Re: [SMW-devel] Case on property labels

[[[kgh]]]

Hi,

have a look here [0] for more context. I think SMW should be stopped
from allowing lower case letters at the beginning. Probably a
convenience thing for users. If you define a property like this the
property page will still start with a capital letter and I guess this is
why you get the capital letter from the hook.

Cheers, Karsten

MediaWiki 3.0.0 release: [0]. It is an epic release bringing a lot of
new features and improvements as well as bug fixes.

– Possibility to restrict query execution of expensive inline queries
whereas you may define what expensive means in your setup

– The table format was enhanced by datatable classes

language you may help translating Semantic MediaWiki at
translatewiki.net [6]

To update Semantic MediaWiki, change the version specified in your
"composer.local.json" file to "~3.0@rc" and run "composer update
--no-dev". Remember to also update your database afterwards by running
"update.php" due to schema changes and new database tables. Also rebuild
your data by running "rebuildData.php" after this.

Thank you for testing this release candidate.

Re: [SMW-devel] [Semediawiki-user] Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 - first release candidate

[[[kgh]]]

Heiya,

propably you feel the same ennui and fatigue as I do when looking at
this rigorously reformatted e-mail. On the other hand this is probably a
mail condidate which obviously failed. So let my try again
:

Hello everyone,

we are happy to announce the availability of the first release candidate
for the upcoming Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 release: [0]. Note that this
is a development version not to be used in production.

Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 will be an epic release bringing a lot of new
features and improvements as well as bug fixes, most notably:
* ElasticStore as an alternative backend
* Rework of the list formats as well as the template format which isnow
called plainlist
* Several user interface changes to make them more intutive and
mobile-friendly:
** Special:Ask including input assistance on input fields and
comprehensive input help (cheat sheet)
** Special:Browse including grouping of properties
** Property and Concept pages including a tabbed view
* Special:Search integration extended including a new search profile
* Extension of the query syntax by:
** query markers (@deferred, @control, @annotation)
** query conditions (+depth, in:, phrase:)
** query printouts (+width=)
* Possibility to restrict query execution
* Extension of the table format by datatable classes
* New create protection feature
* New namespace "smw/schema" allowing to define schemas for several purposes
* New API modules "smwbrowse" and "smwtask" and further API module
improvents
* General performance improvements

See the preliminary release notes [1] for this and for much more
information on the features, enhancements, changes and fixes this
release will bring.

Note that Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 will drop support for PHP 5.5 and
lower as well as MediaWiki 1.26 and lower. See also the compatibility
notes [2] for detailed information.

This release candidate is meant to gather feedback and to allow you to
do testing against the new version. You can try out the new features on
the Semantic MediaWiki sandbox wiki [3], or upgrade your own test wiki.
If you find any issues, please report them on our issue tracker: [4].

To update Semantic MediaWiki, change the version specified in your
"composer.local.json" file to "~3.0@rc" and run "composer update
--no-dev". Remember to also update your database afterwards by running
"update.php" due to schema changes and new database tables. Also rebuild
your data by running "rebuildData.php" after this.

Thank you for testing this release candidate.

[SMW-devel] Mermaid 1.0.0 released

[[[kgh]]]

Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce the initial release 1.0.0 of the Mermaid
extension [0] created by James Hong Kong. It requires MediaWiki 1.27 and
later as well as PHP 5.6 and later.

It provides the #mermaid parser function to support the generation of
diagrams and flowcharts with the help of the mermaid script language,
e.g. flowcharts, sequence diagrams and gantt diagrams. See the README
[1] to learn what this extension is all about.

It will proably nice to have semantic support for this extension via the
Semantic Result Formats extension. Thus I have created an issue for this
[2]. Perhaps someone would like to comment or even tackle it.

Cheers Karsten

Hi Karsten and everyone involved,

thank you for your excellent work. A really impressive list of changes -
especially the search in property values is a feature we missed until now!

So I updated SMW to 2.5.0 in a test installation the way you told us to do:

If you are using Semantic MediaWiki via Composer, update the version in

here: [1]. Remember to also update your database afterwards by running
"update.php" due to schema changes and new database tables.

The run of "composer update" worked but calling
"php maintenance/update.php"
gave me this:

MediaWiki 1.27.1 Updater

mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki: 2.5.0 installed, ~2.5 required.
Error: your composer.lock file is not up to date. Run "composer update"
to install newer dependencies

I had to change my compose.json to use "2.5.0" as version for
semantic-media-wiki.
Am I missing something?

[SMW-devel] Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0 released

[[[kgh]]]

Hello everyone,

we are happy to announce the immediate availability of the Semantic 
MediaWiki 2.5.0 release: [0,1]. This is a big release bringing a lot of 
new features and improvements as well as bug fixes.



## Version highlights

* Full-text search in property values introduced

Support for full-text search was added using the native capabilities of 
the SQL backends "MySQL"/"MariaDB" (#1481) and "SQLite" (#1801) for the 
"Text", "URL" and "Page" datatypes.


* Provenance data recording introduced

Qualifying facts using a simple provenance model is now supported 
(#1808) using existing mechanisms in defining a property specification 
together with a new "Reference" datatype.


* Property chain and language filter support in result printouts introduced

Property chains for conditions (e.g [[Located in.Capital of::Foo]]) was 
provided for some time, and now got extended (#1824) to supporting the 
syntax on print requests to retrieve values of a chain member that 
represent a page node. Values of datatype "Monolingual Text" can now use 
a language filter (#2037) to restrict the display of a value in a print 
request.


* Edit protection for better semantic gardening introduced

Edit protection to help avoid changes to properties or other data 
sensitive pages from alterations that may cause data invalidations (e.g. 
change of a property type, inconsistent specifications etc.) or process 
disruptions. This feature integrates with MediaWiki's page protection 
functionality.


* Preferred property label support introduced

Semantic MediaWiki now supports the declaration of preferred property 
labels (#1865) with the objective to show labels in a user context on 
special pages, query results, and factboxes instead of the canonical 
property label.


* Query result cache for better performance introduced

Caching of query results (#1251) was added as experimental feature to 
minimize a possible impact of query processing during and after a page 
view. This change also includes a reevaluation (#2099, #2176) of the 
query hash (used as identifier) to ensure that cache fragmentation is 
reduced and duplicate queries can share the same cache across different 
pages.


* Links in values feature now working reliably

Support for links in values for datatype "Text" was extended by 
use-cases and improved in performance as well as avoiding the former 
error-prone "PCRE-approach".


* Fixed properties now a stable feature

Support for fixed properties was overhauled, fixed (#2135) and is no 
longer experimental.


* Special page "SemanticMediaWiki" formerly "SMWAdmin" overhauled and 
extended


Special page "SemanticMediaWiki" formerly known as special page 
"SMWAdmin" was modernized and extended (#2044, etc.) including a new 
configuration setting allowing for a more fine-granded control over 
feature accessibilty (#2142).



See the release notes [0] for these highlights and for much more 
information on the features, enhancements, changes as well as fixes this 
release additionally brings to you.



## Compatibility changes

Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0 dropped support for PHP 5.4 and lower as well 
as MediaWiki 1.22 and lower. See also the compatibility notes [2] for 
detailed information on supported environments.



## Installing and upgrading

If you are using Semantic MediaWiki via Composer, update the version in 
your "composer.json" or "composer.local.json" file to "~2.5" and run 
"composer update". If you are using the tarballs, you can download them 
here: [1]. Remember to also update your database afterwards by running 
"update.php" due to schema changes and new database tables. If you would 
like to install Semantic MediaWiki you can follow the installation 
instructions: [3].



## Contributors

At this point we would like to thank all people involved making this 
release possible:


James Hong Kong, Karsten Hoffmeyer, Jeroen De Dauw, Niklas Laxström, 
translatewiki.net translators, Maciej Brencz, Felipe de Jong, Siebrand 
Mazeland, Alex Winkler, Stephan Gambke, Toni Hermoso Pulido, Amir E.
