Dear Marco,
I’d love to give you a final release date for Version 9.0, but it’s too early to do so. XML Prague would have been a great event for the next release, but we simply had too many other things in the past months. As a matter of fact, no one is willing to pay for pure open source development.
However, the good news is that I definitely plan to do more Open Source again in 2018. I have already spent lots of efforts to revise the optimization and static typing engine of BaseX. I invite you to use our snapshot during development, and give early feedback whenever you experience unexpected behavior.
All the best, Christian

Hi Christian & team,
since XML Prague 18 is approaching I remembered that there used to be this wonderful habit of releasing a new BaseX version for the event :-).
I am wondering whether there are any timing plans for the 9.0 release.
In particular we are eager to test the new features [1] and [2].
Thank you for any updates on the matter and please continue with your incredible work!
Best regards,
Marco.
