A utility <em>redland-db-upgrade</em> is provided that creates an updated store from an existing one.<br /> <strong>API CHANGE</strong> <a href="docs/api/iterator.html">Iterator</a> and <a href="docs/api/stream.html">Stream</a> classes. The next/get_next method is split into get_object always returning a shared object and next methods. get_context method added. (get_object is called current in higher level language APIs)<br /> <strong>API CHANGE</strong> <a href="docs/api/model.html">Model</a> class. Method add_statement no longer takes ownership of the passed in statement. The caller now retains ownership.<br /> <strong>API CHANGE</strong> <a href="docs/api/model.html">Model</a> class.
