[Alin Belu]

Hello everyone,

We are proud to announce the immediate availability of *Oxygen Content 
Fusion version 6*, as well as *Oxygen Feedback version 4* (for both the 
*Cloud* and *Enterprise* editions).

*Oxygen Content Fusion 6* introduces the new *Projects* feature, which 
allows you to *manage a DITA project hosted in a Git repository* while 
maintaining full compatibility with existing workflows and tools. New 
publishing features are also available to help authors *build WebHelp 
and PDF deliverables* and the Oxygen Styles Basket has been integrated 
to let users *visually customize the output*.

A big focus for the release of *version 4* of *Oxygen Feedback* was to 
implement various advanced search functionalities, such as *Semantic 
Search* and *Faceted Search*, that can be used when searching WebHelp 
Responsive output. These advanced search functions are made possible by 
configuring the *Oxygen Feedback Search Engine* to be the engine used by 
WebHelp.

*What's New in Oxygen Content Fusion 6*

With *version 6*, *Oxygen Content Fusion* introduces a lot of 
interesting and substantial improvements for the flexible and intuitive 
documentation platform where content authors can publish content and 
collaborate with subject matter experts in their documentation review 
process.

The new *Projects* feature provides a way to *manage a DITA project 
hosted in a Git repository* while maintaining full compatibility with 
your existing workflows and tools without the need for any type of 
migration. *Authors can create review tasks inside a project *and 
*reviewers' feedback is tracked on a dedicated branch* in the Git 
repository.

Additionally, this newest version brings new publishing capabilities for 
creating *WebHelp and PDF deliverables*. Users can also leverage a range 
of *built-in templates to adjust the look and feel of these 
deliverables*, and the Oxygen Styles Basket has been integrated to 
provide a way for the users to *visually customize the output*.

Furthermore, review task owners now have the *option to close reviews* 
temporarily, giving them time to address feedback and make necessary 
changes before integrating content into the project. Enhancements were 
also made to the Content Fusion user interface to improve navigation and 
streamline workflows.

The release also includes bug fixes, security enhancements, and updates 
to various internal components.

*What's New in Oxygen Feedback 4*

*Version 4* of *Oxygen Feedback* offers new enhancements for both its 
*Cloud* and *Enterprise* editions of the solution that empowers content 
by elevating community engagement.

A big focus for this release was to implement various advanced search 
functionalities that can be used when searching WebHelp Responsive 
output. These advanced search functions are made possible by configuring 
the *Oxygen Feedback Search Engine* to be used as the search engine for 
your WebHelp output.

One of the advanced functions that can be utilized is *Semantic Search*, 
an advanced search technique that improves the accuracy and relevance of 
search results by analyzing the context of the search query, rather than 
relying solely on keyword matching. Additionally, publishers can 
configure *Faceted Search* functionality in the WebHelp output, enabling 
users to refine their search results by applying multiple filters that 
correspond to different facets of the information that they are seeking.

The introduction of *Labels* in the WebHelp output makes it effortless 
to find topics with the same label. Furthermore, the integration with 
the *Oxygen Feedback Search Engine* supports advanced query syntax, 
giving users the ability to create complex and flexible queries that 
generate precise search results.

Additionally, site admins can conveniently view the number of positive 
and negative votes received for a specific page directly in the output. 
A new ratings information page within the admin interface displays the 
number of votes and messages for each documentation page, including the 
content of each message. Also, site admins can easily navigate to the 
ratings information page directly from their email notifications. 
Furthermore, a new checkbox can be displayed in the output when a user 
provides negative feedback, indicating their preference to be contacted 
by email for additional information if needed.

This version also includes various component updates and bug fixes.
