v1.0.0 Alpha 16

What Changed In This Release

This release was triggered by accidentally merging a PR into master instead of devleopment, which caused CI to push the a16 release, whose name cannot be reused...

In any case, all tests pass and the PR actually brings in a new important feature, i.e. support for multiple RDF serialization formats, so might as well consider it a full release.
