### Apps The bundled applications of the Demo Apps, Documentation, eXide, Function Docs, and Monex have all been updated to the latest versions.

Arrow operator now works correctly again in user defined functions. Fixed selection of Processing Instructions by target. Fixed a locking issue when writing temporary documents. Fixed a Transaction Closed log warning in the XML:DB API. Extensions are now also signed as part of the installer. Fixed an issue with quoted paths and white-space in Windows batch files. Node#hasChildNodes no longer includes attributes. Fixed parameter handling bugs in the functions fn:tokenize#2, and fn:tokenize#3. Fixed the handling of q and x regex flags for fn:matches, fn:replace and fn:tokenize. Fixed the fn:local-name#0, fn:name#0 and fn:namespace-uri#0 functions to correctly work with the context item. The embedded Jetty server now uses the JVM's temporary folder for temporary files. Fixed compatibility with Eclipse IDE project files. * Corrected the description of the xmldb:clear-lock function.
