While we are still waiting for 3.19.90 to appear, here is an initial
review of the bugs that have been marked as "GNOME target: 3.20"
during this cycle. Since this is the first review, the list is
somewhat long, and a bit of a mixed bag, I expect us to narrow it down
for .91. In any case, all these bugs are well worth fixing, and if you
can get one of the off the list, you will make 3.20 a better release.

Please help out if you can!

Matthias, for the release team

I would like to drop https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762226 here.

In short, sqlite has hidden stuff that Tracker needs behind a compile
time option (disabled by default) because of security concerns, and
Tracker only stumbles on this at runtime.

AFAICT the security concerns come from arbitrary execution of SQL
being able to alter later queries by overriding the full-text search
tokenizer, so they don't apply to Tracker (our SQL comes from a
bizarre state machine, but doesn't qualify as "arbitrary"). Most
immediately, I'll add a configure time check for this feature,
although I don't think it's ok to advice distros to enable
fts3_tokenizer system-wide. Solutions I can think of are:

- Including a static copy of sqlite in Tracker, with fts3_tokenizer() enabled
- Updating to the newer but code-wise incompatible fts5 (we use fts4),
which provides other similar hooks we can use. It's probably too
bleeding edge though, it was considered "experimental" not long ago
[1], and I haven't seen a word saying otherwise in later release
notes.

In this situation, the second option is a matter of time, I'd just
wish there were a longer board to walk.

Cheers,
  Carlos
