Dear Wikibase Community,
Today we’re releasing a bugfix release for WBS WDQS: version 2.0.1. It
fixes an issue where standard SPARQL prefixes injected by WDQS would not
reference Wikidata. With this fix, prefixes such as wd: and wdt: do
reference Wikidata. Thanks a lot to @fdeuze <https://github.com/fdeuze> for
identifying and reporting the problem.
Find the relevant changelog here
<https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-pipeline/blob/main/build/wdqs/CHAN…>.
The new image is available on Docker Hub
<https://hub.docker.com/r/wikibase/wdqs/tags>.
If you want to read more, check out the commit message
<https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-pipeline/commit/e97290e17dfd0da31c…>
as a starting point for more information.

WBS WDQS 2.0.1 is used in WBS Deploy 1 and WBS Deploy 3 stacks.
