@anujgandharv Thanks for merging master, the diffs are now much cleaner!
Regarding releases: Jena doesn't have scheduled releases. Traditionally
there have been about two releases per year, but recently the goal has been to
have more frequent releases, with around 3 month intervals. 3.1.1 was released
in November 2016 and 3.2.0 in January. Judging by that alone, a 3.3.0 release
could perhaps be made in a month or so. But this depends a lot on the state of
the codebase (no known serious bugs etc.) and of course volunteer effort, so no
guarantees.
There are nightly Jena snapshots available from the Maven repositories, so
soon after as this hits master, a 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT build can be used. You can
decide for yourself whether you want to depend on that snapshot (which
obviously will change quite frequently) or to maintain a local branch and use
that until the 3.3.0 release.
