Dear all,
We are more than pleased to announce version 9.2 of BaseX, our XML framework, database system and XQuery 3.1 processor:
This time, we have put a special focus on performance improvements:
XQUERY PERFORMANCE - comparisons will more often be rewritten to hash joins - optimized access to subsequences and single sequence items - consistent propagation of static types to evaluation results - improved static typing of function items (maps, arrays) - more aggressive pre-evaluation at compile time
STORAGE PERFORMANCE - large databases will be opened faster - regular storage offset will be computed at runtime
GENERAL XQUERY FEATURES - no need to import basex-api modules anymore! - Archive Module: archive:create-from, new options - Database Module: directory-based access via db:dir - Profiling Module: new functions (prof:gc, prof:runtime) - Validation Module: assign XSD validation features - WebSocket Module: query scheduling via ws:eval - Utility Module: various new helper functions - XSLT Module: support for XML Catalogs (thank you Liam)
NEW OPTIONS - RESTXQERRORS: Suppress parsing errors at runtime - FULLPLAN: comprehensive query plan information
FULLTEXT FEATURES - stemmer for Arabic texts added
USER INTERFACES - GUI: better support for latest JDK versions (incl. OpenJDK) - DBA: revised search features in log panel
For a more comprehensive list of added and updated features. please check out our documentation: http://docs.basex.org/.
We are looking forward to your feedback.
Have fun with the new release, Your BaseX Team
Christian and the rest of the BaseX team,
Many thanks for the Spring Update -- I can't wait to have fun with this release!
Best, Bridger

Thanks for this.
I particularly like db:dir, which I think will help with creating performant collection-based views of databases.
I am not clear what is meant by:
- no need to import basex-api modules anymore!
Does this just mean all modules listed at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Module_Library are statically bound?

Yes, great question. We were asking this ourselves too. M.
