  • v5.0.0-RC7 Changes

    March 02, 2019

    v5.0.0-RC7 - March 2, 2019

    🚑 eXist-db 5.0.0-RC7 is a hotfix release. Unfortunately the code restructuring performed in v5.0.0-RC6 caused failures in the Java Service Wrapper.
    🏁 This will especially impact Windows users, who typically start and stop eXist-db as a service. Using a service is the only way on Windows
    🚑 to ensure eXist-db is properly stopped on system shutdown. We thus consider this critical and published a hotfix.

    🐛 Bug Fixes

    • 🛠 fix classpath for yajsw Java service wrapper
    • 🛠 fix jnlp webstart for Java admin client

    🐛 Bug Fixes

    • XML serializer leaking memory
    • 🛠 Fix deadlock: memory size from the collection does not need a READ_LOCK, it is an estimate anyway
    • ✅ Test suite was not correctly reporting failing tests
    • 🛠 Fix ByteArrayPool and CharArrayPool memory leaks
    • 🛠 Fix problems with computed namespace construction
    • When loading XQuery modules dynamically, declared global variables were not analyzed properly
    • Switch out org.exist.util.hashtable implementation for FastUtil. eXist's implementations have problems with hash-collisions and chaining
    • 👍 Allow for passing options for ft:search queries. This allows to perform leading-wildcard queries on computed index fields
    • 🛠 Fix arrow operator and higher order functions: context sequence passed incorrectly
    • 🛠 Fix broken XQuery Update for 'insert following'
    • 🛠 Fix ArrayOutOfBoundsException querying doc with enclosed expression and fn:id function
    • 🛠 Fix EXPath HTTP Client - Previously when override-media-type was set and a charset was specified, the charset was ignored
    • 🛠 Fix an issue introduced by PR #2367: a lucene index configured with a match attribute should only be created for nodes matching the path, not all descendant nodes
