Congratulations Wolfgang :-)



2009/6/19 Wolfgang <wol...@ex...>:
> eXist 1.2.6 is another maintenance release, containing fixes for

> Important changes include:
>
> * automatic document defragmentation could have unpredictable results if
> nodes were updated during a query
>
> * Java service wrapper sometimes killed eXist too early, causing
> corruptions in the db (see ServiceWrapperIssues)
>
> * fixed db corruption after crash recovery
>
> * query optimizer in some cases failed to analyze called functions, thus
> causing bad performance
>
> * fixed evaluation of positional predicates with a //n abbreviated step
> (which translates to /desendant-or-self::node()/n)
>
> Like all releases in the 1.2.x series, eXist 1.2.6 is not meant to
> introduce new features (those are reserved for 1.3/1.4). The only new
> feature in 1.2.6 is support for incremental backups.
>
> I will now continue to wrap up 1.3. We still lack documentation and
> there are quite a few regressions to fix before 1.3 can be handed out.
