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

Hi All

We're pleased to announce the availability of dotNetRDF 0.7.2 Beta [1] and
the dotNetRDF Toolkit 0.6.2 Beta [2]

Highlights of this release:

* Bug Fixes
> * As ever there are a variety of bug fixes for both minor and serious bugs in
> this release, thanks to everyone in the community who reported or helped to
> fix bugs.
* Core API
> * We've changed the internal storage of triples to a new data structure which
> should boost performance a little and slightly reduce memory usage though
> effects may differ depending on your data. We've also continued the
> deprecation and removal of defunct code.
* Dependencies
> * We've updated our 3rd party dependencies to their latest versions where
> possible, our NuGet packages are now using NuGet dependencies rather than
> shipping DLLs where possible.
* Configuration API
> * The Configuration API has received a number of fixes and improvements,
> including more auto-configuration capabilities and helper methods for loading
> in Configuration Graphs.
* Parsing
> * Improves support for Turtle 1.1 to be near 100% compliant
* SPARQL
> * SPARQL 1.1 support has been updated to be near 100% compliant with the
> latest specification (98-99% compliant).
> * We've also introduced some new abstractions into the SPARQL engine to allow
> for future extensions, this release is the first to support using the + and -
> operators for date time arithmetic.
* Storage
> * IStorageServer IStorageServer implementations are now separate classes, the
> parent server of a IStorageProvider may be obtained (where available) from the
> new ParentServer property.
* Source Code
> * In case you haven't noticed we've moved to Mercurial for source control, you
> can now find our latest sources in our Mercurial Repository ­
> http://bitbucket.org/dotnetrdf/dotnetrdf
As always thanks to everyone who helped with this release, particularly to
those in the community who took the time to help report and fix bugs
