<h1>Rasqal RDF Query Library - Release Notes</h1>
<h2 id="rel0_9_30"><a name="rel0_9_30">Rasqal 0.9.30 changes</a></h2>
<p>Not yet released.
</p>
<p>Removed RDQL support as promised. So long and thanks for all the
queries. Use SPARQL instead.
</p>
<p>Issues Fixed:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=506">0000506</a>: configure.ac has bash -specific (non-POSIX) == syntax</li>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=523">0000523</a>: mpfr dependency</li>
</ul>
<h3>Decimal class changes</h3>
<p><code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_is_zero()</code> now uses <code>fabs()</code>
and an epsilon approach for C99 decimal mode.</p>
<p>Make <code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_compare()</code> work for C99
decimal mode.</p>
<p><code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_compare()</code> and
<code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_equals()</code> use Knuth's approximate
equality as decribed below.
</p>
<h3>Literal class changes</h3>
<p>Return rdf term type string from
<code>rasqal_literal_get_rdf_term_type()</code> for integer subtypes
(<code>RASQAL_LITERAL_INTEGER_SUBTYPE</code>).
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=519">Issue #0000519</a>
(Redland librdf)</p>
<p><code>rasqal_literal_to_result_term()</code> now returns NULL on
an alloc failure.</p>
<p><code>rasqal_new_floating_literal()</code> added, deprecating
<code>rasqal_new_float_literal()</code> and takes the float type
as an argument.
</p>
<h3>Query engine changes</h3>
<p>Fix some wrong data size allocs found by clang in Project
rowsource.</p>
<p>Take more care in promoting literals to float and exceeding the
range; turn them into doubles if that happens.</p>
<p>Floating and double comparisons and equality use a proper epsilon
check using Knuth's approximate comparison approach, rather than =.
Affects
<code>rasqal_literal_as_boolean()</code>,
<code>rasqal_literal_equals()</code>,
<code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_compare()</code>,
<code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_equals()</code>
and other internal methods.
</p>
<h3>Query language changes</h3>
<p>Updated the SPARQL syntax to support <code>integer^^uri-ref</code>.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=519">Issue #0000519</a> (Redland librdf)
</p>
<p>Removed RDQL support as promised. So long and thanks for all the queries.
Use SPARQL instead.
</p>
<h3>Portability changes</h3>
<p>Test for <code>mpfr_snprintf()</code> specifically which appeared
in MPFR 2.4.0.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=523">Issue #0000523</a>
</p>
<p>The Bison minimum version is now 2.0 (from 2004-12-25) until we
hear otherwise.</p>
<p>Use <code>RASQAL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED</code> to flag out deprecated
implementation code. Call gtkdoc-scan with the deprecated guard.
</p>
<p>Use <code>#if defined(RASQAL_DEBUG)</code> to help
portability when it's not defined.</p>
<p>Added good and bad cast macros for checking of type truncation.
Helped remove compiler warnings.</p>
<h3>Configuration changes</h3>
<p>Make <code>configure</code> handle Apple
<code>/usr/bin/flex</code> which adds an extra field so awk
<code>$NF</code> did not work.</p>
<p><code>configure</code> now supports finding UUID support inside
libc for OSX.
</p>
<p>Fix some <code>configure</code> portability with non-POSIX bash
syntax and adding some -W flags to autotool calls.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=506">Issue #0000506</a>
</p>
<p>Updated <code>autogen.sh</code> to abort run if a configuring
program fails, generate NEWS with old timestamp if missing so
automake can run and some small doc and message updates.</p>
<h2 id="rel0_9_29"><a name="rel0_9_29">Rasqal 0.9.29 changes</a></h2>
<p>Rasqal fully supports SPARQL 1.0 from this release. All the
approved tests pass.</p>
<p>Requires <a href="http://librdf.org/raptor/">Raptor</a> 2.0.7 or newer.</p>
<p>RDQL query language support will be removed in the next
release. SPARQL has been available for 4 years and is fully
supported.</p>
<p>Add support for SPARQL 1.1 draft <code>UUID()</code> and
<code>STRUUID()</code>.</p>
<p>Issues Fixed:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=493">0000493</a>: Offset in sub-select results in no rows at all.</li>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=494">0000494</a>: Temp buffer to small.</li>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=504">0000504</a>: rasqal_regex_replace() is not public</li>
</ul>
<h3>Datatype changes</h3>
<p>Added a new datatype
<code>rasqal_xsd_date</code> class for XSD with literal enum
<code>RASQAL_LITERAL_DATE</code>, constructor
<code>rasqal_new_xsd_date()</code>, destructor
<code>rasqal_free_xsd_datetime()</code> and core methods
<code>rasqal_xsd_date_to_counted_string()</code>,
<code>rasqal_xsd_date_to_string()</code>
<code>rasqal_xsd_date_equals()</code> (returning incomparible) and
<code>rasqal_xsd_date_compare()</code>.
</p>
<p>The <code>rasqal_xsd_datetime</code> and new date class above both
get the same new fields for comparing datetimes and dates:
<code>time_on_timeline</code> and <code>have_tz</code> to record the
three timezone possibilities: none ('N'), zulu ('Z') or numeric
('Y'). A "time on timeline" value is calculated on construction
and the field values are not normalized.
</p>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_xsd_datetime_equals2</code> deprecating
<code>rasqal_xsd_datetime_equals</code> and returning and
incomparible flag to caller.
</p>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_xsd_datetime_compare2()</code> deprecating
<code>rasqal_xsd_datetime_compare()</code> and returning the
incomparible state between datetimes. The new
<code>rasqal_xsd_date_compare()</code> uses this signature.
</p>
<p>Added new <code>rasqal_new_xsd_datetime_from_xsd_date()</code>
datetime constructor to build a datetime from a date.</p>
<p>Correct the buffer size in
<code>rasqal_xsd_datetime_get_seconds_as_decimal()</code>
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=494">Issue #0000494</a>
</p>
<h3>Graph pattern class changes</h3>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_query_graph_pattern_visit2()</code> deprecating
<code>rasqal_query_graph_pattern_visit()</code>
</p>
<h3>Literal class changes</h3>
<p>Enum <code>rasqal_op</code> gains new tokens
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_UUID</code> and <code>RASQAL_EXPR_STRUUID</code>
for the new SPARQL 1.1 draft <code>UUID()</code> and
<code>STRUUID</code> built-in functions.</p>
<p><code>rasqal_literal_divide()</code> result is now a decimal if
both args are integer - rule from XPath F&O;
</p>
<p>Added support for the XSD:Date datatype with a new
<code>rasqal_literal_type</code> enum value
<code>RASQAL_LITERAL_DATE</code>. Updated the literal code including
the constructor <code>rasqal_new_numeric_literal()</code> to
auto-convert to the internal format as well as the core literal
methods.
</p>
<h3>Query engine changes</h3>
<p>The rules for in-scope variables for <code>FILTER</code> were
corrected to match the SPARQL 1.0 semantics. This fixed the last
remaining failure Rasqal had for the SPARQL 1.0 approved test cases.
</p>
<p><code>DISTINCT</code> now
compares using RDF term comparison not value comparison so now "" is
distinct from ""^^xsd:string. This has a consquence of making RDQL
test B-01 as failing but this is no loss. Relatedly, RDQL support
will be removed in the next release.
</p>
<p>Handle errors found in aggregation expressions following SPARQL
standard.</p>
<p>Fix blank node generation when made in a <code>CONSTRUCT</code> to
match SPARQL standard.
</p>
<p>Make limit and offset check work properly in a subquery.
Fixes
<a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=493">Issue #0000493</a>
</p>
<p>Added support for executing SPARQL 1.1 draft <code>UUID()</code>
and <code>STRUUID</code> using either libuuid or internal random API
that backs executing <code>RAND()</code>.
</p>
<h3>Resilience changes</h3>
<p>Ran entire SPARQL 1.0 and 1.1 test suite through Rasqal and
valgrind to check for reference loss and memory leaks. Fixed several
issues in newer code.</p>
<p>Fixed several code issues with unused values found by clang. Or
changed code that was correct to make clang moan less.</p>
<p>Add code marking of good and bad type casts using macros
<code>RASQAL_GOOD_CAST</code> and <code>RASQAL_BAD_CAST</code>
macros.</p>
<h3>Other changes</h3>
<p>The <code>configure</code> test for libgcrypt as a digest backend
now works; it really didn't before now. Added option
<code>--with-libgcrypt-config=PATH</code> to allow selecting the path
to the <code>libgcrypt-config</code>. mhash remains the preferred
hash digest library as it provides more digests and is more commonly
available.
</p>
<p><code>configure</code> now looks for libuuid with
<code>pkg-config</code> to back the SPARQL 1.1 UUID generation
support. The UUID backend can be selected with new configure
option <code>--uuid-library=NAME</code></p>
<p>Made <code>rasqal_regex_replace()</code> public with same
signature as the internal API.
Fixes
<a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=504">Issue #0000504</a>
</p>
<p>The <code>tests/sparql/check-sparql</code> test runner was updated
to understand more of the manifest vocabulary.
</p>
<p>Building from GIT now requires automake 1.11.2+ for the
<code>-Wextra-portability</code> option.
</p>
<p>Added <code>-d none</code> to <code>roqet(1)</code> arguments so
it is possible disable debug output on the command line (default).
</p>
<h2 id="rel0_9_28"><a name="rel0_9_28">Rasqal 0.9.28 changes</a></h2>
<p>Issues Fixed:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=466">0000466</a>: zero size calloc does not return object (src/rasqal_row.c)</li>

<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=474">0000474</a>: roqet flags listed in help, but not recognised</li>
</ul>
<h3>SPARQL changes</h3>
<p>The language name '<code>sparql</code>' is now SPARQL 1.1
</p>
<p>Added support for SPARQL 1.1 draft string functions
<code>STRBEFORE()</code>, <code>STRAFTER()</code>
and <code>REPLACE()</code>.
</p>
<h3>Query engine changes</h3>
<p>Add parsing and evaluation support for SPARQL 1.1 draft STRBEFORE
(2 args), STRAFTER (2 args) and REPLACE (3 or 4 args). The
evaluation of REPLACE currently fully works for PCRE regex with
Unicode and works for POSIX regex without Unicode.</p>
<p>Clear <code>errno</code> before calling <code>strtol()</code> and
checking the result. This caused issues when used in threaded
applications, even though Rasqal is not thread-safe.
</p>
<p>The (psuedo) random number generation now can use a variety of
library random routines, defaulting to a new internal
<a href="https://github.com/dajobe/libmtwist">Mersenne Twister implementation - libmtwist</a>.
The choice of PRNG can be made with
<code>configure --with-random-approach=ALGO</code> to pick from
<code>mtwist</code> (the default), <code>gmp</code> (when GMP is
available and used for decimals), <code>random_r()</code>,
<code>rand_r()</code> then the portable but not so safe:
<code>random()</code> and <code>rand()</code>.
</p>
<h3>Expression class changes</h3>
<p>Enum <code>rasqal_op</code> gains new tokens
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_STRBEFORE</code>,
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_STRAFTER</code> and
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_REPLACE</code> for the new SPARQL 1.1 string expressions.
<code>STRBEFORE()</code>, <code>STRAFTER()</code>
and <code>REPLACE()</code> respectively.
</p>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_new_4op_expression()</code> to construct 3/4-arg
expressions.
</p>
<h3>Query format and query result format changes</h3>
<p>Added the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/ns/formats/">W3C Format URIs</a>
to the JSON, XML, CSV and TSV SPARQL result formats. (Nicholas J Humfrey)
</p>
<p>Corrected the SPARQL query output for LIMIT and OFFSET</p>
<p>Handle <code><literal></literal></code> as
empty literal when reading in XML query results.</p>
<h3>Other changes</h3>
<p>Use a more comprehensive <code>configure</code> build and run test
for <code>ceil()</code>, <code>floor()</code> and
<code>round()</code> to prevent GCC optimizing it away and getting
the wrong answer when checking whether to link with -lm
</p>
<p>Removed the obsolete -w option from the <code>roqet --help</code>
message which was removed from code some time ago.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=474">Issue 0000474</a>.
</p>
<p>Prevent a gcc 4K stack size warning in a few tests.
</p>
<p>Reorganized the regex code to a new regex module, adding the new
function <code>rasqal_regex_replace()</code> for regex search and
replace (all) backing SPARQL 1.1 <code>REPLACE()</code></p>
<p>Several internal fixes for compiling with RASQAL_DEBUG > 1
(Lauri Aalto)

</p>
<p>Remove several internal uses of <code>snprintf()</code> for simple
integer formatting.
</p>
<p>The check-sparql utility used during 'make check' now sets the
DIFF envariable for check tests to allow use off GNU Diff.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=467">Issue #0000467</a>
(Peter O'Gorman / pogma)
</p>
<p>Code style changes for calling <code>calloc()</code>.</p>
<p>Do not <code>calloc()</code> with 0 count for a result row - not portable.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=466">Issue #0000466</a>
(Peter O'Gorman / pogma)
</p>
<p>The <code>check_query</code> utility (which is still not complete)
can now handle comparing query results when sorting is involved.
</p>
<h2 id="rel0_9_27"><a name="rel0_9_27">Rasqal 0.9.27 changes</a></h2>
<p>Issues Fixed:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=127">0000127</a>: <code>UNION</code> graph pattern support in query engine</li>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=423">0000423</a>: SPARQL <code>UNION</code> with shared variables fails</li>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=434">0000434</a>: <code>OPTIONAL</code> and named graphs don't mix</li>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=454">0000454</a>: xsd:nonNegativeInteger is parsed as <code>RASQAL_LITERAL_QNAME</code> instead of <code>RASQAL_LITERAL_[INTEGER|UDT|INTEGER_SUBTYPE]</code></li>
<li><a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=459">0000459</a>: Making a query that binds to a variable with the same name as a bnode fails</li>
</ul>
<h3>SPARQL changes</h3>
<p>The parser now supports the optional <code>SILENT</code> keyword
for <code>SERVICE</code>.</p>
<p>The parser now supports the <code>CONSTRUCT WHERE</code>
abbreviation, expanding the WHERE triples into a triple template
with the same triples.
</p>
<h3>Query engine changes</h3>
<p>sub-<code>SELECT</code>s are now supported including those that
contain sorting, grouping, limiting and offset as well as projection.
</p>
<p><code>CONSTRUCT</code> works when working over a query with
optionals. It previously stopped returning results at the first unbound
variable value.</p>
<p><code>OPTIONAL</code>, sub-graph pattern groups
and <code>UNION</code> fully execute correctly. Fixes were made to
the variable scoping and join operations.</p>
<p>A lot of refactoring was done to provide the structure to enable
sub-<code>SELECT</code> to be turned into a query algebra structure
and executed.
</p>
<p>An entirely new variable scoping algorithm was implemented to
properly compute where a variable is assigned; the assumption was
removed that a variable with a given name can only be bound in one
place.
</p>
<p>Several bugs were fixed in the join implementation which affected
the sub-graph pattern grouping (natural join) and optional (left
join).
</p>
<p>Pulled new internal function
<code>rasqal_query_results_formatter_get_read_rowsource()</code> out
of <code>rasqal_service_execute()</code> to provide the structure for
executing <code>SERVICE</code> queries in the query engine.
</p>
<h3>Literal class changes</h3>
<p><code>rasqal_new_numeric_literal_from_long()</code> added to make an
integer or decimal literal depending if it fits in range.
</p>
<p><code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_get_long()</code> added to convert an
arbitrary precision decimal to a C long with an overflow error flag.
</p>
<p>xsd:integer subtypes are stored and printed correctly.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=454">Issue #0000454</a>.
</p>
<h3>Query class changes</h3>
<p><code>rasqal_query_get_distinct()</code> added to get the distinct
flag from <code>SELECT DISTINCT ...</code> queries.
</p>
<p><code>rasqal_query_set_wildcard()</code> added to set the '*' flag
for <code>SELECT *</code> queries
</p>
<p><code>rasqal_query_has_variable2()</code> added with variable type
arg deprecating <code>rasqal_query_has_variable()</code>. Note the
warning about using <code>RASQAL_VARIABLE_TYPE_UNKNOWN</code> is
ambiguous.
</p>
<p>Deprecated <code>rasqal_query_has_variable()</code> for the
above. Lookup by any type.</p>
<p><code>rasqal_query_set_variable2()</code> added with type arg
deprecating <code>rasqal_query_set_variable()</code>. Note the
warning about using <code>RASQAL_VARIABLE_TYPE_UNKNOWN</code> is
ambiguous.
</p>
<p>Deprecated <code>rasqal_query_set_variable()</code> for above.
Lookup by any type.</p>
<h3>Query result format changes</h3>
<p>The CSV and TSV query result formats (names <code>csv</code>
and <code>tsv</code> respectively) were altered to match the editor's draft
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/docs/csv-tsv-results/results-csv-tsv.html">SPARQL 1.1 Query Results CSV and TSV Formats</a>
which includes no header line, no result number and implementing
the specified quoting and end of lines in the specification.
</p>
<h3>Variable class changes</h3>
<p><code>rasqal_variables_table_add_variable()</code> added to add an
existing variable to a variables table.
</p>
<p><code>rasqal_variables_table_get_by_name()</code> added with
variable type arg.</p>
<p><code>rasqal_variables_table_contains()</code> added to check
if a variable with the given type and name is in the variables table.
</p>
<h3><code>roqet(1)</code> utility changes</h3>
<p>Correctly order the help so the <code>-d/--dump-query</code> value
list appears after the option description.
</p>
<h3>Porting changes</h3>
<p>Several patches were made to aid compiling on MS Windows were
applied based on those made by the
<a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows/emerge">KDE Emerge scripts to build KDE on windows</a>.
This includes a native replacement for the missing gettimeofday()
and timegm() functions. MS Windows remains an unsupported target.
</p>
<h3>Other changes</h3>
<p>The minimum Raptor version needed is now 2.0.4
for the <code>raptor_bnodeid_ntriples_write()</code> function.
</p>
<p>The test runner was fixed to fail the suite when there are
failures as well as expected failures.
</p>
<p>Code style change and cleanup for alloc/free macros. New code style:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>var = RASQAL_CALLOC(type, nmem, size)</code><br />
Prefering:<br />
<code>var = RASQAL_CALLOC(type, 1, sizeof(*var))</code><br />
when nmem = 1</li>
<li><code>var = RASQAL_CALLOC(type, size)</code></li>
<li><code>RASQAL_FREE(type, var)</code></li>
</ol>
<p>The consequence here is allocs that mostly fit into 1 line without
so much boilerplate and duplication of types. The
<code>RASQAL_MALLOC</code> and <code>RASQAL_CALLOC</code> macros now
do the cast to the return type. <code>RASQAL_FREE</code> takes the
object type too but always casts arg to void This
</p>
<p>Code style change for allocating strings:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>len = strlen(); malloc(..., len + 1)</code></li>
<li>and <code>memcmp(..., len + 1)</code></li>
</ol>
<p>Expanded GCC warnings to take advantage of newer analysis which
found several issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use of int for storing string and buffer lengths: replaced many
internal uses with the correct size_t for length computations.</li>
<li>Use of int for storing time: replaced with time_t that may be
larger</li>
<li>Use of <code>void*</code> for pointer differences: replaced
with <code>ptrdiff_t</code> where necessary.</li>
<li>Precision truncation between int and long, size_t.</li>
<li>Precision truncation between float and double.</li>
</ul>
<p>Made several internal functions to improve the above. There
remain some int / size_t errors in the public API that will need new
API functions to properly fix for 64-bit machines dealing with
strings more than >32bits in length; which should be rare.
</p>
<p>Reduced Rasqal's call stack size by ensuring all I/O buffers are
dynamically allocated.
</p>
<p><code>configure</code> now always checks for where <code>ceil()</code>,
<code>floor()</code> and <code>round()</code> can be found: in libc
or libm.
</p>
<p>The <code>configure</code> default
for <code>--enable-maintainer-mode</code> no longer enables the
debugging symbols. These can be added
with <code>--enable-debug</code>
</p>
<p>The <code>configure</code> gains an option
<code>--with-gmp=</code><em>PATH</em> to set the installation path
of the
<a href="http://gmplib.org/">GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP)</a>
if it is not in the standard lib/include prefix.

<code>MD5()</code>, <code>SHA1()</code>, <code>SHA224()</code>,
<code>SHA256()</code>, <code>SHA384()</code> and <code>SHA512()</code></p>
<h3>Query engine changes</h3>
<p>Many internal query engine changes to more accuractly compute
variable scope, use and binding to better support more complex
queries with scopes such as <code>UNION</code> (now mostly working)
and sub-<code>SELECT</code> (execution is not yet supported).
</p>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_world_set_warning_level()</code> to set the
query warning level in the 0...100 range where 0 is no warnings, 50
is the default and 100 is all warnings.
</p>
<p>Query errors now fail with regular errors not fatal errors that
<code>abort()</code>. Query parsing errors are not work killing the
process. Also adjusted some error paths to prevent reporting 2
errors at once.
</p>
<p><code>rasqal_op</code> enumeration gains values
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_MD5</code>, <code>RASQAL_EXPR_SHA1</code>,
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_SHA224</code>, <code>RASQAL_EXPR_SHA256</code>,
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_SHA384</code> and <code>RASQAL_EXPR_SHA512</code>
for message digest expressions corresponding to SPARQL 1.1 message
digest functions.
</p>
<p>Added message digest support either built with internal MD5 and
SHA1 which are always available, or with libmhash which provides the
full list of message digests that SPARQL 1.1 requires (and is
optimized).
</p>
<p>Make <code>ROUND()</code> work with XSD Decimal when compiled
against <a href="http://gmplib.org/">GNU MP</a>.
</p>
<p>Check for overflow when converting a string to int and if
resulting long won't fit in an int, turn it into a decimal.
Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=436">Issue #0000436</a>.
</p>
<p>Removed Query Engine V1 that was long disabled.

Fixes <a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=431">Issue #0000431</a>
</p>
<p>The JSON query result format now accepts the
<code>application/sparql-results+json</code> mime type, as specified
in the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-json-res/">Serializing SPARQL Query Results in JSON</a>
W3C WG Note.
</p>

worked for some time. Removed the <code>--with-triples-source</code>
and <code>--with-redland-config</code> options from <code>configure</code>.
</p>
<p>Add a portable version of <code>timegm()</code> when it is not
present in the system (such as Solaris).

<p>Added support for SPARQL 1.1 numeric functions <code>ABS()</code>,
<code>ROUND()</code>, <code>CEIL()</code> and <code>FLOOR()</code>.
</p>
<p>Added support for SPARQL 1.1 <code>BIND(expr as ?var)</code>
using existing <code>RASQAL_GRAPH_PATTERN_OPERATOR_LET</code>.
</p>
<p>Added support for SPARQL 1.1 <code>CLEAR</code> and

and
<a href="http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=428">Issue #0000428</a>.
</p>
<h3>DateTime class changes</h3>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_xsd_datetime_get_tz_as_counted_string()</code>
to get back the timezone string component of a datetime.
</p>
<h3>Datatype class changes</h3>
<p><code>rasqal_xsd_format_double()</code> now correctly formats
numbers that have no trailing 0s.
</p>
<h3>Decimal class changes</h3>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_abs()</code>,
<code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_round()</code>,
<code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_ceil()</code> and
<code>rasqal_xsd_decimal_floor()</code> to support the ABS(),
ROUND(), CEIL() and FLOOR() functions for decimals.
</p>
<h3>Expression class changes</h3>
<p>rasqal_op gains
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_ABS</code>,
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_ROUND</code>,
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_CEIL</code> and
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_FLOOR</code> for numeric operations,
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_RAND</code> for SPARQL 1.1 <code>RAND()</code>
and <code>RASQAL_EXPR_TZ</code> for SPARQL 1.1 TZ() timezone accessor.
</p>
<p>Added an evaluation context structure
<code>rasqal_evaluation_context</code> for the information needed to
evaluate any <code>rasqal_expression</code> tree. This makes
expression evaluation independent of a query, but still tied to a
rasqal world and (via variables) a variables table. Added constructor
<code>rasqal_new_evaluation_context()</code> to set the locator and
flags, destructor <code>rasqal_free_evaluation_context()</code>,
method <code>rasqal_evaluation_context_set_base_uri()</code> to
set/reset the shared reference to the context base URI
and method <code>rasqal_evaluation_context_set_rand_seed()</code>
to set the random seed for the evaluation.
</p>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_expression_evaluate2()</code> taking just an
expression and an evaluation context.
</p>
<p><code>rasqal_expression_evaluate()</code> is deprecated for the
above.
</p>
<p>Added new method
<code>rasqal_xsd_datetime_get_tz_as_counted_string()</code> for
executing <code>RASQAL_EXPR_TZ</code> for SPARQL 1.1 TZ().
</p>
<h3>Query Engine changes</h3>
<p>Initialise seed for RAND() from either a mixture of system sources
or from a value set by user. The user value can be set with new
query feature <code>RASQAL_FEATURE_RAND_SEED</code>. Uses
<code>rasqal_evaluation_context_set_rand_seed()</code> on the query's
internal evaluation context.
</p>
<p>Enable <code>rasqal_query_set_store_results()</code> to actually
work after a query prepare.
</p>
<p>Handle evaluation of <code>FILTER</code> over an empty inner graph
pattern such as in a query like <code>ASK WHERE { FILTER ( TRUE ) }</code>
</p>
<p>Ignore errors in executing SPARQL 1.1 project expression
<code>AS</code> variables.
</p>
<p>Update <code>rasqal_literal_as_boolean()</code>,
<code>rasqal_literal_as_integer</code> and
<code>rasqal_literal_as_floating</code> when evaluating NULL to
return a type error not an assertion failure or abort (in debug
mode).
</p>
<p>Change internal error handling to separate a NULL return from an
error return when evaluating expressions. Updated lots of callers of
expression evaluation to handle a NULL expression response. Needed
since now NULL is a valid expression evalution in some cases; like
STRLANG() on non-simple literals.
</p>
<p>Updated to use <code>rasqal_evaluation_context</code> for
expression evaluation.
</p>
<p>Handle support executing empty graph patterns such as in queries
like <code>SELECT (expr AS ?var) WHERE {}</code> which just evaluates
<code>expr</code> and returns a single row with a single result.
</p>
<h3>Query Result Formatter class changes</h3>
<p>Handle NULL values for RDF and Tables results.
</p>
<h3>Other changes</h3>
<p>Added <code>rasqal_world_get_query_language_description()</code>
to get a description of a query language replacing and deprecating
<code>rasqal_languages_enumerate()</code>.
</p>
<p>More fixes to check-query test script.
</p>
<p>Make GPL V2 or newer explicit in LICENSE.html.

<h3>SPARQL 1.1 Update draft Language changes</h3>
<p>Added support for <code>CLEAR</code> and <code>DROP</code>
applying to more than one graph. The options are now: just default
graph with <code>DEFAULT</code>, all named graphs with
<code>NAMED</code> and all graphs with <code>ALL</code>.
</p>
<p>Added support for optional <code>SILENT</code> flag before most
update operations.
</p>
<p>Added support for <code>ADD</code>, <code>MOVE</code> and
<code>COPY</code> operations which both operate between two graphs -
either named or default. The source graph is stored in the update
structure <code>graph_uri</code> field and the destination graph in
the <code>document_uri</code> field; the names have no meaning here
since both are graphs and a NULL value signifies the default graph.
</p>
<p>Added support for <code>DELETE WHERE {}</code> writing the triple
results into the <code>delete_templates</code> field of the update
structure.
</p>
<p>Added support for multiple update operations in one 'query'
separated by ';'.
</p>
<p><code>GROUP_CONCAT()</code> now sets the
<code>RASQAL_EXPR_FLAG_AGGREGATE</code> rasqal_expression flag
like the other builtin aggregate expressions.
</p>
<h3>Query Engine changes</h3>
<p>Fixed a few memory leaks in aggregate operation with
<code>GROUP</code> and with <code>HAVING</code>.
</p>
<h3>Literal API changes</h3>
<p>Fixed a memory leak with datetime literals.
</p>
<h3>Update API changes</h3>
<p><code>rasqal_update_type</code> gains new enum values
<code>RASQAL_UPDATE_TYPE_ADD</code>,
<code>RASQAL_UPDATE_TYPE_MOVE</code> and
<code>RASQAL_UPDATE_TYPE_COPY</code> for the SPARQL 1.1 Update ADD,
MOVE and COPY operations respectively.
</p>
<p>Added enum <code>rasqal_update_graph_applies</code> to specify
scope that update applies to beyond one graph to either just the
default graph, to all named graphs or to all graphs. Applies to
