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.

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?
