View Page HistoryStarting from version 6, GraphDB now includes three separate products with their own version numbers: GraphDB Engine, GraphDB Workbench and GraphDB Connectors (this was an experimental feature in 6.0 and 6.1). New features and significant bug-fixes/updates for the last few releases are recorded here. Each product's component's full version numbers are is given as:
{panel}major.minor.build_number{panel}
e.g. 5.3.5928 where the major number is 5, the minor number is 3 and the build number is 5928.
The integrated releases have their own version, e.g. 6.0-RC1. 6.2.0, 6.2.1 and so on.
Releases with the same major and minor version numbers do not contain any new features. The only difference is that releases with later build numbers contain fixes for bugs discovered since the previous release. New or significantly changed features are released with a higher major or minor version number.

h5. GraphDB Engine [Component version: 6.2.b9b0f111] 6.2.1]
Features:
* OWLIM-1682 Redesign the Entity pool so that it becomes transactional.
A new [transactional entity pool|GraphDB62:GraphDB pool|GraphDB-SE Entity Pool] has been created. This allows the Connectors to be run in cluster mode.

The [LoadRDF tool|GraphDB62:GraphDB-SE LoadRDF tool] now supports parallel (multithreaded) reasoning mode. The improvement of the loading speed is between 50% 25% and 4100%, measured on Wordnet and SPB-64m and Wordnet datasets, respectively.
Miscellaneous & bug fixes:

* LoadRDF uses lock-free data structure for faster multithreaded inference

h2. GraphDB 6.1.8410
- fixed: [owlim-1853|owlim-1853] LoadRDF under Windows sometimes does not include statements in the PSO index and the indexes are incosistent;
- Added a check/warning to see if there is enough memory for the entity pool when it gets restored from persistence (-Xmx - cache-memory should be >= entity pool size * 1.25, i.e. 25% overhead is left for the datatype index and other in-memory structures included in the entity pool and for other purposes, e.g. for running queries).
h2. GraphDB Workbench 6.3.2

Highlights:
- *Much faster write transactions* for small insert/update/delete operations on large repositories. Results on LDBC [Semantic Publishing Benchmark|http://ldbcouncil.org/developer/spb] (SPB) at 50M went up from 32 read and 12 write queries per second in ver. 6.0 to 40 reads/s and 31 writes/s in ver. 6.1. The improvement gets even more visible and SPB at 1B scale: from 10 reads/s and 2 writes/s in ver. 6.0 to 11 reads/s and 10 writes/s in ver. 6.1. In summary, GraphDB 6.1 is able to handle twice more updates at 50M scale and 5 times more updates at scale of 1 billion statements. This way GraphDB 6.1 is already capable to deal with true Dynamic Semantic Publishing scenario, like the one of [BBC|http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/legacy/bbcinternet/2012/04/sports_dynamic_semantic.html], at a scale of 1 billion statements and higher.

- *Improved load capabilities for large new datasets in live databases* instances. Scenario description: there is a production cluster with average load - running LDBC-50m (SPB) with 4 reading threads (doing select queries) and 1 writing thread (doing update queries). We need to add a large dataset (e.g. DBPedia) with hundreds of millions statements -- as fast as possible, but without disrupting the overall cluster speed too much (not introducing write latency of more than 1-2s). The data set doesn't need inference, so it is loaded with the empty rule set.

h1. GraphDB version 6.0-RC6
This is an integrated release that includes:
- GraphDB Engine 6.0.8210
- GraphDB Engine 6.0.8210

h2. GraphDB Engine 6.0.8120
- Fixed Lucene plugin to support Custom Analyzers/Scorers (this was broken on 6.0 releases due to plugin classloader not loading jars from the plugin directory)
- [OWLIM-1730|OWLIM-1730] fixed handling of a failed initialisation within LiteralsPlugin
- [OWLIM-1712|OWLIM-1712] Query Optimizer does not apply 'strong' equality within FILTER when bot variables are used as subject of some statement patterns
- OWLIM-1615: Fixed how running queries are handled on shutdown

h2. GraphDB Engine 6.0.8070
h3. Major changes:
- Query monitoring via JMX - the full text of the query is now visible
- Fixes for the Constraint Violation support & multiple rulesets
- Fixes for the Constraint Violation support & multiple rulesets
- Faster update speeds
-- Now using GraphDB Custom NTriples/NQuads parser by default (so NTriples, NQuad formats are parsed faster than other formats)
-- when a transaction is using the *empty* ruleset, the commit can added to all indexes in parallel. In order to use this experiment feature, add the special system statement: _:b <http://owlim.ontotext.com/owlim/useParallel> _:b \_:b <[http://owlim.ontotext.com/owlim/useParallel]> \_:b in the beginning of the transacton. This makes sense for larger transactions (10K statements and above).
h3. Full list of changes:
- OWLIM-1628 Added a fix of the issue of not being able to explore a ruleset when the empty ruleset was set initially.
- OWLIM-1626 RepositoryException in Worker is not thrown by the Master
- OWLIM-1626 RepositoryException in Worker is not thrown by the Master

- OWLIM-1572 Query Monitoring - show query text instead of query id
- OWLIM-1559 Fixed property path bug when same property paths are repeated in the query
- OWLIM-1559 Fixed property path bug when same property paths are repeated in the query
- F-320 JMX: NumberOfExplicitTriples and NumberOfTriples shows \-1 even though data has been written to the triple store
- OWLIM-1563 Fixed the issue with custom ruleset + disable-sameAs=true.
- OWLIM-1559 Implemented a shortcut in the MINUS operator which allows for faster calculation when the MINUS is over two subqueries with one triple pattern (which may have filters).
