[ANN] Qizx 4.1 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 4.1:

* Qizx Server can now be installed in a few clicks
     thanks to a control tool that supports https, user
     accounts, handling of Windows services and firewall.
     This tool uses a bundled Jetty 7 server.

* Support of more XQuery 1.1 features: function items
     (functions as objects), switch, standard try/catch,
     trigonometric functions.

* Support of non-XML documents: any kind of text or
     binary data can be stored in Qizx databases in a
     new type of document.
     Metadata properties can be set on non-XML documents
     and queried in the same way as for XML documents.

* Scalability improvements: Qizx 4.1 has been tested
     on very large databases (> 100 million documents) and
     optimized.
     A new "XL" build allows storing very large XML
     documents (over 2 Gb and up to 1000 Gb).

Qizx is available in several editions:

* The commercial product has 3 liberal licenses
     both for corporate application development, and

* 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).

     Query interpreter of Qizx.  Qizx/open has been
     available since 2003 and is recognized as one
