> 
> Hey all,
> 
> I am proud to announce the first release candidate of Semantic MediaWiki
> 1.7 .
> 
> This release candidate is meant to give you a chance to test 1.7 and try
out
> the new features. You should not run it on production wikis.
> 
> I'd like to thank all the people that contributed to this release, without
you
> this release would not have been possible :)
> 
> == What's new ==
> 
> * Added native "internal objects" that can be set using #setobject.
> * Added support for selecting a default graph when using RDF stores,
>   configuration called $smwgSparqlDefaultGraph
> * Use of native MediaWiki sortable tables for the table formats.
> * Added value distribution functionality that can be used by result
formats.
> * Added validation and manipulation of the format paremeter using
> Validator.
> * Added 'class' parameter to the 'table' format, which allows setting the
CSS
>   class.
> * Added automatically-generated CSS classes for rows and cells in 'table'
> format.
> * Added alpha version of native SMW Ask API with modules 'ask' and
> 'askargs'.
> * Added setting to choose which optional special properties are enabled
> ($smwgPageSpecialProperties).
> * Added creation date special property (disabled by default) (bug 32165).
> * Added support for altitudes in geographic coordinates (bug 32698).
> * Added definitions for missing params (sort, order, searchlabel) to the
base
> query printer.
> * Added automatic invocation of the SMW_setup maintenance script when
> running
>   update.php (for MW >= 1.19).
> * Added support for the Page Schemas extension.
> 
> == Compatibility changes ==
> 
> * Dropped compatibility with MediaWiki 1.15.x (and earlier).
> * Dropped compatibility with old-style (SMW < 1.6) query printers.
>   This means that older versions of extensions that add result formats,
>   such as Semantic Result Formats, will no longer work with SMW 1.7.
>   More recent versions will of course work properly.
> * Full compatibility with MediaWiki 1.18 and foreward-compatibility with
1.19.
> 
> == Bug fixes ==
> 
> This release comes with a load of bug fixes, of which some are listed
below:
> 
> * Fixed separator and filename parameters for the DSV format.
> * Fixed display of properties of type URL (bug 30912).
> * Fixed hide query functionality on Special:Ask (bug 30768).
> * Fixed display of internal SMW helper constants in certain queries (bug
> 30969).
> * Fixed some issues with the category result format (including bug 30761).
> * Fixed email validation issue (bug 32295).
> * Fixed incorrect handling of sort and order parameters on Special:Ask
(bug
> 32706).
> * Fixed display of images to old behavior after a recent regression.
> * Fixed several more issues not listed here.
> * Fixed fatal error in the concept cache maintenance script (bug 32592).
> * Fixed factbox links to Special:SearchByProperty containing numerical
> numbers for
>   wikis in languages with the comma as decimal separator instead of a dot.
> * Fixed the "hide incoming properties" link on Special:Browse.
>
