Version 1.7.0

This MTW version supports Apache Jena 5+ which enables using special queries for better relevancy when searching in MTW.

When upgrading to this version and Jena to version 5:

• update Java if necessary

• create new FUSEKI_DATA_DIR - ie: /data/jena5

• use copy of mesh_Jena5.ttl as new mesh.ttl config

• update all the ENV variables

• update your mtw-dist.ini config

• set/enable this value in the mtw-dist.ini config:

  USE_PROP_LISTS = True

Also, now is the time to update MeSH data to the 2025 version - see the wiki on this topic.

You can still use this MTW version with Jena 4 but you MUST:

• use the respective mesh.ttl configuration - copy of mesh_Jena4.ttl
• comment out USE_PROP_LISTS or set the value to False
