples folder. You can run the examples as "tracker-query < RDFFILE"
