[dotNetRDF-develop] dotNetRDF 0.4.0 Beta Released

[Rob V. <rv...@do...>]

Hi all

The new release of dotNetRDF is now available.  The new version is 0.4.0 
and is our first official Beta release.  Below is a quick summary of new 
features, you can read more online at 
http://www.dotnetrdf.org/blogitem.asp?blogID=40 or see the full Change Log 
in the download package.

Key New Features/Improvements
- Much improved SPARQL 1.1 support for both Query and Update
- Graph Difference calculation
- Convert/Cast Graphs and SPARQL Result Sets into DataTables
- Support for simple N3 rules
- Some internal restructuring to improve performance and extensibility
- Various bug fixes for 0.3.1 issues

As a major release this does make some breaking API changes but mostly to 
things that were only used internally.  If you have any issues when 
upgrading please get in touch.

You may experience some minor differences in SPARQL evaluation due to fixes 
to both fixes/improvements in our engine and changes made to make our 
implementation meet the specification better where the official test suites 
indicated our implementation was incorrect.

We strongly recommend you upgrade to the latest version ASAP
