Dear oXygen users,

We are happy to announce that version 17.0 of oXygen XML Editor is close 
to being released.

give you the opportunity to send us your feedback on the new features.

* Downloading - oXygen 17.0 beta downloading links and notes
* Licensing - a trial license key for testing

Important Notes:
- This build is meant for testing purposes only. Do not use it for 
production work.
- You should install this beta version in a different directory than 
your current Oxygen installation. For Windows, we also recommend that 
you disable file associations during the installation to preserve your 
current Oxygen file associations with the various XML file types.
- The OS X .zip distribution requires Java SE 6 from Apple, which is 
available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
- For Linux, you need to have installed either OpenJDK 7 
(http://openjdk.java.net/install/) or Java SE 8 JRE/JDK from Oracle 
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
- The "All Platforms" (.tar.gz) distribution includes launchers for Mac 
(Oxygen XML Editor.app or oxygenMac.sh), Linux (oxygen.sh), and Windows 
(oxygen.bat).
- All feedback is welcome.
