I have updated the code base and the snapshots [2]; your example should work again!

Dear BaseX-team,

is there a problem concerning the update facility? Or do I have a blackout? Suddenly it seems as if the facility did not any more change files.

doc.xml: <a>   <b>XXX</b> </a>

replaceValue.xq: replace value of node //b with 'YYY'

call: basex -u  -i doc.xml replaceValue.xq

=> no change

Working on Windows 7, build  8.0 beta 6cedb1a (latest shapshot)

Cheers, Hans-Jürgen
