Make a new release for eXist-db 6.4.0+ #66

Description

@tgraham-antenna

The current 1.1.4 release does not work with eXist-db 6.4.0. I had to install Maven and then build my own snapshot to get a working versioning module.

Since I was updating from eXist-db 3.0rc2 to eXist-db 6.4.0 (i.e., a long time after I set up the previous database), the sequence was more like:

  1. Find that versioning wasn't happening
  2. Confirm in the documentation that the collection.xconf syntax was still correct
  3. Search the documentation to find in the eXist-db 3.0 release notes that versioning is a separate module
  4. Install version 1.1.4
  5. Stack traces
  6. Grep the jars to see if the unfound method is a classpath problem
  7. Search the eXist-db source code and commit history to confirm that APIs have changed and when
  8. Clone the xquery-versioning-module Git repository
  9. Install Maven
  10. Build the module
  11. Install the module
  12. Versioning is working
