                   Raptor RDF Parser Library 1.4.20
                      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
both generate RDF triples by parsing syntaxes and serialize RDF
triples into a syntax.  It is a mature, portable and high performance
library that works across many systems and architectures.

It parses the following syntax into RDF triples:
  RDF/XML, N-Triples, TRiG, Turtle, GRDDL (including microformats
  hCard and hCal) and RSS tag soup for 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, RSS 1.0, Graphviz DOT, Turtle and JSON.

          *** WARNING: FUTURE ABI and API CHANGES ***
  Releases of the raptor 1.4.x series will include bug fixes only and no
  new features. New development has moved to raptor 2 where a planned
  ABI and API break will happen. There may be preview releases of
  raptor 2 with 1.9.x numbering.

The main changes in this version since the last release 2009-07-20 are:
  * Turtle serializing performance improvement by Chris Cannam
  * librdfa RDFa parser updates to fix empty datatype, xml:lang and
    1-char prefixes by Manu Sporny
  * Fix a crash when the GRDDL parser reported errors
  * Enable large file support for 32-bit systems
  * Several resilience improvements by Lauri Aalto
  * Other minor portability and bug fixes
  * Fixed reported issues: 0000306 0000307 0000310 and 0000312.

For full details of the changes see the Raptor 1.4.20 release notes at
  http://librdf.org/raptor/RELEASE.html#rel1_4_20

Binary deb packages for Debian unstable will be made available
later via the standard debian archive and download.librdf.org.

Sources are also available from the Redland SourceForge mirror site
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/librdf/ although the site is such
a usability disaster that I'm not likely to use it anymore.

The http://librdf.org/ site lets you browse and check out the latest
version of the sources in Subversion and use Raptor in various demos
as part of Redland such as Triplr http://triplr.org/
