SERVICE on/off control
https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/1906
Provide the ability to switch off all SERVICE processing completely.
Use
Code: arq:httpServiceAllowed
or http://jena.apache.org/ARQ#httpServiceAllowed=false
to disable.
e.g.
fuseki-server --set arq:httpServiceAllowed=false ....

Additional restrictions and control for SPARQL script functions
https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/1908
There is a new Jena context setting
http://jena.apache.org/ARQ#scriptAllowList
which is on the command line:
arq:scriptAllowList
and java constant
ARQ.symCustomFunctionScriptAllowList
Its value is a comma separated list of function names.
"function1,function2"
Only the functions in this can be called from SPARQL.
As in Jena 4.8.0, the Java system property "jena:scripting" must also be
set to "true" to enable script functions.

Checking:
+ are the GPG signatures fine?
+ are the checksums correct?
+ is there a source archive?
+ can the source archive be built?
(NB This requires a "mvn install" first time)
+ is there a correct LICENSE and NOTICE file in each artifact
(both source and binary artifacts)?
+ does the NOTICE file contain all necessary attributions?
+ have any licenses of dependencies changed due to upgrades?
if so have LICENSE and NOTICE been upgraded appropriately?
+ does the tag/commit in the SCM contain reproducible sources?
