All issues for this release:

== RDF 1.2
There is a Model API class StatementTerm for RDF 1.2 triple terms.
This change reflects the W3C Working Groups decision. It is only
permitted in the only in the object position. Unlike the work of the
RDF-star CG, triple terms are not valid in the subject position.
Most application code will be using reifiers : Model.createReifier
== Fuseki/TDB2
There is a fix to release database files promptly on deletion.
This includes after compaction.
