BaseX 8.5: The Summer Edition

Dear all,

A new Summer Edition of BaseX is available! Our XML database system and XQuery 3.1 processor provides the following new stunning features:

DATABASE JOBS - all registered database jobs are now centrally administered - jobs can be scheduled (periodical execution, start/end time) - job results can be cached and retrieved later on - new Jobs Module: XQuery functions for managing jobs - new commands: JOBS [LIST|RESULT|STOP] - DBA: visualization of currently registered jobs

XQUERY - parallel execution via xquery:fork-join (thank you, James Wright!) - alignments with the latest changes in the XQuery 3.1 specification - easy chaining of update operations with the 'update' keyword - numerous optimizations, smarter rewritings and heuristics

XQUERY MODULES - File, Conversion, Fetch Module: handling of invalid XML characters - Inspection Module: inspect:function-annotations added

OPTIONS - LOGPATH: custom path for logging data - CACHETIMEOUT: timeout for dropping cached job results - AUTHMETHOD: custom added to skip authentication

Christian BaseX Team
