+## 2025-03-29 RELEASE 7.1.4
+
+A tidy-up release with no major updates over 7.1.3. This may be the last 7.x 
+release as we move to a version 8 with breaking changes to Dataset and a few
+APIs.
+
+Interesting PRs merged:
+
+* 2025-03-24 - remove old hacks against 2to3
+  [PR #3095](https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib/pull/3095)

+* 2025-01-18 - small docco update
+  [PR #3053](https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib/pull/3053)
+
+... and lots of boring dependency bump PRs merged!
+
+## 2025-01-17 RELEASE 7.1.3
+
+A fix-up release that re-adds support for Python 3.8 after it was accidentally 
+removed in Release 7.1.2.
+
+This release cherrypicks many additions to 7.1.2 added to 7.1.1 but leaves out 
+typing changes that are not compatible
+with Python 3.8.
+
+Also not carried over from 7.1.2 is the change from Poetry 1.x to 2.0.
+
+Included are PRs such as _Defined Namespace warnings fix_, _sort longturtle 
+blank nodes_, _deterministic longturtle serialisation_ and _Dataset documentation 
+improvements_.
+
+For the full list of included PRs, see the preparatory PR: 
+<https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib/pull/3036>.

 Serialization
 -------------
-JSON-LD has a number of options for serialization - more than other RDF formats. For example, IRIs within JSON-LD can be compacted down to CURIES when a "context" statment is added to the JSON-LD data that maps identifiers - short codes - to IRIs and namespace IRIs like this:
 
-# here the short code "dcterms" is mapped to the IRI http://purl.org/dc/terms/ and "schema" to https://schema.org/, as per RDFLib's in-build namespace prefixes
