<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class="">Hi,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">OpenLink Software is pleased to announce the official release </div><div class="">of Virtuoso, Version 7.2.0. The new release includes:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Loosely-coupled SSL/TLS</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> SSL/TLS version and associated cipher selection is now configurable. </div><div class=""> Net effect, you can now explicitly disable the use of specific </div><div class=""> SSL/TLS versions (e.g., SSL/TLS 3.0, which is susceptible to the </div><div class=""> POODLE exploit).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Improved LDP Support</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Linked Data Platform protocol support has been enhanced, as an </div><div class=""> extension to existing WebDAV protocol support. Specific WebDAV </div><div class=""> folders can now be designated as LDP Containers, and once this </div><div class=""> designation has been made, LDP-aware user agents will be able to </div><div class=""> deductively interact with WebDAV Folders and the documents they </div><div class=""> contain, using entity relations embedded in both header and body </div><div class=""> of HTTP responses. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* WebDAV access to 3rd Party Storage Services </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> 3rd Party Storage Services (e.g., Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft </div><div class=""> OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Rackspace, etc.) are mountable and </div><div class=""> un-mountable using an asynchronous operation (in prior releases, </div><div class=""> this was a synchronous operation). Once mounted, these 3rd party </div><div class=""> folders function like any other WebDAV resource. This kind of </div><div class=""> WebDAV collection (a "Dynamic Extension Resource Type" or "DET" </div><div class=""> for short) can also be designated as an LDP Container, making </div><div class=""> Virtuoso WebDAV a powerful LDP proxy mechanism for storage </div><div class=""> services that do not currently support LDP.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* File System Hosted Virtual Tables</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Enables Virtuoso instances to attach to CSV documents hosted by </div><div class=""> the File System. Once attached, VIEWs of these documents can be </div><div class=""> represented as SQL Relational Tables (by default) and/or RDF </div><div class=""> Property/Predicate graphs (via RDF Views functionality).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Loosely-Coupled Sponger Middleware Services</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Built-in RDF document transformation middleware is now loosely-</div><div class=""> coupled to its host Virtuoso database server instance. As a result, </div><div class=""> you can now use the POST method to request asynchronous data </div><div class=""> transformation services from a Sponger instance, with the </div><div class=""> transformed data returned as part of an HTTP response payload. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Built-in Nanotation Processor</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Enables automatic transformation of TURTLE statements embedded in </div><div class=""> Email Messages, Online Discussion Posts, Tweets, Social Media Posts </div><div class=""> (Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+), HTML Body, and Plain Text documents </div><div class=""> into RDF-based Linked Open Data, which is then stored in the host </div><div class=""> Virtuoso instance. You now have the freedom, power, and flexibility </div><div class=""> to create data wherever and whenever -- as long as the target </div><div class=""> destination in a content input control that supports plain/text.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* SPARQL-FED Remote Service Evaluation</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Adds SPARQL endpoint deduction capability to SPARQL-FED. Usage </div><div class=""> requires granting a new SPARQL_LOAD_SERVICE_DATA role to SPARQL </div><div class=""> user account. Once granted, Virtuoso makes a best-attempt to </div><div class=""> determine the capabilities of a SPARQL endpoint by looking up </div><div class=""> its SPARQL Service Description Document, if available, and/or </div><div class=""> executing a series of SPARQL test queries (e.g., testing whether </div><div class=""> SPARQL Query results are returned in all formats outlined by the </div><div class=""> W3C SPARQL spec). </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">More details of the additions, fixes, and other changes in this </div><div class="">update of both Open Source and Commercial Editions, may be found </div><div class="">here --</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> <<a href="http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VOSNews" class="">http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VOSNews</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Additional Information: </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Virtuoso Open Source </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> - Development Branch -- </div><div class=""> <<a href="https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/tree/develop/7" class="">https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/tree/develop/7</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> - Stable Branch -- </div><div class=""> <<a href="https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/tree/stable/7" class="">https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/tree/stable/7</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Virtuoso Commercial Edition --</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> - Home Page --</div><div class=""> <<a href="http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/" class="">http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> - Download Page --</div><div class=""> <<a href="http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/download/" class="">http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/download/</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
