eXist-db 6.2.0 has been released

February 4, 2023

Submitted by Adam Retter.

I am very happy to let you know that eXist-db 6.2.0 has just been
released. It is a small incremental improvement over 6.1.0 that fixes
a couple of regressions that were discovered almost immediately after
the 6.1.0 release.

Full Changelog:

https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/compare/eXist-6.1.0...eXist-6.2.0

eXist-db 6.2.0 is backwards binary compatible with previous 6.x.x versions, which should make upgrading simple with no changes required to XQuery or XSLT application code. For those users migrating from 4.x.x or 5.x.x versions to 6.x.x a full backup and restore of the database will be required and possibly some small changes to XQuery and XSLT application code. Please review previous releases' notes for detailed information.

On a personal note, I would like to dedicate this release to my mother Christine McCrorie who recently passed away. Christine supported my
work on eXist-db, not least of all by helping to proof read and edit my text for the O'Reilly eXist book. Today would have been our birthday. Happy Birthday Mum!.

Kind regards. Adam.
