There is some ongoing discussion in the W3 XML Working Group on how to
perform updates and return items and stay at the same time backward
compatible with XQuery Update 1.0, but no decision has been takes yet.
If you (and anyone else) believes that this in an important or even
essential feature, please don't hesitate and add a feature request in
the W3 "bug" tracker:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/describecomponents.cgi?product=XPath%20%2F%2…
Cheers,
Christian

Dear BaseX aficionados,
An upcoming version of our software (7.9 or 8.0) will make it much
easier to perform updates and return items at the same time [1]. It
will also contain an xquery:update function and will bring xquery:eval
and xquery:evaluate together again [2] Another exciting and
sophisticated feature we are working on is query precompilation [3],
which will particularly speed up large XQuery applications and allow
for more request-specific optimizations.
Next, we are working on a Database Administration interface based on
RESTXQ, and we will also drop out the confusing client/server dialog
from the GUI.
Feature 1 and 2 are already available via a feature branch [4]. If you
are working with the git sources, we are excited to get your feedback!
