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. |
