Hi all, we are happy to announce the release of Semantic MediaWiki 1.4.2, together with a fitting Semantic Result Formats 1.4.2. The new version includes a number of changes such as some significant performance improvements, initial PostgreSQL support, and a new JSON data export. Also, the query formats vCard and iCalendar have been moved to Semantic Result Formats 1.4.2, so it is wise to update both extensions at the same time. Besides this minor detail, upgrade is very easy, see [1]. For more information on SMW 1.4.2 changes see [2]. As usual, an SVN release tag was created at [3]. Following our somewhat confusing versioning scheme, the current SVN development code is now labelled "1.5e-SVN" which is essentially the same as 1.4.2, though this will change with future commits. Big thanks to all contributors who have specifically helped to improve this release, especially to Jie Bao, Marcel Gsteiger (PostgreSQL), Fabian Howahl (JSON, Exhibit), Dmitri Khoroshev (Russian date debugging), and Joel Natividad (Ploticus format in SRF). More people could be named, I stop here since this is only a minor release ;-) See [4] for a more complete list. Thanks also to all users who have provided detailed problem descriptions and bug reports. If yours was not addressed yet, make sure that it is listed on Bugzilla for us to see.

No. The Foundation plans to conduct a "security assessment" which will include a code review. I hope that this effort leads to concrete todos for us. -- Markus Krötzsch Semantic MediaWiki http://semantic-mediawiki.org http://korrekt.org ma...@se... |
