Hello Johann,

Barry is at SemTech and is quite busy there, so I took the liberty of
updating the page with the correct text. 
We do indeed support SPARQL 1.1 just as the announcement states.

Thank You for the heads up.

Regards,
Nikolay Krustev

Subject: Re: [Owlim-discussion] [Sesame] OWLIM v4 beta is headed for new
horizons in RDF storage

Hi Barry,

that sounds great! I am looking forward to the new release
and especially the SPARQL 1.1 query support!

However there is one thing that puzzles me: the recent Sesame
2.4.0 announcement had as one of its major improvements
support for SPARQL 1.1 queries.

Now the OWLIM 4.0 announcement also mentions SPARQL 1.1.
queries, but on this page:
  http://www.ontotext.com/owlim/access-methods
the SPARQL 1.1 support is NOT listed as something that is
available under Sesame?


Cheers,
  johann
