Today the development team released another pre-release version of eXist-db, rev14769. It contains a number of backports of "trunk". Highlights:
- bugfix: NPE when serialization options param was zero length string. Port of rev 14690
- performance: Faster sequence constructors in XQuery: old code parsed (1, 2, 3) into (1, (2, 3)). Processing this recursively eventually caused a stack overflow and was slow. Port of rev 13874, rev 13875
- bugfix: Local XMLDB API set permissions on the wrong collection - looks like this is an old bug. Port of rev 14735
The revision can be downloaded as an installer jar, exe and as a war file. Please share your experiences (bug reports, general feedback) on the exist-open mailinglist so we can release a final version soon!
