[oXygen-user] Initial thoughts on the 4.0 beta

Howdy all. Just a quick note to say that 4.0 looks really exciting!
I started with the XSLT debugging and found the UI layout really
innovative and intuitive. Setting a breakpoint and running to it was
pretty simple.
Other debuggers have a local variable section that let you navigate the
current context. At first I expected something similar, meaning, the
current node would appear and I could browse it. However, the oxygen
approach is better: it's already showing you the XML document, so it
scrolls the current node into view and highlights it.
I then defined a couple of variables and set a breakpoint. This worked
as expected.
Finally, defined a variable that matched on multiple nodes:
<xsl:variable name="c" select="//company|//person"/>
In the breakpoint window, I selected the variable, then in the right
window, I saw all the elements that matched. That's nice!
I also tested DAV with Zope 2 and Plone. Worked ok. Renaming a folder
failed, so I need to put in tcpwatch and see what happened.
