Soprano 2.8.0 released

[Sebastian Trüg]

Soprano 2.8.0 is the latest major release of the Qt RDF storage and 
parsing framework. It is targetted towards KDE 4.9 users and comes with 
a bunch of improvements over the 2.7 series:

* Improved NRLModel query prefix expansion.
* Support for plain SQL queries in the Virtuoso backend (required for
   improvements in Nepomuk).
* Introduced new query language flag QueryLanguageSparqlNoInference.
   This language is not supported by any backends. It is supposed to be
   used in clients like Nepomuk to avoid the usage of long user types
   which are harder to read.
* Convert Virtuoso IRI_ID values into simple literal strings. At some
   point if the need arises we might call ID_TO_IRI() to convert them
   into URIs.
* New boolean option "noStatementSignals" in the Virtuoso backend which
   will disable Model::statementsAdded() and friends.
* Improved local unix socket communication in the server/client system:
   A custom socket implementation as a replacment for QLocalSocket makes
   it possible to use one socket across threads.

Soprano (formerly known as QRDF) is a library which provides a highly
usable object-oriented C++/Qt4 framework for RDF data. It uses different
RDF storage solutions as backends through a simple plugin system.
Soprano is targetted at desktop applications.
