[ANN] Sesame 1.2 released

=== Sesame 1.2 ===

Sesame 1.2 is now available for download. The most important new
feature of this release is SeRQL revision 1.2. New features of SeRQL
include:

     * Nested queries
     * Existential quantification
     * Set algebraic operators (union, difference, intersection)
     * namespace(), localName() functions
     * isBNode(), isURI() functions
     * Nested boolean constraints in optional path expressions

Other updates in Sesame: it is now possible to register an object as a
listener on a repository, which will then notify it of content changes.

Also, the RDQL engine has been updated to work with the generic SAIL
query model, significantly improving performance of the RDQL query
engine and extending its expressivity - such as substring match.

Several other large and small issues and new features are also
available in this release. For a full overview of changes see the
Changelog:
