We're nearly there

• This is a big release, building up to the major 1.0 release.
• Expect some issues, there will be 0.9.9.postX releases with just bug fixes between now and 1.0

Added

• Major new feature. Added the ability to pass in an extra ontology document which gets parsed and mixed with the data graph before pre-inferencing. This helps in the cases where the target data graph contains a data snippet which can only be fully expanded with the help of an external ontology document containing RDFS and OWL axioms.
  • Use ont_graph=path_to_graph in the python module or
  • Use -e or --ont-graph on the command line utility to take advantage of this feature.
• SHACL graph or ONT graph can now be a Web URL, rather than a file path.
  • This works from the module validator entrypoint or the commandline tool.
• Added built in tests for issue#14 and for the commandline tool.
• Added new details to the README about the above new features.
• Added coverage statistics to the README.
• Started adding some hopefully-informative debugging output messages when debug mode is turned on. More to come.

Changed

• Pre-inferencing can now only ever be run once per Validator instance, this is an attempt to prevent running
  pre-inferencing multiple times unnecessarily.
• Internal shapes lookup cache is now stored in the ShapesGraph instance, rather than in a global static class
  variable on the Shape class
• Fixed some bugs in the examples code, thanks @johannesloetzsch!
• Lots of code coverage specific changes, and comments where we can improve coverage.
