Dear all, SMW 1.8 is close to its first stable release. We have now packaged a Release Candidate for download [1]. If all goes well, this will become SMW 1.8.0 in about a week. As usual, the package includes the required version of Validator.
Major new features include: * New data storage: more efficient, less database activity * Interface improvements in Special:Ask * New atom and RSS printer * SMW now provides information about #ask queries used on the wiki [2] * Support for #subobjects without a name * Ask API now stable, with added continuation support Moreover, a large number of bugs have been fixed, compatibility to all recent MW versions has been ensured, a lot of internal improvements have been made, and translations have been added. A record number of people have contributed to this work. For those of you who download versions from git, there is also an according tag there for this RC. The master branch itself will remain in a stable state until 1.8 is released. Feedback is most welcome. Cheers, Markus [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/semediawiki/files/semediawiki/Semantic%20MediaWiki%201.8%20RC1/ [2] You can now query for queries. Examples: * The 10 largest queries used on the wiki with their size and query string: {{#ask:[[query string::+]] |?query size |?query string |sort=query size |order=DESC |limit=10 }} * The number of queries that use the format "list": {{#ask:[[query format::list]] |format=count }} * The number of pages that use queries that use the format "list": {{#ask:[[has query.query format::list]] |format=count }} * The total number of queries: {{#ask:[[query size::+]] |format=count }} * Pages that have a query with format list and one with format table: {{#ask: [[has query.query format::list]] [[has query.query format::table]] }} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
