New Features:

Replaced our own database with Tracker. SPARQL is used to gain access to
the meta information about the photos. Photos are in the Nepomuk desktop
ontology represented by the classnmm:Photo. Tags are in the same
ontology represented in itsannotation section. They are represented by
the class nao:Tag.

The folder importer is now obsolete and has been removed because Tracker
automatically indexes all photos on the system.

Photo meta-data are now obtained from Tracker instead of reading Exif
directly.

Improved thumbnail management. Rely on an implementation of the
Thumbnail Management Specification, such as Tumbler, for creating
thumbnails. Created thumbnails are now stored according to the Thumbnail
Managing Standard.

No separate editor renderer. Photos can now be edited directly in the
enlarged renderer.

Moved the UI controls for the browser render’s pagination bar and zoomer
to more standard locations. The previous and next buttons, and slider
are now part of the main toolbar, while the currently displayed range is
indicated in the status bar.

UI cleanup. No text is shown in the thumbnail view and all additions or
removals to the search basket are now automatic.

New dependencies on GEGLmm, Tracker, D-Bus GLib and the
org.freedesktop.thumbnails.xxx D-Bus services. Minimum required version
of GEGL is 0.1.x.

Dropped dependencies on Exiv2, Flickcurl, LibGdamm, LibGPhoto2, LibSoup
and WebKit Gtk+.

Regressions:

Camera and Flickr importers are absent.

There is no date view or searching based on dates.

Changes made to photos can not be saved and there is no undo/redo.

The scale, brightness, contrast and saturation operations are missing
from the editor.

Tags do not have an icon associated with them.
