Create a new release

[dvzrv]

Hi! I'm packaging raptor for Arch Linux.

Would it be possible to create a new release for this project? The last one is from 2014 and there are CVEs for which I need to carry patches although they are fixed upstream (here).

Releasing a new version would be great, so that downstreams can rely on a new tarball with these fixes included.

Cross-compilation of 2.0.15 is broken due to the use of x-config binaries.

i tested 3cca62a33da68143b687c9e486eefc7c7cbb4586 and cross-compilation works well with cmake

tested by applying the following in nixpkgs and then building it with nix build ".#pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.librdf_raptor2"

Hi @dajobe, it's now been more than seven years since the most recent release.

I know you've been working on a lot of bug fixes and updates. When do you think you'll be able to cut a new release?

Also, with Debian's next freeze coming up in January, it'd be fantastic to have a new version in the archive well before then.

2.0.16 was released in 2023.

[dajobe]

Yes, as @ryandesign said, I made a new release.
