Hi all,

things are moving forward again; the latest minor release of BaseX 6.3.1 contains a bunch of improved features; we've revised our APIs, and we have added improved language support to XQuery Full Text. Next, we're doing our best to improve the availability of all BaseX features, many of which are just too hidden to be noticed by everyone, and to work on the documentation. Finally, we're glad to announce that we've successfully created the infrastructure to offer commercial requests and professional support on BaseX. The project itself will remain open source, of course. More is to come..

Here's the latest changelog (which is now available on the homepage as well):

[ADD] Fulltext: Built-in support for Snowball, Wordnet, and Lucene stemmers [ADD] Fulltext: Internal German stemmer added [ADD] REST: support for hierarchical collections added; details will follow [ADD] REST/GET: bind parameter added to enable external variable bindings [ADD] REST/POST: <variable/> and <output/> elements added [ADD] APIs: bind(), execute() & info() added to query iterator [ADD] APIs: add() implemented for adding documents to existing databases [MOD] REST: start was simplified; just launch basex-api/etc/basexrest(.bat) [MOD] JAX-RX: latest version was moved to our BaseX SVN repository [MOD] Warning: start class BaseXWin was renamed to BaseXGUI [MOD] Work on the upcoming Windows installer [FIX] XQuery: improved handling of extended kind tests in sequence types [FIX] XQuery 3.0 functions (e.g. format-integer()) [FIX] XQuery Update, Namespaces, collections [FIX] GUI: realtime filtering
