Built and inspected the release on Mac OS X
NB - Everything built cleanly first time so kudos to Osma and Andy for
continuing to track down some of the test instabilities we’ve seen in past
builds, great work both 😊

==== In this release
Issues in this release:
https://s.apache.org/jena-5.4.0-issues
== RDF 1.2
Jena 5.4.0 introduces a preview of RDF 1.2 support. This work is
*experimental* and subject to change. It will track the work of the
RDF-Star Working Group.
Users of the work of the RDF-star Community Group will be impacted.
This is an opportunity to provide feedback on the work of the W3C
working group.
For more information, see
https://lists.apache.org/thread/5k8cr91h1okhh75g0gx71dyhwt0fobfc
== New artifact
Jena 5.4.0 introduces a new module jena-langtag for language tag parsing
in compliance with RFC 5646. Language tag validation is strengthened.
When parsing, language tag violations are still treated as warnings.
==== Contributions
@Ostrzyciel has contributed several test cases for initialization
and also cleaning up of Jena's use of Apache Xerces-derived code for RDF
datatypes:
@OyvindLGjesdal has contributed improvement to the jena-text build for
java21 and also in fixing the unstable build on github actions.
@Aklakan has contributed support for timeouts in SPARQL Updates,
provided fixes for closing execution iterators, OpAsQuery, and for
NodeFmtLib.

-------------------
Checking:
+ are the GPG signatures fine?
+ are the checksums correct?
+ is there a source archive?
+ can the source archive be built?
(NB This requires a "mvn install" first time)
+ is there a correct LICENSE and NOTICE file in each artifact
(both source and binary artifacts)?
+ does the NOTICE file contain all necessary attributions?
+ have any licenses of dependencies changed due to upgrades?
if so have LICENSE and NOTICE been upgraded appropriately?
+ does the tag/commit in the SCM contain reproducible sources?
