BaseX 9.6.4: Tweaks, Fixes & Thank Yous
by Christian Grün 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Dear all, We conclude this year with yet another release of BaseX, our XML framework, database and XQuery processor [1]. The new version contains new performance tweaks and minor bug fixes, the details of which can be examined on our GitHub page [2]. As we’ve got numerous inquiries regarding Log4j: I can comfort you that BaseX is not affected by the vulnerabilities. We have our own logging mechanism, which has no built-in code execution features. The same applies to the Jetty web server. Log4j once again demonstrates that Open Source is everywhere, and that it takes valuable time and resources to build professional and secure software. We send out a big thank you to those of you who are (and have been) supporting us by paying for maintenance, sponsoring new features and giving donations. It’s you who is keeping BaseX both alive and up to date! Have a good time, Christian [1] https://basex.org [2] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/commits/master
