<strong>FORMAT CHANGE</strong> The persistent storage format was
changed to support RDF typed literals and this will require an

provided that creates an updated store from an existing one.<br />

supports contexts) can take an optional <a href="docs/api/node.html">Node</a>, returned by the new
get_context method on <a href="docs/api/iterator.html">Iterator</a> and <a href="docs/api/stream.html">Stream</a> classes.<br />
