BaseX 8.6.6
by Christian Grün 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Hi there, BaseX 8.6.6 is out. Among other things, we fixed two bugs in the map:merge function and where clauses with predicates, so we recommend you to update to the latest version if you work with BaseX 8.6.x. Apart from that, binary data handling was tweaked a lot: The Binary and Conversion Modules will now be much faster if you iterate over single bytes. Have fun everyone, Christian PS: I’ll be offline most of the time until Sep 15. Thanks everyone for keeping the mailing list alive!

BaseX 8.6.1
by Christian Grün 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Dear all, A new minor update of BaseX is available (version 8.6.1, see [1] for more details). If you use BaseX with many users in parallel, we recommend you to switch to this version, which provides an improved locking strategy for excessive parallelism. Have fun, and (just in case) a nice weekend, Christian PS: Thanks everyone for the interesting mailing list discussion on XQuery in commercial environments. The good thing: Once you convince your customers or CTOs that XQuery is an attractive alternative, and once your project is a success, they usually want to realize everything with XQuery, no matter if it makes sense... Keep on going, don't give up too early! [1] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/blob/master/CHANGELOG

Dear all, This year, there will be no BaseX Preconference Meeting in XML Prague. Sorry for that! The reason is simple: We were too busy in order to prepare ourselves for the event, look for speakers, etc. At least we are happy to announce that BaseX 8.6 will finally be released this month. Stay tuned! All the best, Christian
