Excellent news! I notice that the > # Options for virtual machine (can be extended by global options) > BASEX_JVM="-Xmx16g $BASEX_JVM" line is gone, it seems generally, from the* *startup scripts.
https://docs.basex.org/main/Start_Scripts continues to reference setting -Xmx. Is there a new place to do this or is it expected to not be required with 12? Thanks!
