NEW in 3.7.0 - 2024-03-16

• Handle POST requests in HTTP endpoints
• Fix a number of Coverity and static scan reports
• Drop deprecated SQLite API
• Test improvements

Translations: da, de, fr, it, lv

Highlighted changes since 3.6.0:

• New TrackerEndpoint access control API
• New API to map language tagged strings to rdf:langString
• Better handling of corrupted databases
• Many HTTP endpoint improvements
• Better performance
• Improved test coverage

NEW in 3.7.rc - 2024-03-04

• Improve database integrity checks so they don't necessarily happen after unclean exit, and so there are greater guarantees to repair the damage.
• Handle HTTPS in SERVICE syntax
• Fixes for 32-bit platforms
• Fixes to bash completion

Translations: cs, en_GB, es, eu, fa, gl, he, hu, id, ka, ko, lt,

NEW in 3.7.beta - 2024-02-12

• Add Avahi support to the TrackerEndpointHttp API object. This only announces endpoints explicitly exposed (i.e. via code) through an HTTP port and does not happen out of the box. The only currently existing user of this API is the tracker3 endpoint --http-port CLI subcommand.
• There is now an --arg argument in tracker3 sparql subcommand to assign values to parameters in queries.
• CLI subcommands are now split into their own executables
• Improvements in SPARQL handling
• Code cleanups and refactors
• Build/CI improvements

Translations: uk

NEW in 3.7.alpha - 2024-01-08

• New TrackerEndpoint access control API
• New API to map language tagged strings to rdf:langString
• Embed Nepomuk ontology as a GResource
• Allow using TrackerEndpoint on private D-Bus connections
• Cache SPARQL statements in D-Bus endpoints
• Reduce heap memory usage in large transactions over D-Bus endpoints
• Make internals future proof wrt handling of string literals in SQLite
• Threading improvements for direct connection SELECT queries
• Performance improvements
• CI, build and test improvements

Tracker-miners errors out:

../meson.build:210:4: ERROR: Problem encountered: Landlock was auto-enabled in build options, but is disabled in the kernel

We can disable it with -Dlandlock=disabled or enable LandLock in the kernel:

CONFIG_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK=y
CONFIG_LSM="landlock"

Append other LSM needed for CONFIG_LSM like "landlock,selinux,apparmor" but I doubt if LFS supports them.

The sed in tracker-miners is no longer needed (with ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker-miners/-/merge_requests/493 merged it seems no longer invoking shutdown syscall).
