Dear XML aficionados,
We are happy to present you Version 8.0 of BaseX, our XML database
system and XQuery processor (http://basex.org). It is being released
in alignment with the XML Prague 2015 Conference. We provide you with
quite a bunch of new and exciting features:
XQUERY
- Support for XQuery 3.1 is nearly complete
- We switched to a new default serialization ("adaptive")
- Index rewritings have been improved, more precise cost estimations
- MIXUPDATES option: update items and return results at the same time
- New modules: Array and User Module
- New annotations: %basex:inline, %basex:lazy
- 13 of our modules were updated and extended
WEB APPLICATIONS
- DBA: Database Administration in the Browser
- RESTXQ: regular expressions in paths, support for quality factors
- AUTHMETHOD option: choose between Basic and Digest authentication
STORAGE
- Faster document index (storing paths to all XML documents)
- Replace documents in-place whenever possible
- Updatable index structures now take much less space
- AUTOOPTIMIZE option: optimize after each update
SECURITY
- Revised user management; users are stored as XML
- Digest authentication, Salted SHA256
- Clients in various languages updated
GUI
- Better code completions
The documentation is available at http://docs.basex.org.
We are looking forward to your feedback,
Christian
