[redland] ANNOUNCEMENT: Redland RDF Application Framework 0.9.7

[Dave Beckett]

	       Redland RDF Application Framework 0.9.7
		http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/

Redland 0.9.7 has been released and the main changes are:

* Changed Perl Model API - renamed get_* method names, added
  deprecated warnings for old names.
* Updated Repat to 2000-12-24 version (plus some patches).
* Added Perl Plain Old Documentation (POD).
* Fixed subtle Perl interface object reference bugs.
* Changed Model API - add_statement now does not own the added statement
* Added to Model API - get_source, get_arc, get_target return one
  matching librdf_node, not a list of them like get_sources etc. do
  via librdf_iterator.
* Added UTF-8 support for converting between UTF-8 and ISO Latin-1.

The 'subtle' bugs above were the various core dumps and crashes
reported here and privately.  The reported examples now work fine.

The Perl POD documentation (much requested here) is at
http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/docs/pod/

Upcoming things that I'm working on include Redland's RDF/XML parser
which is 70-80% finished and has good and efficient integration with
Redland and hooks for extensions.  I also plan to extend the model
API to add arcs_in, arcs_out methods and consider container support.
