Notes:

  This release is considered a Release Candidate for 0.8. Assuming no
  major regressions are found with it, the next release is likely to
  be 0.8.0.

  The database version up has been incremented, this will force a
  reindex for any existing Tracker installation.

  The Deskbar applet has now been removed from Tracker.
