Change Log

A big thank you to @lguariento for quickly testing and alerting us to the two issues.

Bug Fixes

1. Allow the filter functions used by the extract functions of the Compression Module to accept an xs:anyURI for their $path argument instead of an xs:string. This behaviour was undocumented in eXist-db, but it is used by the eXist-db Package Service App (see: eXist-db/existdb-packageservice#27). Restores compatibility with eXist-db 6.3.0 - #58

2. Allow Strings that contain entities to be correctly stored in fields within the Lucene Full Text Index - #59

Change Log

A big thank you to @aljopainter, @lguariento, and @ahenket, for testing and submitting issues.

Features

1. Allow the redirect type to be specified in the URL Rewrite Controller - #13 (Closes issue: eXist-db/exist#5038)
