May 16, 2025

Submitted by Lars Windauer.

The eXist-db community is happy to announce that version 6.4.0 of eXist-db was released last week. It is a small feature release that addresses three breaking regressions that were discovered in 6.3.0. We recommended all users of eXist-db 6.0.0-6.3.0 to upgrade to version 6.4.0.

Important facts:

  • DMG and installers are now signed by eXist Solutions GmbH and
  • Docker images and the DMG run natively on arm Macs and x86 platforms

Thanks to all who helped getting it out! Juri Leino, Leif-Jöran Olsson, Wolfgang Meier, Dannes Wessel, Duncan Paterson, Patrick Reinhart, Olaf Schreck and everyone else who contributed in any other way like posting issues and testing.

For more detailed information please have a look at the release notes

This marks the last planned update to exist-db 6 and we will now shift focus on version 7
