Dear all,

Welcome to our first BaseX 9.01 maintenance release:

http://basex.org/

An update is highly recommended: The major release had a critical bug, regarding the storage of short non-ASCII Unicode strings.

This is the 9.0.1 changelog:

CRITICAL BUG FIXES * Storage: short strings with extended Unicode characters fixed * XQuery: nested path optimizations reenabled (e.g. in functions) * XQuery: map:merge, size computation fixed * XQuery: node ordering across multiple database instances fixed

IMPROVEMENTS * GUI: Better Java 9 support (DPI scaling, font rendering) * XQuery, collections: faster document root tests * New R client. Thanks Ben Engbers! * Linux: exec command used in startup scripts

MINOR BUG FIXES * XQuery: Allow interruption of tail-call function calls * XQuery, HTTP parsing of content-type parameters * XQuery, restrict rewriting of filter to path expression * GUI: progress feedback when creating databases via double-click

Have fun everyone, Christian
