[rdf4j-dev] RDF4J timeline

[Håvard Ottestad <hmottestad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would update everyone on the timeline of RDF4J 5.0.0. 

At the moment I don’t have any more features I’m planning to add. I’m currently waiting on Ontotext for some feedback on my integration work with them before I can say that I’m sure that nothing else needs to be included. 

The next milestone will be our last. I hope to have it out fairly soon. After that I’m going to merge the develop branch into the main branch to get ready for release. Typically we follow up with a release 2-3 weeks after the final milestone, during which time we will have a feature freeze to make sure we don’t inadvertently break anything. That is also a good period to work on the release notes, update documentation and run benchmarks. 

So to summarise:

• Milestone 3 is coming soon
• Then feature freeze for 2-3 weeks
• Followed by release of RDF4 5.0.0

Cheers,

Håvard
