Dear all,
Aligned with the XML Prague 2016 Conference, we are more than happy to provide you with a great new version of BaseX, your XML database system and XQuery processor! These are the new features:
GUI
• Project View: all modules of the project are now parsed in the background
• Create Database, Properties: access to advanced database options
• Sort Dialog: order by column positions and locale collation
INDEXING
• New Token Index: speedy token lookups in DITA and HTML documents
• Including full support for incremental and main-memory databases
• XQuery optimizations for fn:contains-token, fn:tokenize, fn:idref
WEB APPLICATIONS
• Cancel server-side queries via %rest:single annotation
• DBA query editor: faster querying, better responsivity
XQUERY
• Database Module: ADDCACHE support (caching of large results)
• Direct output of binary data with new 'basex' serialization method
• Better XQuery 3.1 compliance: string constructors, new functions
• Java bindings: address Java functions with specific types
• User Module: create users and grant permissions in one step
DOCUMENTATION
• Many Wiki articles have been revised and updated
A big thank you to our sponsors, which made some new features possible and available to everyone, and a special shout-out to Jens Erat, who realized the new token index!

We are looking forward to your feedback,
Christian
