[ANN] Qizx 4.0 released

[Olivier Ishacian <olivier@xmlmind.com>]

Qizx is an embeddable, high-speed, native XML
indexing and query engine written in Java(TM),
with the querying and processing capabilities of
a fully fledged XML Query implementation.


===  What is new in version 4.0:  ===

* Qizx Server is a ready to use server module
   allowing remote clients to execute queries
   and retrieve results through simple HTTP
   REST-style protocols:

   - API service provides the main capabilities of
     the Qizx engine. Clients send their own queries.

   - XQuery Services is a mechanism for calling
     stored queries and passing parameters.
     It can implement a business logic middle tier
     or lightweight Web Services-like applications.

* Partial support of XQuery Scripting.

* Qizx now requires Java 5 or above.

Qizx is available in several editions:

* The commercial product has 3 liberal licenses
   both for corporate application development, and
   for royalty-free distributable products.

* The Free Engine edition is a fully functional
   version of Qizx which can be used for developing
   or in production.  It is limited in database
   size (one gigabyte of XML approximately).

* Qizx/open is an open-source version of the XML
   Query interpreter of Qizx.  Qizx/open has been
   available since 2003 and is recognized as one
   of the most advanced and fastest XML Query
   implementations.
