SuRF 1.0.0 Beta released!

We are pleased to announce release of SuRF 1.0.0 Beta. This version
includes some significant changes and improvements in interface, thus
the major version number shift.

SuRF is an Object - RDF Mapper based on the popular rdflib python
library. It exposes RDF triple sets as sets of resources and integrates
them into the Object Oriented paradigm of Python in a similar manner as
the ActiveRDF does for Ruby.

New features in 1.0.0 Beta version:

    * Improved resource querying. Can mix any of these features
together:
        * filter resources by attribute values
        * filter resources using SPARQL filter expressions
        * limit, offset, order ascending/descending
        * specify graph/context where resources should be loaded from
and later saved to
        * eager-load resource attributes
    * Improved attribute querying. All the querying features available
at resource level are also available at attribute level.
    * Growing amount of documentation and examples. Still big gaps there
but the situation is improving.
