BaseX 12.4 ෴ The XML Prague Warmup Edition

We’ve released BaseX 12.4. It comes a bunch of new built-in XQuery functions for running queries in parallel (for-each, fork-any, reduce), for improved string similarity operations (ngrams, token set/sort ratio), new binary functions for counting & settings bits, atomic creation of databases with binary & value resources, improved encoding detection and streaming when creating ZIP archives and numerous more tweaks. Some more details:

XQUERY FUNCTIONS

• XQuery Module, parallelization: for-each, fork-any, reduce

• String Module: new functions for ngrams & token set/sort ratio

• Binary Module: bin:rotate, functions for counting & settings bits

• Database Module, DB creation: support for binary & value resources

• Archive Module: improved encoding detection, better streaming

XQUERY PERFORMANCE

• index rewritings for numeric predicates: //city[@code = 12763]

• evaluate loop-invariant predicates only once

• faster sorting of primitive value sequences

• callback functions: improved type propagation

FIXES & TWEAKS
