''[[News date::Dec 31 2007]].'' After a lot of holiday programming, the first stable version of [[Semantic MediaWiki]], SMW&nbsp;1.0, is now available for [http://sourceforge.net/projects/semediawiki/ download]. Among numerous improvements, it introduces semantic RSS feeds, that will also see much use on this site. <includeonly>[[Note:Semantic MediaWiki 1.0 is available|Read more &hellip;]]</includeonly><noinclude>Other highlights include a lot of performance improvements, much more powerful inline queries, and many beautifications. The online documentation is presently moved to [http://semantic-mediawiki.org semantic-mediawiki.org] and will be full updated within the next month.

== New features at a glance ==

* Simplified semantic annotations: just one kind of annotation ("Property").
* Significant speedups for page rendering and loading
* Prettier and easier to understand interfaces
* Alternative inline query syntax <nowiki>{{#ask:...}}</nowiki>, fully compatible with 
MediaWiki templates, template parameters, and other extensions
* Semantic RSS feeds: subscribe to your favourite query results
* More expressive semantic querying: class and property hierarchies, equality
* Pattern matching, disjunctions, and inequality in query conditions
* Fewer and simpler datatypes, more tolerant parsing
* Better media support: better treatment of links to Image: and Media:
* Better internationalisation, new languages: Dutch, Chinese
* Experimental n-ary properties for list-like property values
* Ontology import re-enabled (simple annotation import)
* Support for upcoming MediaWiki 1.12
* Many many bugfixes and improvements

== How to install/upgrade ==

SMW 1.0 requires MediaWiki of version 1.11 or greater (though 1.10 still work 
for the most part). Existing installations can easily be upgraded, and 
existing syntax will mostly continue to work as expected. Details on upgrade 
and installation are found in the [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/INSTALL INSTALL instructions].

Any problems can be discussed on our user mailing list "semediawiki-user".

== Acknowledgements ==

This release represents a major step in SMW development, and would not have 
been possible without a number of [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/README contributors], [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/README translators], and, of course, 
users, who have greatly aided the development of SMW. In addition, 
specific development tasks have been supported by the European Union within 
projects SEKT and NeOn, and by Vulcan Inc. and ontoprise GmbH within the Halo 
project. Thanks!

Finally, given that none of us accepts any donations, I would like to point 
out that the development of SMW hinges upon the established communities and 
experiences of the open content and free software movement. SMW would not 
have been possible without the continued activities from organisations such 
as the Wikimedia Foundation (obviously), but also the Free Software 
Foundation or Creative Commons (providing us developers with some legal 
safety). If you want to support SMW, please support those or similar 
organisations.
