## Project Activity:
Jena released 4.7.0. The release included feature contributions from 6
people who are not PMC members or project committers. The web site has
also seen pull-requests from external contributors.
This was a significant release with two major features.
LATERAL is a addition to the SPARQL query language being developed by
the semantic web community.
RDF Patch is a file format for recording changes to RDF data and it can
be used recording changes, incremental backup and also as part of high
availability replication of Jena Fuseki triplestore instances.
## Community Health:
The significant change in email on dev@ is in part due to the release
because the project needed to address a random test instability.
Otherwise, the quarter has been the usual situation of more user
requests than can be addressed within the resources of the project.
