What is new in <oXygen/> XML Editor
11.2March 16, 2010
Version 11.2 of <oXygen/> XML Editor improves the XML Author, the XML
development tools, the support for large documents and the SVN
Client.
There are changes in:
Author ComponentAuthor Component Integration An Author page is available as a component that can
be integrated in your Java application or applet. All features
available for editing in the <oXygen/> XML Editor Author page
are also available in the Author component. See
demonstration and more details here. Please
note that the demonstration requires Java 6 and it works only on
Windows and Linux. Author for DITASupport for Reusable Components A fragment of a topic can be extracted in a separate file
for reuse in different topics. The component can be reused by
inserting an element with a conref attribute where
the content of the component is needed. This works without any additional
configuration and supports any DITA specialization. Content References Management The DITA framework includes actions for adding, editing and
removing a content reference (conref,
conkeyref, conrefend
attributes) to/from an existing element. Fast Loading of DITA Maps A new schema caching mechanism allows to quickly open large
DITA Maps and their referred topics. Author Editing ModePreserve Formatting for Unchanged Elements A new option allows formating and saving only the modified
elements. This keeps the formating of the other elements for easy
comparing of two versions of the file in a versioning
system. Schema-aware editing improvements In case when multiple recovery strategies are validated by
the schema information a dialog appears presenting the available
recovery alternatives. The dialog also allows to evecute the
original action unchanged with the notice that the result will be
invalid according with the schema. Author APIUpdate the Outline View The current selection can be accessed and set in the
Outline view from custom extensions of an Author
framework. Customize the Outline View The popup menu and the displaying and filtering of the tree
nodes can be customized in the Outline view with an extension of an
Author framework. Customize the Breadcrumb The text displayed in the nodes list of the Breadcrumb and
the popup menu of the Breadcrumb can be customized with an extension
of an Author framework. Update the Status Bar The user can be notified about the state of an
operation by updating the <oXygen/> status bar. This is usually
preferable to displaying a dialog box. Text Editing ModeImproved Handling of Large Documents The support for large documents has been improved so that
the opening and editing of large documents are faster. <oXygen/> can
now also open documents with very long lines by using automatic line
wrapping. Customizable Font Styles for Syntax Highlighting A font style (bold/italic) and a background color can be
set for any token (element, attribute, text, etc.) that is displayed in an editor
in Text mode. XSLT and XQueryDebug XPath Expressions Now the XSLT Debugger is capable to step into XPath 2.0
expressions when using the bundled Saxon-HE/PE/EE XSLT
processor. XQuery 1.1 Transformations Saxon 9 EE bundled with <oXygen/> can be used to run
XQuery 1.1 transformations. New ToolsNew Spell Checker Hunspell (the engine used by OpenOffice, Mozilla and
others) is now used by <oXygen/> for spell checking. <oXygen/>
ships with dictionaries for English, German, French and Spanish
but users can also install others from the almost 100 dictionaries
available for Hunspell. The old spell checking engine remains
available. Hexadecimal Viewer <oXygen/> includes a hexadecimal viewer. Plugins APIWorkspace Access Plugin A new type of plugin was added. This plugin provides
support for customizing the menus, toolbars and views of the
application and for opening and closing documents. It is active in
both Text mode and Author mode of all opened
documents. Mark Resource Read-Only A resource opened with a custom protocol plugin can be
marked as read-only. It can be used when opening resources from a
CMS (Content Management System). Open Redirect Plugin This type of plugin is useful for opening more than one
file with only one open action. For example when a zip archive or an
ODF file or an OOXML file is opened in the Archive Browser view the
plugin can decide to open also a file from the archive in a new XML
editor panel, like the document.xml main file from an OOXML file
archive. SVN ClientFaster Working Copy Load Time A working copy is cached, so when it is loaded next time in
the Working Copy view, the operation will be much faster than in the
previous versions of Syncro SVN Client. Automatic Refresh of the Working Copy The working copy is automatically refreshed every time
Syncro SVN Client gains focus, if changes are detected in the file
system. This is done in order to update the state of the resources
modified by external applications. More Responsive Repository Browsing You can configure the repository connections timeout and
stop non-responsive repository browsing operations. Better Handling for Obstructed Resources Operations correctly take into account obstructed
resources. Print or Save as Image a Revision Graph Generated revision graphs can be printed or saved as
images. Component UpdatesUpdated DITA Open Toolkit DITA Open Toolkit was updated to version 1.5.1 M1. It
includes a speed improvement implemented by caching the grammar pool
used for transforming DITA files. Updated TEI P5 Framework The TEI P5 schemas were updated to version 1.6.0. The TEI
XSL stylesheets were updated to version 5.29. Updated Saxon 9 Processor The Saxon 9 XSLT/XQuery processor was updated to version
9.2.0.6. Updated Libxml and Libxslt Libraries The Libxml library was updated to version 2.7.6. The
Libxslt library was updated to version 1.1.26. Updated Calabash XProc processor The Calabash XProc was updated to version
0.9.19. Updated CSS Validator The W3C CSS Validator was updated to version
2.0. |
