It's been a long time in production but now is the time to ship this
thing.  There are no binaries yet, in particular no RPMs for Redhat as I
do not have a current Redhat system available today.  Debian debs should
be availabletomorrow.

Next stop Rasqal.

Cheers!

		   Raptor RDF Parser Toolkit 1.4.8
		      http://librdf.org/raptor/

Raptor is a free software / Open Source C library that provides a set
of Resource Description Framework (RDF) parsers and serializers that
generate RDF triples by parsing syntaxes or serialize RDF triples
into a syntax.

It parses the following syntax into RDF triples:
  RDF/XML, N-Triples, Turtle, GRDDL and RSS tag soup for many
  RSSes, Atom 0.3 and Atom 1.0.
and serializes RDF triples into the following syntaxes:
  RDF/XML, RDF/XML abbreviated, RDF/XML XMP, N-Triples,
  Atom 1.0 and RSS 1.0.

Raptor is designed to work closely with the Redland RDF library but
is fully separate.  It is a mature, portable and high performance
library that works across many systems and architectures.  Raptor has
no known memory leaks.

The main changes in this version since the last release 2005-06-08 are:

 * RSS Tag Soup parser now reads Atom 1.0 and rewrites old Atom 0.3 terms.
 * Added a 'guess' parser that picks the parser to use based on protocol
   information such as HTTP Content-Type.
 * Created an enhanced API reference manual with gtk-doc.
 * Serializers to build can now be selected at configure time.
 * Parsers can now return the namespace prefix/URIs seen in parsing.
 * Turtle parser updated to version 2006-01-02
 * Fix for URI resolution bugs (win32 fix by John Barstow).
 * Several parser bug fixes for RDF/XML, RSS and GRDDL.
 * RDF/XML serializers and XML writer can write XML 1.0 or XML 1.1.
 * Added an alpha Atom 1.0 serializer.
 * Added an Adobe XMP (RDF/XML profile) serializer.
 * Internal source reorganisation.
