I’ve just sent a quick announcement to the n2-dev mailing list to announce a new release of Pho the Ruby client for the Talis Platform.

The CHANGES document includes a complete summary of the changes made since the 0.4.1 release. There have been quite a few of these as I’ve added more code for handling submission of directories of files to the Content Box; initial support for Changesets to support updates of RDF graphs, including support for “diffing” two graphs to generate the appropriate changesets for submission to the Platform; as well as a SPARQL protocol client and a number utility classes to make working with SPARQL queries slightly easier.

The addition of RDF/JSON for serializing results of CONSTRUCT and DESCRIBE queries makes it much easier to work with query results as they’re much easier to parse.

The latest release does add a dependency on the Redland Ruby language bindings to provide support for parsing of RDF/XML, Turtle and N-Triples. So you’ll need to install the relevant Redland packages to make use of the latest release.
