Hi Marco, hi all,
Good news: BaseX 9 will be released this month.
We have just finished the »persistent jobs« feature: Queries can additionally be registered as persistent jobs, which will be scheduled for evaluation whenever the BaseX server or BaseX HTTP server is started [1]. As already indicated in Github [2], we have postponed the Websockets feature to BaseX 9.1. There are still various competing approaches that we want to sort out first. Let’s see which one will win the trophy.
Thanks to those of you who are giving us continuous feedback on our latest snapshots!
Christian
