Major changes to the RDFLib SPARQL implementation have been commited
in order to get through 65% [1] of the DAWG test suite (see link below
for tests that are still failing).  The changelog below details some
of the major modifications:

- More robust support for OPTIONAL semantics
- SPARQL Nodes can now be pickled (neccessary for parallel evaluation of SPARQL)
- Graceful failure of type errors in FILTER expressions
- Fixed retrieval of bindings from UNION evaluations
- Fix for LIMIT 0
- Added a more informative __repr__ to graph pattern objects
- BGP's now take a query prolog so they can calculate qnames
- Addes support for canonical representations of terms (qnames)
- Fixed SPARQL result serialization to handle ASK as well as other
serialization fixes
- Better support for pickling / unpickling SPARQL graphs
- Fixes to datatype FILTER expression (properly raises TypeErrors)
- Fix to calculation of EBV for terms
- SPARQL Algebra implementation fixes (major)
- Added support for extension functions

## Extension FILTER functions ##

These can now be passed on to the SPARQL engine via the
extensionFunctions argument
to the Graph.query method which is a mapping from URIs to user-defined
functions (see
rdflib.sparql.sparqlOperators for examples)

- Fixed Join/LeftJoin evaluation mechanism so it doesn't walk
expansion tree redundantly
- Updates to match latest version of EBNF and resulting parsed SPARQL expression
- Fixed use of list notation
