eXist-db 4.7.1

v4.7.1 - August 13, 2019

This is a bug fix release addressing some important issues.

Bug Fixes

• Disable a bad XQuery optimization affecting multi-step path expressions like /a/b//c[d = 123] with descendant axis step and range index defined on c. The main optimizations will still work.
• Java admin client kept files up to 64M in memory, resulting in out of memory errors during backup/restore. Limit the max size to 4M
• Fix for macOS startup without Oracle JDK 8
• eXist was leaking file handles when loading XQuery modules from an expath package
• Fix unattended installation, enable configurable data directory
• Java Admin Client should be able to change logged in account password via XML:DB Remote and re-connect
• Fix a couple of issues in LDAP

Maven Central: https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.exist-db

eXist-db 4.7.0

v4.7.0 - May 19, 2019

This release closes a major memory leak introduced in 4.6.0 and removes a deadlock condition.

Features

• Update to Tika version 1.20 for content extraction module and fix some related bugs
• Add in-memory buffer to solve performance issue accessing remote eXist via XML:DB API
• Update EXQuery RESTXQ to 0.1.34, fixes parsing issues with Accept and Content-Type HTTP headers

Bug Fixes

• XML serializer leaking memory
• Fix deadlock: memory size from the collection does not need a READ_LOCK, it is an estimate anyway
• Test suite was not correctly reporting failing tests
• Fix ByteArrayPool and CharArrayPool memory leaks
• Fix problems with computed namespace construction
• When loading XQuery modules dynamically, declared global variables were not analyzed properly
• Switch out org.exist.util.hashtable implementation for FastUtil. eXist's implementations have problems with hash-collisions and chaining
• Allow for passing options for ft:search queries. This allows to perform leading-wildcard queries on computed index fields
• Fix arrow operator and higher order functions: context sequence passed incorrectly
• Fix broken XQuery Update for 'insert following'
• Fix ArrayOutOfBoundsException querying doc with enclosed expression and fn:id function
• Fix EXPath HTTP Client - Previously when override-media-type was set and a charset was specified, the charset was ignored
• Fix an issue introduced by PR #2367: a lucene index configured with a match attribute should only be created for nodes matching the path, not all descendant nodes

eXist-db 5.0.0-RC7

v5.0.0-RC7 - March 2, 2019

eXist-db 5.0.0-RC7 is a hotfix release. Unfortunately the code restructuring performed in v5.0.0-RC6 caused failures in the Java Service Wrapper.
This will especially impact Windows users, who typically start and stop eXist-db as a service. Using a service is the only way on Windows
to ensure eXist-db is properly stopped on system shutdown. We thus consider this critical and published a hotfix.

Bug Fixes

• fix classpath for yajsw Java service wrapper
• fix jnlp webstart for Java admin client
• fix test failures depending on github location
• small fix to util:log functions to output string values without leading and closing quote

eXist-db 4.6.1

v4.6.1 - March 2, 2019

eXist-db 4.6.1 is a hotfix release. Unfortunately the code restructuring performed in v4.6.0 caused failures in the Java Service Wrapper.
