Hi! We are committing a patch that implements a change in RDF format output, specifically how we output coordinates as WKT points.
If you do not use RDF format exports and specifically WKT coordinate literals there, this change has no effect for you. When we first implemented it, we chose to make it "Point(latitude longitude)". Unfortunately, turns out the standard way in WKT is Point(longitude latitude) and that's how most of the tools that implement WKT format understand it. In general, geo-data formats are split on this question, see http://www.macwright.org/lonlat/. But WKT is pretty universally in lon-lat camp, so we have to follow the established practice. As such, we are changing the WKT representation and we are bumping the format version (reported as schema:softwareVersion on RDF dumps/exports) from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2 so that the tools could adjust properly.
