Dear all,

once more, we are proud to announce a new version of BaseX!
And once more, we can provide you with a whole bunch of
new features:

* Our value indexes now support string-based range queries:
 http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Indexes#Value_Indexes
 A big thank you to our sponsors who made this possible!

* Our new XQJ API is based on Charles Foster's implementation.
 It fully utilizes the client/server architecture:
 http://xqj.net/basex

* Import of XQuery modules has been simplified:
 http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Repository

* Simplified invocation of Java code from XQuery:
 http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Java_Bindings

* Full support for the XQuery 3.0 Regular Expressions syntax:
 http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/#regex-syntax

* Updating functions can now return values:
 http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Module#db:output

* Unified handling of document and database URIs:
 http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Databases#Access_Resources

* Pinning of opened database replaced by filesystem locking:
 http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Transaction_Management#Locking

* REST, RESTXQ, WebDav: concurrency issues fixed

As usual, we are looking to your feedback. Have fun,

Christian
