eXist XML Database 0.7.1 released

eXist is an Open Source native XML database with pluggable storage backends and support for fulltext search. XML is either stored in the internal, native XML-DB or an external RDBMS.

Version 0.7.1 adds new features for fulltext-searching: There's now a near-function for index-based, tolerant queries on phrases and support for regular expressions in search patterns. Some major bugs related to namespace processing have been fixed and a problem in the storage backend resulting in damaged database files has been solved.
