Hi all,

we are glad to announce BaseX 7.0.1, which is basically the result of your initial feedback on 7.0. Those are the most important changes:

DISTRIBUTIONS: - Windows installer was updated to support latest features - ZIP file was updated (initial config & directories added) - Short directory names are chosen if config file resides in app.dir. - Start scripts have been improved

XQUERY: - much faster execution of count() when applied to opened databases

SERVER (http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup_Options#BaseX_HTTP_Server): - Flag -c connects to an existing database server - Flag -s specifies a port for stopping the HTTP server (Jetty) - Flag -S starts the HTTP server as a service - running write operations will be completed before server is stopped

API: - Ruby, Python, PHP, Java: clients updated
