ANNOUNCEMENT: Redland RDF Application Framework 0.9.9

	       Redland RDF Application Framework 0.9.9
		http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/

Redland 0.9.9 has been released and the main changes are:

* Added librdf_world class to manage Redland environment
  startup/shutdown - pervasive change throughout all other classes

* configure improvements to try to get expat variants detected and
  working more automatically

* Added Debian (.deb) package support

* Updated to Rapier RDF/XML parser 0.9.1 - many bug fixes

Other minor changes are:

* SiRPAC parser wrapper now handles multi-line literals

* Changed stream and iterator interfaces and classes to be
  compatible, in preparation for unifying in one new filter class
  NOTE: This requires changes to user-code:
    librdf_iterator_have_elements: now !librdf_iterator_is_end
    librdf_iterator_set_map: now librdf_iterator_add_map

* Added perl and python interface warnings for above changes

* Preparation work for querying for arcs to/from a resource node,
  filtering

* Additional examples and explanations added to perl interface documentation

The release consists of the full sources, RPM binaries and SRPMS
packages for RedHat Linux 6.2.  It is also available from the
Redland SourceForge mirror site at http://sourceforge.net/projects/librdf/

Debian GNU/Linux packages can be built but I can't provide at present
since I don't have access to a Debian system.

I post updates between releases to the Yahoo! Groups list at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/redland/ and invite you to join if you
are interested.

Dave
