Added <code>RDF::Redland</code> methods <code>set_log_handler</code> and <code>reset_log_handler</code> to get structured error messages. Prefer this to the older handler.</p> <p>Perl.

This can be used to capture or store detailed info on possibly multiple problems in parsing.</p> <h3>PHP bindings changes</h3> <p>Fix for swig calling zend_rsrc_list_get_rsrc_type incorrectly. Added <code>PHP_MINFO_FUNCTION</code> to report that Redland was loaded, the version of redland and the PHP bindings.</p> <h3>Python bindings changes</h3> <p>Change the way that redland errors and warnings are reported. There are now two choices. By default warnings are now generated immediately as a Python <code>PyRedland_Warning</code> warning. The first error generated is saved and thrown as an <code>PyRedland_Error</code> exception after the redland function returns. If multiple errors are generated, the remaining ones are left to the default redland error handler, which prints them to stderr.</p> <p>The alternative is in parsing methods <code>model.load</code>, <code>parser.parse_into_model</code> and <code>parser.parse_string_into_model</code> which now take an optional <em>handler</em> parameter that is a subroutine handler providing detailed log information.</p> <p>This change has a disadvantage in no longer allowing user-registration of callbacks but it does seem to work better with Python than the former mechanism of python calling C calling Python.</p> <h2 id="rel1_0_0_1"><a name="rel1_0_0_1">Redland Bindings 1.0.0.1 Changes</a></h2> <p>The main changes for this release are to provide additional query results formats, in Python only at present and to synchronise with Redland 1.0.0</p> <h3>C# bindings changes</h3> <p>Correct marshalling .NET strings to and from UTF-8 inside Redland correctly.

This is now defined by the Redland.i file provided by the redland package (in binary packages inside redland-devel rpm or librdf-dev debs). This can also be found via <code>redland-config --swig</code> and then used to generate the C wrappers for the bindings. There may be need for language-specific changes which can be used via #included .i files triggered by calling swig and the C compiler with defines like <code>-DREDLAND_PRE_I</code> to #include redland-pre.i from the Redland.i.</p> <p>The last paragraph does not apply to C# (Redland#) which uses the built in P/Invoke feature of the language and runtime to call the Redland functions directly.</p> <h3>Packaging changes</h3> <h3>C# API (Redland#) Changes</h3> <p>This is an entirely new API for 0.9.17 originally created by Cesar Lopez Nataren. It was updated by Dave Beckett to work with the released Mono 1.0 and substantially improved by Edd Dumbill.

The main changes are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Another attempt to return errors and warnings from parsing better.</li> <li>Class Model.
