[oXygen-user] oXygen 6 beta

[George Cristian Bina]

Hello everybody,

The *best version of <oXygen/> ever* is ready for a first run :). We 
just uploaded a beta build of the new oXygen 6 at the URLs below [1].
Please give it a try and let us know your feedback.

The first main new feature is the *schema visual diagram*. Strong points 
are:
  - support for both *XML Schemas* and *Relax NG schemas*
  - side by side source and diagram presentation
  - source and diagram are synchronized in *real time* (no background 
parsing)
  - print and save as image support

Another important feature is the *diff and merge* support (available 
only from the standalone distributions). It is in fact a *complete diff 
and merge solution featuring
  - 6 diff algorithms (*XML Accurate*, *XML Fast*, *Syntax Aware*, 
*Line* level, *Word* level and *Character* level)
  - both *file and directory* comparison and merging
  - a nice GUI presentation of the diff results with *change guide 
lines* and *synchronized scrolling*
  - support for automatic selection of the diff algorithm
  - the possibility to *go into details* at word or character level on 
the found modifications
  - *editing* any of the documents directly in the diff GUI
  - easy invocation of the diff from the project panel
and more.

The third main feature is the import support from a number of external 
data sources like
  - any JDBC enabled database
  - comma, space, tab, semicolon separated text files
  - Excel sheets

Of course there are a lot of other features, like XML Signature support 
(sign and verify), XML Canonicalization support, the possibility to 
define proxy namespace mappings for the XPath evaluations, support for 
the latest Saxon 8.4 for XSLT 2.0, improvements in the performance and 
in the user interaction and more.

Enjoy, and do not forget to send us feedback ;) !

Hmm... I was about to forget that you need a v6 license key to use it, 
you can find it at the end of the message [2]
