Sesame 0.8 Storage, Inferencing and Querying Middleware for the Semantic Web --------------------------------------------------------------------- We are proud to announce release 0.8 of Sesame. This release updates Sesame to the latest round of W3C RDF spec revisions (including support for literal datatypes and list-style containers), features performance improvements and bugfixes, a faster RDF parser and a new graphic configuration tool. For an overview of the major changes and bug fixes since the previous version, see the Release Notes below.

See doc/parser.txt for details. - "Configure Sesame!" graphical user interface for Sesame server configuration, initial release. See doc/configure.txt for details. - new RDBMS Sail implementation: a rewrite of the generic SQL92Sail with much clearer code, better performance, support for truth maintenance and support for datatypes. This new Sail will eventually replace the SQL92Sail. See doc/rdbms-sail.txt for usage instructions and other details. - Bugfix: RQL engine: locked variables were unset when the subject- or predicate variable contained an object that was not of type Resource. The result of this was that comparisons with literal values in the subject of statements seemed to be ignored in queries. - Bugfix: system.conf.example now a valid xml document. - Bugfix: language tags of literals are now case-insensitive.
