A list of bugs fixed in this release is available here.

The outstanding bugs in this release are as follows:

The Kowari Viewer^TM, the web based iTQL^TM user interface, does not support unicode querying. SF bug 970139. The Swing UI, scripting and SOAP API do.
Backup and restore does not handle full text models. On restore the system thinks that the full text models exist when they may not. SF bug 978696. The backup/restore system only handles the single statement store not external model implementations such as Lucene.
The query layer has no object representing unbound results. SF bug 947517.
Loading RDF data can cause the system to corrupt. SF bug 978672. This is restricted to RDF/XML containing certain predicates that are used by the system model and would not normally occur in normal usage.
When columns are unbound they create duplicates. SF bug 949673.
UnconstrainedResolution returns Long.MAX_VALUE. SF bug 979536.
Abstract tuples should not implement getRowComparator. SF bug 962034.
Byte order mis-match causes the machine to hang. SF bug 978687. Doing a backup/restore instead of moving directories will prevent this from occurring.
Answer does not implement getObject(String). SF bug 968648.
Unification in append and join operations need to co-operate. At the moment they don't. SF bug 960504.
HybridTuples do not cap their total memory usage. SF bug 958334.
Can't compile using JRockit JDK. SF bug 947534. Use the Sun or other SDK to compile. Seems to be a SableCC issue. Runs under JRockit.
jxUnitTests don't exercise FileTuples.beforeFirst(prefix). SF bug 919218.
Original file that's zipped is limited to 2GB in size. SF bug 936092. This is a problem with Java's implementation of ZIP.
Under Mac OS^® X you should kill the Kowari process rather than hitting Control-C as it seems cause the operating system to become unstable. This may be related to mapped I/O problems. Again, this does not lead to corruption of the database. SF bug 898486.
Change TuplesException to CursorException. SF bug 960577.
OrderByRowComparator fails without projection. SF bug 962055.
Make HybridTuples use memory adaptively. SF bug 958336.
TuplesOperation should consume input parameter. SF bug 960518.
