+NEW in 1.99.0 - 2017-07-06
+==========================
+
+ 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
