[xquery-talk] [ANN] BaseX 6.6: XMLPrague Release

[Christian Grün]

Dear all,

we are particularly proud to announce the release of BaseX 6.6, which
was released for the XMLPrague conference. It offers many new
features, such as:

-- full support for Higher Order Functions, introduced with XQuery 3.0
(dynamic function invocation, inlined functions, etc.),
-- native support of the EXPath ZIP and HTTP specifications and other
new XQuery modules,
-- a new COPY Command to clone existing databases,
-- revised CSV and text importers for different encoding and XML formats,
-- additional XQuery 3.0 features (decimal-format and context item
declarations, formatting functions, etc.), and
-- numerous speedups, reduced memory consumption and stability fixes
for XQuery and XQuery Update operations.

Feel free to download our release from http://basex.org, or check out
our project page at GitHub for the latest sources.

All the best,

Christian
BaseX Team, 2011
