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!

Hi Christian,
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:

Hi Christian,
What about redo logs and master/slave replication?

...noted ;) Replication is indeed one of the features that we have already realized (but it's not open source yet).

To put some numbers on query precompilation [3]. I have been using Apache ab to time a very simple RESTXQ request
declare %rest:GET %rest:path("bsp/simple") %output:method("text") function simple() {"test"};
ab -n 100 -c 10 http://localhost:8984/bsp/simple
I timed this when my webapp folder had a large number of unrelated, and uncalled, RESTXQ folders and apps and I get *1.77 requests / second*. If I remove all these, to leave just the one simple() function I get *366 requests / second*. (This later figure is not that far from what I get serving from /static.)
