dialogs</p>

+    <p>libmediaart: New library created from sources in Tracker to handle art associated with media (like 
audio/video). Not to be confused with thumbnail generation which is usually for personal content (e.g. photos 
taken).</p>
+    <p>New library: for managing miners you can use libtracker-control now</p>
+    <p>New feature: passive extraction offers specific metadata extraction (e.g. image orientation) by 
listening to signals on resource changes. Previously inserting ANY information about a resource was done in 
one step. This feature means that now file data (e.g. file name, size, etc) is inserted even if specific 
metadata isn't.</p>
+    <p>New feature: prioritization of RDF types is available to enable extraction of certain file types 
before others</p>
+    <p>New feature: SPARQL functions tracker:normalize() and tracker:unaccent() have been added</p>
+    <p>New feature: tracker-sparql --tree to describe the database ontology and help understand the class 
hierarchy.</p>
+    <p>New feature: encoding detection for metadata with ICU</p>
+    <p>New feature: store's GraphUpdated signal delay is now configurable. This signal is what's used to 
notify of resource changes in the database (e.g. new file added). Previously it was always 1 second.</p>

     <p>High resolution display support was first introduced last release in 3.10. This provided 
high-resolution display support for much GNOME 3, but a number of key areas were unaddressed (in particular 
the Activities Overview, top bar, lock screen and system dialogs). Since then, high-resolution display 
support has been extended to include all aspects of the core experience, meaning that GNOME now has the best 
level of high-resolution display support of any Free Software desktop.</p>
