3.17.0 was 2020-12-01
so the usual timescale is end Feb - end March.
Personally, I'd rather let it slip this time if there are any stability
issues. That said, we've had a ticket reporting one bug due to clearup
so some downstream is at least running with the latest code. (The
version number in GIT and in JIRA isn't updated yet.)
Jena4:
* Java11 [done]
the users@ feedback was this is enough to merit "jena4".
* Rename default branch as "main"
* Retire SDB
* Retire jena-text-es
* Deprecation cleanup [ongoing...]
* IRIx abstraction
(should this become package: org.apache.jena.iri?
and rename the old one?)
This may tighten up some illegal use of URIs (%XX -
where XX is not hex).
* jena-core: rename RDFReader as RDFReaderI
and RDFWriter a RDFWriterI to avoid name clashes
* Upgrades (except jetty 10/11 - wait until our Java11 move has gone OK)
jena-elephas does not build on Java11.
What else, especially things that are changes?
As ever - contributions welcome!
