BaseX & XQuery 3.1: Arrays
by Christian Grün 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

Dear all, As you may have heard, XQuery 3.1 will not only provide maps (which have been around in BaseX for quite a while now) but also arrays... And we are pleased to announce that, since today, arrays are available in BaseX! Some of the new features are documented in our Wiki: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_3.1 http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Array_Module Please note that the XQuery 3.1 spec. is at an early stage and subject to change, but the implementation is already fully functional, and we are looking forward to receiving your first feedback. The latest 8.0 snapshot is now available at: http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/ Have fun, Christian

BaseX 7.9: The Summer Edition
by Christian Grün 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Dear subscribers, in the midst of summertime, we provide you with a great new version of BaseX, our XML database system and XQuery 3.0 processor! This is what you get: XQUNIT - Unit testing has been improved a lot. All test functions will now be evaluated separately; this way, updates can be performed within test. - with the new TEST command, all test modules in a specified directory can be evaluated. - tests can be invoked from within the GUI editor and project view. - on command-line, the -t flag can be used for the same purpose. RESTXQ - Custom HTTP methods can be defined via %rest:method - Error handling has been improved and aligned with try/catch REST - The "run" operation allows execution of server-side command scripts DATABASE MODULE - parsing options added to db:create, db:add and db:replace As usual, various minor bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed in the latest version; check out our documentation and the GitHub history for more details! The latest version is available at http://basex.org. We are looking forward to your feedback, Christian BaseX Team

Moving to Java 7
by Christian Grün 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

And another note on the future of BaseX: BaseX 7.8.x and (possibly) BaseX 7.9 will be the last versions based on Java 6. With BaseX 8.0, we'll switch - and we have already switched - to Java 7. We have chosen to move on because the official support for Java 6 has ended quite a while ago. Next, Java 7, gives us much better OS support for local file operations and numerous other minor features that allow us to further improve the performance and quality of BaseX. I hope you all will be able to move on with us; have fun, Christian

Hi Andy, > These sound like very useful features. Regarding [1] Do you see this > feature, or something close, becoming part of a future standard XQuery > update standard? 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 > > /Andy > > > On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 12:03 PM, Christian Grün <christian.gruen(a)gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> 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].

BaseX: Upcoming Features
by Christian Grün 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

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! Christian [1] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/873 [2] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/878 [3] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/874 [4] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/tree/issue873
