Hi all,

as announced earlier, SMW has established a separate extension "Semantic 
Result Formats" (SRF) for collecting useful additional printout formats for 
queries [1]. The idea is that complex formats that are not maintained as the 
core of SMW are separated, yet easy to install.

The popular "timeline" format now has been moved from SMW to SRF. SMW 1.4 will 
be the first release where this is effective, and users using timeline 
(or "eventline") will have to install SRF to continue using it. There will be 
an accompanying release of SRF to simplify this; installation is really easy 
and no changes on the wiki pages are required.

The reason for the move is that timeline is rather heavy (lots of JavaScript) 
for SMW core. It also includes a lot of code that is not maintained by the 
SMW Project. Further useful formats will be added to SRF over time. So it is 
mostly an organisational change, but also an effort to make SMW yet more 
configurable for user needs.


Cheers,

Markus
