DBPedia board has been faffing about regarding the new hyper-relational data model [0] and has come up with a bunch of hack-ish solutions (read: esoteric data models) to incorporate it. As far as I remember, there were dumps from 2018 with some hyper-relational facts but by and large the go-to dumps is from 2016-10 [1].
I think they acknowledge that info-box information is no longer good enough (both in coverage and completeness) and have handed over the moniker of the open-access KG to Wikidata. To their credit, I think its the right call.
src: I worked in a lab lead by DBPedia's founder (and one of the contributors to the original infobox to KB code).

^^This enables, amongst other things, fact's validity to be quantified. Instead of saying <barack obama> <president> <united states>, you can now say {<barack obama> <president> <united states>} <from> <DD-MM-YYYY>; <to> <DD-MM-YYYY>
