This is a release candidate for what will eventually become Apache
Subversion 1.8.0.  It is thought to be free of blocking issues, and if
none are found will become the final release.  For this reason, we
encourage thorough testing in as many environments as possible.  This
release candidate begins the four-week "soak" period to allow for
further testing, and barring show-stopping bugs, the final 1.8.0
release can be expected on or near June 14th.

A pre-release means the Subversion developers feel that this release
is ready for widespread testing by the community.  There are known issues
(and unknown ones!), so please use it at your own risk, though we do
encourage people to test this release thoroughly.  Of particular note, please
remember than persistent data, such as the working copy or repository
formats may change before the final release, and there may not be an
upgrade path from the pre-releases to the final.

As a note to operating system distro packagers: while we wish to have this
release candidate widely tested, we do not feel that it is ready for packaging
and providing to end-users through a distro package system.  Packaging a
release candidate poses many problems, the biggest being that our policy lets
us break compatibility between the release candidate and the final release, if
we find something serious enough.  Having many users depending on a release
candidate through their distro would cause no end of pain and frustration that
we do not want to have to deal with.  However, if your distro has a branch that
is clearly labeled as containing experimental and often broken software, and
explicitly destined to consenting developers and integrators only, then we're
okay with packaging the release candidate there.  Just don't let it near the
end users please.

2013-05-16 Thread Andy Seaborne 

The Apache Jena team are pleased to announce the release of Jena 2.10.1.

== About Apache Jena

Apache Jena is a Java framework for building Semantic Web applications. 
Jena provides a collection of tools and Java libraries to help you to 
develop semantic web and linked-data applications, tools and services.


http://jena.apache.org/

== Notable changes

* RDF Output

The writer for Turtle which has been rewritten and a writer for TriG 
added.  The exact output layout of the Turtle may change.


Full details of using the writing subsystem:
  http://jena.apache.org/documentation/io/rdf-output.html

* RETE patch for faster forward rule execution
  (contribution from Tilo Fischer)

* Improved Fuseki service startup script
  (contribution from Luís Duarte)

* Improve ParameterizedSparqlString to prevent SPARQL injection attacks.

* Query timeouts (including in Fuseki)

Timeouts now happen at the right point. The Fuseki status code from a 
timeouts query was incorrectly 408 - it's now 503.


* New optimizations for ORDER BY + DISTINCT/REDUCED combinations that 
gives substantially better performance for some queries


* Improvements to statistics calculations in TDB to handle rdf:type.
Large databases, with small numbers of different classes, may benefit
from recalculating stats.opt.

About Apache HttpAsyncClient

Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for accessing
resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility or
functionality needed by many applications. HttpAsyncClient seeks to fill
this void by providing an efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich
package with an event-driven programming interface based on a
non-blocking I/O model.
