Serd 0.20.0 has been released. Serd is a lightweight C library for RDF syntax which supports reading and writing [Turtle][], [TriG][], [NTriples][], and [NQuads][]. Serd is suitable for performance-critical or resource-limited applications, such as serialising very large data sets or embedded systems.

Changes:

• Add -lm to pkg-config libs
• Correctly handle posix_memalign failure
• Don't write xsd:decimal literals to Turtle bare if they would not be read back with the same type
• Fix const-correctness violation for reader input string
• Fix possible crash in serd_writer_end_anon() when writing invalid lists
• Generate blank names like :b1 and :B2 not :genid1 :docid2
• Support new RDF 1.1 Turtle
• Update to waf 1.7.14

Serd 0.18.2 has been released. Serd is a lightweight C library for RDF syntax which supports reading and writing [Turtle][], [TriG][], [NTriples][], and [NQuads][]. Serd is suitable for performance-critical or resource-limited applications, such as serialising very large data sets or embedded systems.

Changes:

• Disable timestamps in HTML documentation for reproducible build
• Fix bug that caused "a" abbreviation in non-predicate position
• Fix clashing symbol "error" in amalgamation build
• Fix crash when resolving against non-standard base URIs
• Fix crash when serd_node_new_decimal is called with infinity or NaN
• Update to waf 1.7.8 and autowaf r90 (install docs to versioned directory)

Serd 0.18.0 has been released. Serd is a lightweight C library for RDF syntax which supports reading and writing [Turtle][], [TriG][], [NTriples][], and [NQuads][]. Serd is suitable for performance-critical or resource-limited applications, such as serialising very large data sets or embedded systems.

Changes:

• Add -e option to serdi to use incremental reading
• Add -q option to serdi to suppress all non-data output, e.g. errors
• Add error callback to reader and writer for custom error reporting
• Add incremental read interface suitable for reading from infinite streams
• Add option to build utilities as static binaries
• Do not require a C++ compiler to build
• Fix various hyper-strict warnings
• Report write size correctly when invalid UTF-8 is encountered and a replacement character is written
• Reset indent when finishing a write
• Strip down API documentation to a single clean page
• Support digits at start of local names as per new Turtle grammar
• Upgrade to waf 1.7.2

Serd 0.14.0 has been released. Serd is a lightweight C library for RDF syntax which supports reading and writing [Turtle][], [TriG][], [NTriples][], and [NQuads][]. Serd is suitable for performance-critical or resource-limited applications, such as serialising very large data sets or embedded systems.

Changes:

• Add SerdBulkSink for writing bulk output and corresponding serdi -B option
• Add serd_chunk_sink for easy writing to a string
• Add serd_file_sink for easy writing to a FILE* stream
• Add serd_node_new_blob and serd_base64_decode for handling arbitrary binary data via base64 encoding
• Add serd_node_new_file_uri() and serd_file_uri_parse() and implement proper URI to/from path hex escaping, etc.
• Add serd_reader_set_default_graph() for reading a file as a named graph
• Add serd_strtod(), serd_node_new_decimal(), and serd_node_new_integer() for locale-independent numeric node parsing/serialising
• Add serd_uri_serialise_relative() for making URIs relative to a base where possible (by chopping a common prefix and adding dot segments)
• Add serd_writer_get_env()
• Add serd_writer_set_root_uri() and corresponding -r option to serdi to enable writing URIs with up references (../)
• Add serdi -f option to prevent URI qualification
• Escape ASCII control characters in output (e.g. fix problems with string literals that start with a backspace)
• Handle a quote as the last character of a long string literal in the writer (by escaping it) rather than the reader, to avoid writing Turtle other tools fail to parse
• Handle files and strings that start with a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark
• Implement pretty-printing for collections
• Improve URI resolution to cover most of the abnormal cases from RFC3986
• Improve write performance by doing bulk writes for unescaped substrings
• Install man page to DATADIR (e.g. PREFIX/share/man, not PREFIX/man)
• Make URIs serialised by the writer properly escape characters
• Parse collections iteratively in O(1) space
• Remove use of multi-byte peek (readahead) and use exactly 1 page for read buffer (instead of 2)
• Report read error if both "genid" and "docid" IDs are found in the same document, to prevent silent merging of distinct blank nodes
• Report reason for failure to open file in serdi
• Resolve dot segments in serd_uri_resolve() instead of at write time
• Support Windows file://c:/foo URIs in serd_uri_to_path() on all platforms
• Support compilation as C++ under MSVC++
• Support file://localhost/foo URIs in serd_uri_to_path()
• Tolerate invalid characters in string literals by replacing with the Unicode replacement character
• Use path variables in pkgconfig files

Serd 0.5.0 has been released. Serd is a lightweight C library for RDF syntax which supports reading and writing [Turtle][], [TriG][], [NTriples][], and [NQuads][]. Serd is suitable for performance-critical or resource-limited applications, such as serialising very large data sets or embedded systems.

Changes:

• Add ability to build static library
• Add serd_env_set_prefix_from_strings for convenience
• Add serd_strerror
• Avoid writing illegal Turtle names as a result of URI qualifying
• Fix erroneously equal SERD_ERR_BAD_SYNTAX and SERD_ERR_BAD_ARG
• Fix pretty printing of successive blank descriptions, i.e. "] , ["
