Changes:
This release has a newly optimized bitmap-intersection join, typically twice as efficient as an equivalent nested loop join. There are improvements to locking, especially for concurrency of transactions with large shared lock sets, as is the case in the TPC-H queries. As part of the completion of the Business Intelligence extensions to SPARQL (SPARQL-BI), a sampling of TPC-H queries translated into SPARQL has been released, and has been integrated into the standard demonstration database.
