We are pleased to announce the release of Apache Jena 3.5.0.


== Key features of the release

Introducing TDB2:
   http://jena.apache.org/documentation/tdb2/

*TDB2 is not compatible with TDB1*

Compared to TDB1:

* No size limits on transactions : bulk uploads into a live Fuseki
   can be 100's of millions of triples.

* Models and Graphs can be passed across transactions

* No queue of delayed updates, no transaction backlog problems.

* "Writer pays" - readers don't
   All work for update is done on the writer thread.

* Datatypes of numerics preserved; xsd:doubles supported.

TDB2 is subject to change.

We solicit any and all feedback (good and bad!) about TDB2 to help 
advance it to deployment-ready.


JENA-1390 : Add StmtIterator.toModel :

JENA-1392 : Add dynamic dataset support to SDB.

JENA-1395 : "--output RDF/XML" now prints using the basic block-oriented 
writer, which uses less memory.  Use "--formatted" (same as "--pretty") 
for pretty printed RDF/XML.

JENA-1398 :
Upgrade FOAF to add new spelling and deprecation of old for archaic FOAF 
properties

== Dependency Upgrades

No license changes.

Upgrade jsonld-java to 0.11
