We are pleased to announce release of SuRF 1.0.0 Beta. This version
includes some significant changes and improvements in interface, thus
the major version number shift.

SuRF is an Object - RDF Mapper based on the popular rdflib python
library. It exposes RDF triple sets as sets of resources and
integrates them into the Object Oriented paradigm of Python in a
similar manner as the ActiveRDF does for Ruby.

New features in 1.0.0 Beta version:

    * Improved resource querying. Can mix any of these features
together:
        * filter resources by attribute values
        * filter resources using SPARQL filter expressions
        * limit, offset, order ascending/descending
        * specify graph/context where resources should be loaded from
and later saved to
        * eager-load resource attributes
    * Improved attribute querying. All the querying features available
at resource level are also available at attribute level.
    * Growing amount of documentation and examples. Still big gaps
there but the situation is improving.
