Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Semantic MediaWiki 7,
the biggest SMW release in years.
Semantic MediaWiki is the OG extension that lets you store, query, and
visualize structured data in your MediaWiki.
Query performance has improved, and various maintenance jobs are notably
faster, in places by orders of magnitude. SMW is now easier to install by
following standard MediaWiki conventions. A plain wfLoadExtension(
'SemanticMediaWiki' ) is enough, with zero extra configuration. The
enableSemantics() call is no longer needed. Support for MediaWiki 1.45 and 1.46
was added, together with support for the latest PHP versions. Contributors made
24 notable enhancements and 32 bug fixes. Most SMW extensions have already been
updated.
If you already run SMW, upgrading is recommended.
Full details, a list of updated extensions, and upgrade instructions are here:

Special thanks go to alistair3149, who led this release, and to Paladox for
keeping the continuous integration infrastructure running. We are also grateful
to Brian Wolff, who surfaced numerous performance issues, and to Niklas
Laxström and jaideraf for testing.
