Just four weeks have passed, and we are proud to announce Version 6.7.1 (a.k.a. The Balisage 2011 Edition) of BaseX. Here is what you get:

XQuery:

- New database functions for adding, deleting, renaming,
  replacing documents and optimizing databases:
  docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Functions

- XSLT transformations via Java or Saxon:
  docs.basex.org/wiki/XSLT_Functions

- All XQuery 3.0 functions are now supported:
  docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_3.0

- Tail-call optimizations to speed up recursive functions

Storage:

- Use ADDARCHIVES to parse files within archives
- Use SKIPCORRUPT to skip non-well-formed files when
  creating a database: docs.basex.org/wiki/Options

- Max. level depth limit (256) removed
- The document index is now incrementally updated

GUI:

- "Manage Database" dialog now supports operations on
  multiple databases and the command-line glob syntax:
  docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands

- Drag and drop operations introduced for opening new files
  and copying file paths

Client/Server:

- Delay clients that repeatedly fail to login
- All remaining plain-text password operations now use
  MD5 to send and log passwords

More details are found in GitHub and on our mailing list.

Looking forward to your feedback, BaseX Team
