-------------- DRAFT --------------
We are pleased to announce the release of Apache Jena 2.13.0. This is a
major release with several new features.
* Elephas, a framework for working with RDF on Apache Hadoop
* Fuseki2, with security a new UI for server use and administration
* An OSGi bundle
== Elephas
<text about Elephas>
-- Rob?
(if you are short of time - send me some bullet points of key user
benefits and other notes, or point to earlier text you are happy with
and I'll write some copy)
== Fuseki2
The release of Fuseki2 includes server security and an all new server
admin UI. It is available both as a standalone server, and packaged as
a WAR file.
http://jena.apache.org/documentation/fuseki2/
The security is provided by Apache Shiro. This can be configured to
meet specific deployment needs.
The new UI provides administration of a running server, including
managing datasets. At the moment, it provides the abilities to create
datasets, upload data, query the data and to backup the database on a
live server.
This interface is new and we are seeking contribution and feedback to
help shape it's evolution.
This incorporates component and contributions from YASR
http://yasgui.org/ (with thanks to Laurens Rietveld)
Fuseki v1 continues to be available. To ease transition, the Fuseki v2
standalone server can be run in the same way as Fuseki1 for existing
configurations.
== OSGi bundle
Each Apache Jena release now produces an OSGi bundle.
Thanks to Stian Soiland-Reyes for contributing this and working with
early users.
