Hello to our loyal readers of our list,
We are glad to announce version 9.3 of BaseX, our XML framework, database system and XQuery 3.1 processor:
The focus has been put on in-depth optimizations of complex XQuery code and faster processing of RESTXQ web applications:
RESTXQ - seamless streaming of custom responses to the client - Request Module: bind attributes to current request - better support for the OPTIONS and HEAD methods - trace output is now stored in the database logs - enforce premature HTTP response with web:error - optional GZIP compression of HTTP responses - server-side forwarding with web:forward
USER INTERFACES - GUI: project view: skip directories with .ignore file - GUI: project view: do now follow symbolic links - DBA: user panel updated to show user info - DBA: faster processing of log entries
STORAGE - hot fix for replacing single documents with namespaces - improved XQuery processing of binary resources - ADDCACHE: faster caching of single documents - WITHDB: less locking when using fn:doc
XQUERY FUNCTIONS - user:info/user:update-info: process user-specific data - db:open-id, db:open-pre: support for multiple ids - file:descendants: return descendant file paths - inspect:type: return type of a value as string - db:alter-backup: rename database backups - xslt:transform: support for catalog files
XQUERY PERFORMANCE - merge of adjacent/redundant steps in paths and predicates - removal of redundant switch, typeswitch and catch clauses - interruption of side-effecting code (Files Modul etc.) - fn:count: pre-evaluation of zero-or-one arguments - faster processing of alternative steps: a/(b,c) - rewriting of paths to simple map expressions - inlining of values in simple map expressions - flattening of nested simple map expressions - rewriting of lists to union expressions - removal of superfluous predicates
For a more comprehensive list of added and updated features. please check out our documentation: http://docs.basex.org/.
Your feedback is welcome as usual.
Have fun with the new release, Your BaseX Team
Christian, and the BaseX Team -
Congratulations on the new release! Thank you for all of your time and efforts.
Best, Bridger
