14 DAY TRIAL // On July 15, Martyn Russell, the developer of the open-source semantic data storage engine for desktop and mobile devices that is heavily used in the GNOME desktop environment, announced the immediate availability of Tracker 1.5.0.
According to the internal changelog, which we have attached at the end of the article for reference, Tracker 1.5.0 fixes no less than 16 issues reported by users since the previous release of the software.
It revamps the ontology documentation, fixes high memory consumption in the tracker-extract component, repairs deceptive "out of space" checks, and adds support for searching files by tags to the tracker-needle component, which now uses gsettings.
Moreover, the tracker-miner-fs component has been repaired to enter idle state, extraction of GStreamer-based albums now works correctly, several compiler warnings have been addressed, and support for rebuilding FTS tokens on tokenizer changes has been added.
Tracker 1.5.0 contains many other small fixes for file monitoring, MP3 extraction, EPUB extraction, GSF-based extraction, as well as OpenBSD portability issues. Furthermore, the first indexing of the GNOME user documentation (gnome-user-docs) has been repaired, and extractors now support dummy .rule files.
Last but not least, several language translations have been updated in the Tracker 1.5.0 release, including Bulgarian, Catalan, Czech, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Slovak, Slovenian, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese Traditional.
