Re: [Exist-open] [ANN] Release of eXist 4.0.0

[Миљан У. <mil...@gm...>]

I have not yet tested new version of eXist, but I would like to thank all members of the core eXist team and all contributors for developing eXist, making improvements, fixing bugs and being available for support.

Cheers,
Miljan



С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Мильан
