Dear all,

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
   and replacing documents, and optimizing databases:
   http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Functions
 - XSLT transformations via Java or Saxon:
   http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XSLT_Functions
 - All XQuery 3.0 functions are now supported:
   http://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: http://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:
   http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands#Glob_Syntax
 - 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 on our homepage [1], in GitHub [2] and on our
basex-talk mailing list [3].

Always looking forward to your feedback,

Christian
