Change Log

ENHANCEMENT: SPARQL query implementation now features partial query caching and query execution plan caching for significant performance improvements when processing repeated queries.

ENHANCEMENT: Major performance improvements for XTM import.

ENHANCEMENT: It is no longer necessary to specify the syntax of the uploaded data to the import job processor. The processor will probe the received data to determine the syntax of the content. As a result, the -Xtm20 flag has been removed from the Import-TopicMap cmdlet.

ENHANCEMENT: TMSPARQL queries now support the DISTINCT keyword.

BUGFIX: Fixed an issue with round-tripping XTM files through a Web3 export/import cycle

BUGFIX: Fixed the deletion of associations to ensure that all child roles are deleted from the database.

BUGFIX: Fixed rendering of RDF/XML topic representation when an item has a subject identifier that uses a fragment identifier.

BUGFIX: Fixed an issue with the License Manager that resulted in the registration form not displaying on some machines.

BUGFIX: Fixed problem with processing SPARQL queries with literal strings that contain special characters escaped by a backslash.
