Maintenance Release of Virtuoso 08.03.3326
This update release introduces the following new features and associated benefits:
[1] Encryption At Rest (EAR) — Virtuoso databases (your virtuoso.db or other .db files) are encrypted without destroying database management system (DBMS) performance or scalability
[2] Built-in (a/k/a Native) GraphQL support — adds another interface (to SQL and SPARQL) for declaratively operating on local and/or remote databases and knowledge graphs accessible to a Virtuoso instance
[3] Mutual-TLS, PKCE, and DPoP support added to OpenID + OAuth2 implementation — which adds new granularity to the multi-protocol Virtuoso Authentication Layer (VAL)
[4] NetID-TLS protocol extended to support blockchains (Bitcoin and/or Ethereum) as verifiable credential stores for cryptographically enabled self-sovereign identity & authenticity without incurring any gas fees whatsoever
