Apache Jena is an open source Java-based framework for building Semantic
Web and Linked Data applications. It includes an RDF SPARQL data
publishing server, Apache Jena Fuseki.
The Apache Jena developer community is pleased to announce the release
of Apache Jena 3.0.0. This is a major release and is not a drop-in
replacement for Jena 2.13.0 Some changes to application code are likely
to be needed.
Major changes:
* Package renaming
Packages with a base name of "com.hp.hpl.jena" become "org.apache.jena".
Vocabularies are not affected.
* RDF 1.1 Semantics for plain literals
"abc" and "abc"^^xsd:string are the same RDF term in RDF 1.1.
Persistent data (TDB, SDB) should be reloaded, especially data that uses
the explicitly typed xsd:string form.
* Java8 is required.

There are also several significant contributions to the Jena text
indexing module including deletion support and multi-language support.
See the documentation for details.
