[ANNOUNCEMENT] Eclipse RDF4J 2.0 released!

We are pleased to announce the first stable release of Eclipse RDF4J 
<http://rdf4j.org/>, the official successor to the OpenRDF Sesame framework.

RDF4J 2.0 is functionally equivalent to Sesame 4.1, but with a number of bug 
fixes and minor improvements. More importantly, it comes with new package names 
and new logos. Read the Sesame to RDF4J Migration Guide 
<http://rdf4j.org/doc/sesame-to-rdf4j-migration-guide/> for detailed 
instructions on how to upgrade.

RDF4J 2.0 requires a Java 8 Runtime Environment. However we are also providing a 
Java 7 backport. Released as RDF4J 1.0, this backport is equivalent to RDF4J 
2.0, but with several Java 8-specific features (anything involving lambdas, 
streams, or optionals) removed. We strongly recommend that unless you really 
cannot upgrade to a Java 8 RE, you use the RDF4J 2.0 release.
