Improved I/O and checkpoint handling -- eliminitating the disruption of periodic DBMS checkpoints especially for applications deploye to the World Wide Web.
CSV File Attachments -- Virtual Database (VDB) Layer now supports attachment of CSV files as it already does in regards to ODBC/JDBC accessible Tables from remote 3rd party ODBC/JDBC accessible RDBMS data sources.
Enhanced VDB Layer with Vectorized data transmission -- as is the case with the advanced DBMS engine, all I/O operations within the VDB layer are now vectorized thereby leveraging fine-grain thread affinity provided by the Virtuoso installation's host operating system.
Enhanced performance of SPARQL & SQL queries over RDF Views -- significantly faster generation of RDF based Linked Data views over remote 3rd party ODBC/JDBC accessible RDBMS data sources.
Enhanced persistence of RDF Views -- faster generation of persitent RDF based Linked Data views derived from Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) outputs from remote 3rd party ODBC/JDBC accessible RDBMS data sources.
Scalable Fine-grained Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Data Access Policies scoped to Web Services and/or Named Graphs supporting various authentication protocols (OAuth, OpenID, WebID + TLS, basic PKI) .
