CWI released a new version of its high-performance open-source XML database system MonetDB/XQuery on 3 February 2007. The main new feature of this release is support for transactional safe updating of XML documents using the XQuery Update Facility (XQUF). XQuery has reached the W3C Recommendation status, while XQUF is currently a Working Draft.
The new version of MonetDB/XQuery also enables distributed XML querying, adds a SOAP API (application programming interface), and makes many performance and functional improvements. Visit monetdb.cwi.nl for more information and downloads.
