Hi,

We just uploaded oXygen 11 beta, scroll down for the installation kits 
[1] and for a license key for tests [2].
I hope you will enjoy getting early access to the new version 11 
features :). We expect to release version 11 in the first part of October.

Here it is a list with the most important changes:

XProc support
=============
The XProc support includes editing, validation and execution through 
XProc scenarios. oXygen bundles Calabash as built in engine but 
additional custom XProc processors can also be configured. The Author 
mode presents a nice visual rendering of the XProc scripts.

XSLT documentation
==================
oXygen generates documentation for XSLT stylesheets in XHTML format by 
inspecting the stylesheets and determining what components they contain 
and where they are used. User supplied description can be specified 
either in the form of XML comments or in a simple language for which 
oXygen provides easy editing support though special actions for 
inserting documentation and through content completion. User defined 
documentation languages can also be used but the rendering stylesheets 
need to be updated to handle their conversion to XHTML.

XQuery Debugger for the Berkeley DB XML database
================================================
The debugging interface of Berkeley DB 2.5 database was integrated with 
the XQuery Debugger of oXygen.

EMC Documentum integration
==========================
oXygen XML Editor integration with Documentum is built on top of DFS 6.5 
and includes:
     * Repository browsing
     * Check-out and check-in
     * Transparent resource access (open, edit, save)
     * Import/export
     * Resource management (create, delete, copy, move)
     * etc.
A video demonstration showing that in action is available at
http://www.oxygenxml.com/update/Documentum/oXygenDocumentum.html
More details for setting up the connection to Documentum can be read here
https://community.emc.com/thread/4519

More flexible transformation and validation scenarios
=====================================================
There is no more a dependence btween the currently edited file and the 
scenarios available for transformation or validation, thus users can 
apply any transformation or validation scenario on any file. More, the 
project view allows to associate scenarios on a folder or on the 
selected files.

Updated Saxon to version 9.2
============================
Saxon 9 SA was updated to the latest version Saxon 9.2 Enterprise 
Edition. oXygen supports also Saxon 9.2 Professional Edition and Home 
Edition.

Update oNVDL to jing-trang
==========================
The NVDL implementation from oNVDL was moved to jing-trang and  was 
updated to use the latest jing-tarang version 20090818.

Improved Author editing interface for non technical users
=========================================================
The Author mode has new location tooltips and current element highlights 
that help the user to identify the position in the edited document. By 
default it turns on a more constrained editing mode that avoids for 
instance inserting text in the elements that do not allow text nodes or 
inserting elements not allowed by the schema.

Render and visually edit MathML in the Author mode
==================================================
MathML notations are rendered and can be edited in Author mode with a 
default editor or with an optional and more powerful editor based on the 
MathFlow component from Design Science.

Render MathML in the output of DocBook transformations
======================================================
MathML notations included in a DocBook documents are rendered as graphic 
notations in the PDF and XHTML outputs of the DocBook transformations.

Integrated DITA OT 1.5
======================
oXygen comes with version 1.5 (M19) of DITA OT which supports the DITA 
1.2 specification.

DITA 1.2 support
================
Some of the new DITA 1.2 features are supported. These include insertion 
and visualization in the Author mode of conref ranges and conkeyrefs, 
insertion and navigation for keyrefs in the context of the current DITA map.

Spell checking on a set of files
================================
Spell checking can be applied with only one action on all the files in a 
folder from the Project view or on all the files referred by a DITA map 
from the DITA Maps Manager view.

Automatic/Easy setup for AntennaHouse Formatter
===============================================
An installation of the AntennaHouse FOP v4 or v5 can be automatically 
detected or easily configured for performing FO to PDF transformations 
and for DITA map transformations executed with DITA OT.

Support for WMF images in the Author mode
=========================================
WMF images can be rendered now in the Author mode.

Allow more than one toolbar with custom actions in Author mode
==============================================================
You can create up to 4 toolbars containing custom actions that will be 
available in the Author mode.

Updated TEI schemas to version 1.4.1
====================================
The latest version of TEI schemas were added.

XPath content completion for Schematron
=======================================
The content completion offers XPath 1.0 and XPath 2.0 functions and axes 
in attributes like report/@test, value-of/@select, etc when editing a 
Schematron schema.

Support attributes in the XPath filter for Find/Replace
=======================================================
The XPath filter of the Find/Replace dialog works also for an XPath 
expression that selects only attributes, thus it is possible to 
find/replace only in attribute values.

Extended large documents editing support
========================================
Larger XML documents can be opened for editing, for example a 200MB 
document can be opened in oXygen using a 512 MB or more. oXygen will 
detect large documents and will automatically turn off or change the 
implementation for some editor functions to reduce the memory usage.

Extended large documents viewing support (up to 10 GB)
======================================================
The large fie viewer can open files up to 10 GB in read only mode.

WebDAV sources available in the Database Explorer view
======================================================
The files and folders available in a WebDAV source can be browsed and 
opened using the Database Explorer view.

Digital signature without key info
==================================
An XML document can be signed without including the key info in the 
signed document and the signature of a signed XML document that does not 
include key info can be verified.

Resolve imported XML Schema location based on namespace
=======================================================
The location of an XML Schema imported in other schema can be resolved 
with an XML catalog based only on the schema namespace when the schema 
location is not specified.
