Sesame 2.0-alpha-2 released

We've just released a second alpha version of Sesame 2. Major new things include:

• Java 5.
  All access APIs now extensively use Java 5 features such as typed collections. This not only makes Sesame's own code more robust, but also makes client code faster, easier, and clearer.
• Native Storage Backend.
  Sesame's B-Tree based binary on-disk persistence backend (a.k.a. the native store) has been ported to Sesame 2. So now we have fast, scalable and reliable persistence, and of course it has context support as well.
• Pull-based Query.
  The Sesame query model has been redesigned to allow pull-based querying: through lazy iterators, the client can now actively control when individual query results are returned (instead of having to passively consume whatever the server sends it).

More detailed information on changes, features, documentation etc. to be found at the Sesame website.
