In the midst of summertime, we provide you with a great new version of BaseX, our XML database system and XQuery 3.0 processor! You can expect the following features:
XQUNIT
- Unit testing has been improved a lot. All test functions will now be evaluated separately; this way, updates can be performed within test.
- with the new TEST command, all test modules in a specified directory can be evaluated.
- tests can be invoked from within the GUI editor and project view.
- on command-line, the -t flag can be used for the same purpose.
RESTXQ
- Custom HTTP methods can be defined via %rest:method
- Error handling has been improved and aligned with try/catch
REST
- The “run” operation allows execution of server-side command scripts
DATABASE MODULE
- parsing options added to db:create, db:add and db:replace
As usual, various minor bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed in the latest version; check out our documentation and the GitHub history for more details!
The latest version is available at basex.org. We are looking forward to your feedback!
