(Apologies for cross-posting.) eXist-db v3.1.1 was released today. This release primarily addresses bugs fixed since the release of v3.1.0 earlier this month. As detailed at http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/wiki/blogs/eXist/eXistdb311, the most important changes are: - fixed command line parameters for backup/restore and the Java admin client (partially broken in 3.1.0) - closed memory leak in XQuery map constructor - closed memory leak preventing memory used for accessing binary resources in XQuery being freed - added missing dependencies for YAJSW when installing as a System-V service - corrected fn:doc-available() to return false(), not FODC0005, when it cannot the remote resource does not return a document node - prevented an NPE when an account or a group can't be found by id due to storage corruption or a missing account or group In addition, this release includes updated versions of a number of the bundled applications: Documentation (v0.4.8), Monitoring and Profiling AKA "Monex" (v0.9.7), Shared Resources (v0.4.2). Other applications updated since the last release of eXist-db include Demo Apps (v0.4.0), Public Application Repository (v0.6.0), and XQuery Versioning Module (v1.1.2). The updated versions and their release notes are all available via the eXist-db Dashboard > Package Manager or from the eXist-db Public Application Repository <http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/apps/public-repo/index.html>. *Compatibility* - eXist-db v3.1.1 is binary-compatible with earlier releases of v3.x, but not with previous versions (v2.x).
