The fourth maintenance release of ArangoDB 2.8 is available for download. On the other note, one of our core developers, Michael Hackstein @mchacki , did a 6h long hands-on workshop for our community in Denmark, where participants learned how to build an “eBay-style” application using ArangoDB JavaScript Framework – Foxx.
