I have just finished reviewing Ronald's fix to the transaction  
manager.  He was right, the test should have been OR not AND.  I have  
extracted the relevant test into a function to make it clearer what  
is supposed to be going on.

Regarding the removal of the cascade from implicitRollback, I agree  
that it is unnecessary - but only if the couple of cleanup lines are  
migrated into the abort cascade.

If the tests I am currently running pass clean, then I am going to  
ask Paul to put out a quick 1.0.1 release to get this fix out ASAP.

Regarding the contents of a 1.1 release I am hoping we can have:

1. Model Name URL/URN deconflation
2. Initial SPARQL implementation

I'm hoping to have 1 done before the 7th September.  Paul is  
currently working on 2 - I'll let him estimate this.

Beyond this I am going to be focused on XA2.

Other things that would be great to see include:
1. Full SPARQL implementation
2. XML/RPC support
3. ReST support
4. Java/RMI independent SOAP support
5. Documentation cleanup
6. Reification support (I'm currently looking at if this can be done  
with less than 4 new indices, Paul believes it can - I suspect he is  
right but I'm still not 100% convinced).
7. LDAP resolver
8. Maildir resolver
9. Fix the Filesystem Resolver (currently periodically runs out of  
memory on largish filesystems)
10. XMP resolver (jpeg/pdf metadata - this has to be my favourite  
potential resolver)
11. Atom/RSS/etc content handlers
12. FileWatchResolver (define some sort of processing (GRDDL/RDFa/ 
script) to a file to extract RDF into a temporary model - at start of  
transaction check MTIME of external file and reprocess/reload if  
necessary)

If anyone would like to take any of these on please let the list know  
- *especially* if it's one of the resolvers as writing a resolver is  
still not as easy as it should be and it is very very easy to get it  
wrong.
