This is the core development repository for BrightstarDB.
BrightstarDB 1.14.0-alpha.3
BrightstarDB 1.14.0-alpha.2
BrightstarDB 1.14.0-alpha.1
This release has been made to update the installer which has been reported as being broken on Windows 10 machines. Developers using NuGet can continue to use the 1.13.3 version of the packages available there.
This is the first "official" BrightstarDB release under the MIT open source license. The code base has been reworked to replace / remove the use of third-party closed-source tools and has been updated to use a patched version of dotNetRDF 1.0 that includes the most recent updates for SPARQL 1.1 and Turtle.
We have also extended the core RDF API to support targeting a specific graph with an update or query operation and made a change to the core profiling code to disable it by default, leading to improved performance on long-running operations.
There is no change to the store format used in previous releases and although code may need recompiling due to some API changes, existing stores should be unaffected.
This update includes some bug fixes; major performance enhancements to RDF import / indexing; and some new features.
The new features are:
The ability to create a snapshot copy of a store. The snapshot can be created from any previous commit point of the store, so you can take a copy of a store as it existed at some previous point in time.
Support for counting and reporting basic store statistics. Statistics can be updated through the Admin API, or the server can also be optionally configured to maintain statistics on stores automatically.
This is a hotfix release for BrightstarDB 1.4. It fixes an issue with running the WCF client in a .NET 4.0 application.
This is a significant new release of BrightstarDB. The most important changes are:
The BrightstarDB WCF service has been removed and replaced with a RESTful service implemented using the Nancy framework. The new service still supports running as a Windows Service or under IIS but also supports several other configurations.
As a result of the removal of WCF, the http, namedpipe and tcp conntection types are no longer supported in BrightstarDB connection strings. Instead a connection type of 'rest' is used to connect.
A Mono build has been added.
BrightstarDB's higher-level APIs now support connecting to other RDF stores. This means that you can use our Entity Framework and LINQ support to query other RDF stores as well as any SPARQL 1.1 endpoint that supports SPARQL 1.1 Query and SPARQL 1.1 Update.
This release fixes a couple of bugs found in the 1.5 release and adds the folowing new features:
Installer now supports integrating into VS2013 Professional and above.
SPARQL queries can now specify the serialization format for both SPARQL results sets and RDF graphs generated by the query processor.
This is a minor bug-fix release for BrightstarDB. It is a recommended upgrade for all users.
FIX: Fixed a regression bug in the SPARQL query template for the browser interface to the BrightstarDB server.
FIX: Added missing sizing parameters to the SPARQL results text box in the browser interface.
FIX: Fixed browser interface for SPARQL queries to not report an error when the form is initially loaded.
NEW: Added some documentation for features added in previous releases.
