Maintenance Release of Virtuoso 8

[Ted Thibodeau Jr]

Hello --

We are pleased to announce the latest update of Virtuoso, our
modern multi-model relational database management and conceptual
data virtualization platform.

For many years, Virtuoso has provided a secure, cross-platform,
high-performance, massively-scalable, and cost-effective solution
for cognitive data management, data integration, and deployment
of public or private semantic webs of linked data (i.e., conceptual
entity relationship graphs over disparate data sources constructed
from hyperlinks).

Maintenance Release 8.1, focused primarily on bug fixes and
secondarily on interface tweaks to aid better understanding of
existing functionality, builds on Virtuoso 8.0’s key innovations
aimed at the natural fusion of artificial intelligence with data
diversity, with particular focus on Digital Transformation to
leverage Data Analytics, Data Virtualization, Data Flow, and
Sophisticated Data Security.

= Bug Fixes in Virtuoso 8.1 =

== Core Engine ==

* Memory optimization resulting in significant reduction in
memory use without compromising performance

* A number of SPARQL compiler fixes for queries that had been
leading to errors, crashes, and incorrect results

* Restriction of RDF Graph replication publications graphs,
i.e., no inclusion of private graphs

== Administration (via Conductor) ==

* Wizard generation of R2RML mappings that use URI templates
consistent with generated URL rewrite rules for Linked Data
deployment

== Client Connectivity ==

* JDBC Driver fix for insertion of wide (Korean) character in
SPARQL queries

= Interface Tweaks in Virtuoso 8.1 =

* RDF View and Mapping lists are part of the default SPARQL
Query Services endpoint UI

* Macro Library lists exposing Custom Inference Rules as part
are partof the default SPARQL Query Services endpoint UI

* Dynamic change-sensitive documents that also function as
virtual documents in Virtuoso’s WebDAV-based file system
may be created from SPARQL Queries

* Clarified support for mounting third-party Linked Data
Platform (LDP) folders which may then be made available
to WebDAV and HTTP clients interacting with Virtuoso’s
HTTP Server


= Availability =

The shrink-wrapped Enterprise Edition of Virtuoso 8.1 is available
now for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Builds for other Unix-like OS
are available on request.
