[oXygen-user] [ANN] Oxygen Content Fusion 8.0 is now available!

[Alin Belu]

Hello everyone,

We are proud to announce the release of *Oxygen Content Fusion 8.0*, the 
web-based collaboration platform for content creation!

Version *8.0* turns *Oxygen Content Fusion* into a powerful AI-driven 
tool designed to boost writer productivity by integrating with the 
*Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*. This version also consolidates the 
Oxygen Content Fusion position as a /Content Management System/ for DITA 
content stored in a Git repository by adding the ability to access all 
Git branches.​​

*Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* is available for users with the Content 
Fusion /Author/ role and offers a suite of AI-powered features to 
enhance content creation and editing. Once the plugin is installed, the 
/AI Positron Assistant/ side-pane becomes accessible in the /Personal 
Workspace/, providing a range of powerful AI-driven actions and 
features. Some of the key features include:

  * The AI Positron Assistant makes changes to the files inside a 
workspace based on your instructions. These changes can be inspected 
using a side-by-side, before-and-after visual comparison view. To ensure 
that you are always in control, any changes may be rolled back.

  * AI-powered content generation actions can be used to expand a DITA 
topic by refining its content, adding markup, and generating 
documentation based on referenced images using Vision support, to 
generate content based on uploaded images, produce alternate text for 
images in DITA, or to generate MathML formulas based on your description.

  * Content improvement actions are available to proofread documents, 
validate documents and suggest fixes for identified issues, add semantic 
inline DITA markup to plain text content, modify content based on 
suggestions found in the comments (which are then resolved), or split 
large DITA topics into multiple smaller topics while also referencing 
the new topics in the DITA map.

  * Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) support allows the AI Positron 
to find similar content from the personal workspace when generating new 
content.

  * Integrators or other advanced users can create and configure custom 
actions, similar to the built-in actions, allowing the ability to 
provide the prompt for the AI engine, control engine parameters, 
available function callback tools, and so on.

The newest version of Oxygen Content Fusion also introduces important 
updates to the Content Fusion Project functionality. A project mirrors a 
Git repository and via a /Personal Workspace/ enables users to make 
changes across multiple files. Once the users are happy with the 
results, these changes can be committed directly to the repository to be 
shared with the rest of the team.

Now, when working with projects, authors can *access all Git branches* 
and get a /Personal Workspace/ dedicated to each branch, making it 
possible to commit changes on a particular branch (version) without 
affecting the user's changes made in their other workspaces. Branches 
can also be merged using a built-in visual comparison tool that 
simplifies the process. Review tasks can now be created from branches 
other than the default one, and a new filter was added in the task list 
page to show review tasks specific to the current branch, making it 
easier to locate and manage relevant tasks.

Additionally, administrators now have the possibility of configuring 
authentication settings to enable support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) 
single sign-on for compatibility with solutions such as Microsoft Entra 
ID and Okta. For email and password-based signups, admins can now 
restrict sign-ups to specific email addresses or patterns. Additional 
security hardening controls were also implemented to keep your data safe.

We hope you will enjoy our latest release!
As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is 
welcome!

Best regards,
Alin
