We are pleased to announce the release of Apache Jena 3.0.0. The
versions of Fuseki to go along with Jena 3.0.0 are v2.3.0 and v1.3.0.
Jena 3.0.0 is not a drop-replacement for Jena 2.13.0 and some changes to
application code are likely to be needed.
Major changes:
* Package renaming
Packages with a base name of "com.hp.hpl.jena" become "org.apache.jena".
Vocabularies are not affected.
* RDF 1.1 Semantics for plain literals
"abc" and "abc"^^xsd:string are the same RDF term in RDF 1.1.
Persistent data (TDB, SDB) should be reloaded, especially data that uses
the explicitly typed xsd:string form.
* Java8 is required.
For more details, please see
http://jena.apache.org/documentation/migrate_jena2_jena3.html
There are also several significant contributions to the Jena text
indexing module including deletion support and multi-language support.
See the documentation for details.
