SMW 1.0RC1

From the RELEASE-NOTES

 * Simplified semantic annotations: just one kind of annotation ("Property").
 * Significant speedup (both server and network load substantially reduced).
 * Prettier and easier to understand interfaces:
 * New tooltips that work on both normal and special pages.
 * Simplified factbox layout, with all properties in alphabetic order.
 * Inline warnings to simplify trouble shooting with annotations.
 * Improved, more helpful and informative warning and error messages.
 * Highlighting for built-in elements. E.g. built-in types are visually distinguished from arbitrary types; useful as visual feedback.
 * Error/warning reporting for (inline) queries.
 * Alias strings for all SMW elements. English labels are allowed in all languages, names of old SMW elements still work as aliases for their replacements.
 * More expressivity for semantic querying:
 * support for subproperties,
 * improved equality resolution (redirects),
 * support for disjunctions,
 * inequality check for datavalues (" property::!value ")
 * New/improved datatypes:
 * Help:Type Page for explicitly specifying properties that are "relations"
 * Help:Type Number as universal replacement for Type:Integer and Type:Float
 * Help:Type URL as universal replacement for old Type:URL and Type:URI
 * Help:Type Geographic coordinate completely rewritten. More input formats supported now (e.g. coordinates without "," separating Lat and Long)
 * special property "allows value" works for all types
 * display units are now easier to select via property "display units"
 * Improved data display: linked URLs and tooltips work for queries and special pages
 * Improved maintenance special pages:
 * Hints and warning for property usage/declaration in Special:Properties
 * Extra information and warnings for types on Special:Types
 * Special:SemanticStatistics as faster replacement for earlier "ExtendedStatistics"
 * New experimental n-ary properties, allowing property values to consist of a list of entries.
 * Ontology import re-enabled (simple annotation import)
 * Dutch translation added (by Siebrand Mazeland)
 * Improved APIs and various new hooks to simplify the life of SMW extension developers.
 * Many bugfixes.

Other changes for the RC1 include:
 * No more support for Help:Type Boolean. Will be re-enabled later.
 * Help:Type Enum became obsolete, since all types now support "allows value", but it remains an alias for Help:Type String.
 * Service links are not working in this Release Candidate yet, especially coordinate values do not link to maps yet. This will reappear before SMW 1.0 final.
