I am pleased to announce that version 0.4 of eXist has been released. eXist is a database and retrieval engine for XML documents. It provides pluggable storage backends, storing XML either in a relational database or using a native backend. eXist has it's own XPath implementation with fulltext support. The new version is available at http://exist.sourceforge.net. Changes since version 0.3: * new native backend which uses sequential files and btrees for the indexes. * added support for PostgreSQL as storage backend. * enhanced DOM to handle namespaces, comments and processing instructions. * entities are preserved. * bug fixes to better support MS WIN. Until a comparable, pure Java implementation is available, the native backend uses the Java API to Berkeley DB for the btrees. Berkeley DB is a well known C-Library on Unix systems and also supports MS Win. The new backend is very fast when retrieving document content, because all nodes are stored in document order inside a sequential file. Whole documents or larger parts of them may be retrieved in very short time. Loading documents into the database will be faster, too.
