Raptor RDF Syntax Library

This beta release removed all deprecated functions and typedefs. All functions were renamed to a standard format. URIs are interned with no swappable implementation. Statements now support triples and quads. The world object owns shared logging, ID generation, and describing syntaxes. The GRDDL parser now saves shared libxslt state. Serializers were added for HTML and N-Quads, and parsers were added for JSON/RDF and JSON/Triples. An AVL-Tree memory API was added. Several reported issues were fixed and substantial internal improvements were made.

RDFa parser buffer management problems were fixed. The Turtle parser and serializer now use QNames correctly as required by the specification. The RDF/XML parser now resets correctly to detect duplicate rdf:IDs. A few other minor bug and build fixes were made.

The Turtle syntax serializing performance was improved. The librdfa RDFa parser was updated to fix empty datatype, xml:lang, and 1-char prefixes bugs. A crash when the GRDDL parser reported errors was fixed. Large file support for 32-bit systems was enabled. Several other resilience, minor portability, and bug fixes were made.

Many improvements to the RSS tag soup (RSS and Atom) parser and the RSS 1.0 and Atom serializers were made. Several fixes and improvements were made to the N-Triples, RDFa and RDF/XML parsers, and the Turtle serializer. The use and configuration of static libxml functions was improved for better compatibility. Several Win32 portability fixes were made. Many other fixes, resilience improvements, and internal
changes were made.

An RDFa parser was added using an embedded version of librdfa by Manu Sporny of Digital Bazaar. An Atom 1.0 (RFC 4287) serializer with several output parameters was added. The RSS 1.0 serializer functionality was improved and made more resilient. Several new API methods were added for qname, serializer, sequence, and XML writer classes. Many other fixes and resilience improvements were made.
