BaseX 9.6.4: Tweaks, Fixes & Thank Yous
Dear all, We conclude this year with yet another release of BaseX, our XML framework, database and XQuery processor [1]. The new version contains new performance tweaks and minor bug fixes, the details of which can be examined on our GitHub page [2]. As we’ve got numerous inquiries regarding Log4j: I can comfort you that BaseX is not affected by the vulnerabilities. We have our own logging mechanism, which has no built-in code execution features. The same applies to the Jetty web server. Log4j once again demonstrates that Open Source is everywhere, and that it takes valuable time and resources to build professional and secure software. We send out a big thank you to those of you who are (and have been) supporting us by paying for maintenance, sponsoring new features and giving donations. It’s you who is keeping BaseX both alive and up to date! Have a good time, Christian [1] https://basex.org [2] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/commits/master

Great, a new release to explore during the holiday season. Now waiting for Saxonica to deliver Saxon Java 11 as another gift for the holiday season. And then checking to see what breaks if Saxon 11 as an XSLT processor in BaseX is used to run XSLT 4.
And I would like to conclude this year with yet another thank you for a fantastic product which in my professional life serves as a bicycle, a car, a truck, a train, a ship, an airplane and a space craft - whatever it takes to translate a mental move from A to B into practice.

Thanks again Christian & BaseX team! Never enough of saying it! Whenever trying to explaining why OSS is the way to go, I cite your product along with Blender as most valuable examples! Happy 2021 ending and a normal 2022 to all of you! M. On 17/12/21 10:17, Christian Grün wrote:
