Changes and deprecations

• The old RDF templates to output a dataset in RDF/XML or N3 format have been removed. These can be now enabled using the dcat plugin on ckanext-dcat:

• The library used to render markdown has been changed to python-markdown. This introduces both python-markdown and bleach as dependencies, as bleach is used to clean any HTML provided to the markdown processor.

• This is the last version of CKAN to support Postgresql 8.x, 9.0 and 9.1. The next minor version of CKAN will require Postgresql 9.2 or later.
