The 4.5.0 release was 2022-05-01 so end July, early August would be the
next release. It would be good to release so that substantial upcoming
features integrate at the beginning of a cycle.
== In this release:
JENA-2333 : A change to sorting un-alike language tags.
https://lists.apache.org/thread/o9j1pd8psm3okc9kyc7ttc3wr460oxkd
This is a fix - Java sort can throw IllegalArgumentException if it
detects sorting problems. It is not a guarantee - most time, the bad
comparator just causes silent variations of sort order.

There are several GeoSPARQL issues outstanding -

== GeoSPARQL
GeoSPARQL is sufficiently complicated that the direction of the
subsystem and implications of some these changes need more consideration
from GeoSPARQL users and contributors.
== Beyond 4.6.0
One reason to do 4.6.0 now is to create a released base for significant
new work coming up:
A new in-memory graph (amongst other things, better use of memory and a
lot more maintainable).
A new subsystem for SERVICE caching and processing.
