I am pleased to announce a new release of eXist Open Source XML Database. Version 0.7 is available for download at http://exist-db.org. This release represents a major step forward with respect to stability and performance. The list of changes is quite long, please refer to http://exist-db.org/changes.html for a complete list. The most important changes include: The native storage backend is now secure for concurrent write access by multiple clients. The performance bottleneck experienced in earlier versions when indexing large document collections has been fixed. Scalability has improved. Storage sizes for nodes and indexes have been substantially reduced. All indexes are now organized on a collection basis resulting in a considerable performance gain when querying large collections. Additionally, the new version contains improved APIs, many bugfixes, experimental support for XSL on the server and a number of minor feature additions. eXist is an Open Source native XML database with pluggable storage backends and support for fulltext search. XML is either stored in the internal, native XML-DB or an external RDBMS. The search engine has been designed to provide fast XPath queries, using indexes for all element, text and attribute nodes. eXist is lightweight and well suited for large document collections. The server is accessible through easy to use HTTP and XML-RPC interfaces and supports the XML:DB API for Java programming.
