Oxygen XML Developer 16.1
Related Versions:
16.016.1
October 7, 2014
Version 16.1 of Oxygen XML Developer extended the Quick Fixes support to also
handle XML documents validated with XML Schema.
The XSLT editor helps you better understand what each XSLT instruction does by
presenting associated annotations with the description of the instruction and links
to the specification.
The Eclipse plugin version of Oxygen XML Developer was updated to support
Eclipse 4.4, the SVN support was updated to work with Apache Subversion 1.8, and
many component libraries were updated to their latest stable versions.
There are changes in:
XML
XML Quick Fixes
The Quick Fix support helps you resolve different errors that appear in
an XML document by proposing automatic fixes for common problems such as missing
required attributes or invalid elements. This feature is only available for XML
documents validated against an XML Schema.
Display Annotations Using HTML
You can use HTML styling in the annotations you add in an XML Schema or
Relax NG schema. This improves the visual appearance and readability of the
documentation and tooltip windows displayed when editing XML documents validated
against such a schema.
Execute XPath Expressions over Files Inside Archives
XPath expressions can be executed over files inside archives (including
EPUB and Docx). The archive can be open in the Archive Browser view or
referenced from the currently selected scope.
Improved External Validation Engines Error Reporting
The recognized format of messages received from an external validation
engine supports new parameters that allow more accurate highlighting of the
place in the XML content where the error is located.
CSS
CSS Minification Tool
Oxygen includes a minification tool that allows you to compress and
minimize the CSS stylesheets you are developing for deployment on a web
server.
XSLT
XSLT Outline Displays xsl:key and
xsl:output Components
The Outline view collects and displays information about the
xsl:key and xsl:output components when you
are editing an XSLT document.
Improved Documentation for XSLT Components
The documentation for XSLT components (elements, attributes and
functions) has been reviewed and improved. The documentation is now displayed
using a more readable HTML format with navigation links to the
specification.
SharePoint Integration
SharePoint Browser View
The SharePoint Browser has been promoted as a dedicated view, allowing
you to interact with SharePoint repositories through a set of specific
actions.
WebHelp
WebHelp Pages Use HTML5 Elements
WebHelp pages generated by the Oxygen transformations from DITA XML
and DocBook XML content start with an HTML5 DOCTYPE declaration. A video from a
source XML document is translated to the HTML5 video
element.
Eclipse Plugin
Support for Eclipse 4.4
The Oxygen XML Eclipse plugin now officially supports Eclipse 4.4.
Deprecated Support for Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5
Note that this is the last version of Oxygen which supports Eclipse
3.4 and 3.5. Support for these older versions will be removed starting with the
next version of Oxygen.
Other
Editor Variables to Find the Framework's Location
Two additional editor variables (framework(fr_name)
and frameworkDir(fr_name)) allow you to find the location of a
particular framework, both as URL and file path.
Single Sign-on Authentication
Oxygen supports single sign-on authentication based on the Kerberos
protocol by enabling a custom system property.
Ant Quick Fixes
Added Quick Fix support for missing target references in Ant build
documents.
Configurable Stop Words List
To improve search performance, the indexing process skips some common
short English words (so-called stop words). However, you can configure this list
of words to adapt it to your authoring team's needs.
Improved Search Results
Keywords found in DITA and DocBook titles are promoted higher in the
search result list, thus increasing the chance of finding a relevant topic much
faster.
High Contrast Themes Inheritance
On Windows operating systems, Oxygen inherits colors set in the
high contrast themes.
Allow Filtering by Unicode Blocks
The Character Map dialog box allows you to view all characters
available in a certain Unicode block range for a specific font.
Improved Modularization Support for ISO Schematron Schema
Improved the inclusion mechanism when working with ISO Schematron
modules by adding support for iso:extends element. This element
allows you to include all the components defined in a Schematron schema (such as
patterns or phases) as opposed to the standard inclusion mechanism defined in
ISO Schematron (iso:include element) that allows you to include the root element
of the included Schematron module.
SVN Client
Support for Subversion 1.8
Oxygen now supports Subversion 1.8 working copies and also SVN 1.8
FSFS-backed repositories accessed through the file:// protocol.
Starting with this version, SVN 1.6 and older working copies are no longer
supported, unless using an older version of Syncro SVN Client.
Improved Merge Support
The Merge support has been improved with ease-of-use in mind, bringing a
more user-friendly and less error-prone interface. Also, it supports
additional Merge options and it is more compliant with the svn
merge command.
Improvements and Bug Fixes
Oxygen includes various improvements and bug fixes regarding
external items, memory management, operations performance, and the user
interface.
