eXist Solutions GmbH today released eXist LTS version 2.1.6. Since the introduction of Long Term Support (LTS) in January 2014 this is already the 6th quality release of cherry-picked improvements. LTS releases contain all important fixes and enhancements from the develop branch of eXist while maintaining full backwards compatibility within the 2.1 production-ready branch. 

eXist LTS addresses the needs of enterprise-scale users that require a reliable and supported version of the open source version. With LTS, customers can easily stay up to date without taking the risk of building from the development branch, which may break existing code or introduce untested features.

Apart from various bug fixes, LTS 2.1.6 focuses on query performance and improvements to the backup system. 

eXist LTS is available as a subscription at http://exist-db.org. Subscribers may download version 2.1.6 from the Customer Portal.

LTS 2.1.5 Released

eXist LTS 2.1.5 was released today by eXist Solutions GmbH. This bugfix release mainly addresses an issue where a user accounts was not properly reloaded during restore. When restoring from a backup, the internal cache for user accounts was not updated which led to restore failures ("wrong admin password" and other errors).

The release was preponed in favor to the upcoming eXist LTS 2.1.6 release to ensure the stability of our customers production systems.

As always the eXist LTS 2.1.5 release is via the LTS Customer Portal.

The release mainly focuses on performance enhancements like the faster insertion or addition of nodes using update extensions and impovements of the eXist Optimizer. Other changes like improved error messages and standard error codes also focus on the needs of enterprise-scale users that require a reliable and supported version of the eXistdb open source version.
