[Exist-open] [ANN} Release of eXist-db 6.4.0

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Dear eXist-db Community,

I'd like to share the announcement that Juri Leino posted earlier today on
Slack [1].

Best,
Joe

--

We are happy to announce that version 6.4.0 of eXist-db was released last
week [2]. It is a small feature release that addresses three breaking
regressions that were discovered in 6.3.0. We recommend that all users of
eXist-db 6.0.0-6.3.0 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 get it out! These include Leif-Jöran Olsson,
Wolfgang Meier, Dannes Wessels, 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 [2].

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