Sesame 2.7.14
=============

Sesame 2.7.14 is a maintenance release, addressing 23 issues.

A major new improvement in Sesame 2.7.14 is a new SPARQL editor in the Sesame
Workbench, based on YASQE (http://yasqe.yasgui.org/), which supports a.o.
syntax highlighting and namespace autocomplete. Many thanks to Laurens
Rietveld (from the Data2Semantics and COMMIT project) for his work on integrating 
this into the Workbench!

Apart from this, a substantial amount of bugs have been fixed in various areas
of the framework, including the SPARQL engine, transaction handling, and
parsing. 

See the Sesame JIRA Changelog for a complete listing of all fixed issues:

The user documentation and API Javadoc can be also found here.

We would welcome any feedback you might have, you can use the Sesame Users
Google Group or our JIRA issue tracker for this purpose.
