Oxygen XML
Developer version 17.1 includes updates and improvements to make your XML developing
experience even more productive and effective. The performance of many of the
integral components has been optimized and numerous features were enhanced and
fine-tuned to make Oxygen XML Developer even more powerful, dynamic, and easy to
use. It also features a spectacular new visual design that makes everything look
crisp and beautiful.
Oxygen XML Developer extends support for resolving errors and managing the
structure of your documents through powerful actions. Support for XML Quick Fixes
was expanded and their performance improved, while XML Refactoring actions were
enhanced to make them more accessible and powerful.
Schematron schemas now provide support for XSLT 3.0 and you can now validate an
XML document with an NVDL schema that contains an XML Schema 1.1 validation step.
There are changes in:
User Interface
New Color Themes and User-defined Themes
New Light and Ultramarine color themes have been
added in addition to the existing Classic and Graphite
ones. Light is now the default theme for Windows and you can select
the desired theme from the Theme drop-down menu found in the
Appearance preferences page. You can also use the themes as a
starting point for setting your own preferred colors and define your own color
themes that you can share with your colleagues.
Breadcrumb Navigation in Text Mode
A breadcrumb navigation bar is now available at the top of the
Text editing mode that presents the hierarchy of elements
(from the document root to the currently selected element). It can be used as a
helpful tool to navigate to specific ancestor elements and also to understand
your location in the document structure.
XML Quick Fixes
Support for Schematron Quick Fixes in Other Documents
Support has been added for the Schematron Quick Fixes to be executed on
documents other than the current one. You can apply quick fixes for example on
content referenced using XInclude or external entities.
Support for User Entries in Schematron Quick Fixes
The Schematron Quick Fixes now support the
<sqf:user-entry> element. It allows you to ask the user
to specify values that will be used when the quick fix is applied.
Improved Performance for Schematron Quick Fixes
The performance for Schematron Quick Fixes has been improved so that
the operations are generated and executed faster. The XML validation against
Schematron also now performs faster when quick fixes are defined.
Quick Fixes Presented in a Tooltip Window
Proposals for quick fixes to solve validation errors or warnings are
now displayed in a tooltip popup window. When hovering over an error or warning,
if a quick fix is available for that particular problem, the proposals are
presented in a tooltip, along with more details about the error, and you can
easily select an available quick fix from this tooltip window. In
Author mode, an in-place quick fix drop-down menu is also
displayed when hovering over an error or warning. The drop-down menu presents a
list of available quick fixes to select from.
XML Refactoring
Define Refactoring Actions Using XSLT
If the predefined XML refactoring operations are not sufficient to help
you accomplish a particular task, you can create a custom operation that is
specific to your needs. You can now use XSLT stylesheets as an alternative to
XQuery Update scripts to define custom operations.
XML Refactoring Actions Available in the Contextual Menu
The XML Refactoring actions were added in the contextual menu to make
them more accessible. Furthermore, they are invoked according to the current
context within the editor, making them easier to use. For instance, if you
invoke the Rename Element action, the name of the element is
pre-configured in the dialog box that appears.
New Parameter Types to Identify Attributes and Elements
Two additional parameter types were added that allow you to match
elements and attributes more easily by using the power of XPath
expressions.
Schemas
Support for XPath/XSLT 3.0 in Schematron Schemas
Schematron schemas now provide support for XSLT 3.0. You can define the
version directly in the Schematron document using the queryBinding
attribute or by using an option in the Schematron preferences
page.
Support for XML Schema 1.1 Validation from within NVDL Scripts
You can now validate an XML document with an NVDL schema that contains
an XML Schema 1.1 validation step. To enable XML Schema 1.1 validation in NVDL,
you need to pass some
validation options to the validation engine..
API
A detailed list of all changes to the Java API can be found
here.
Add a Drag and Drop Listener to Author Mode
The WSAuthorEditorPageBase.addDNDListener(...) API
method allow you to add a drag and drop listener in Author mode
from a plugin.
Advanced Custom Rule Matcher
The
DocumentTypeAdvancedCustomRuleMatcher API class
can be used as a specific document type association rule. The API has to access
the content of an entire document to determine if the document type association
can be used for the current XML document.
API to Customize Callouts
AuthorStylesheet Plugin Extension Type
The AuthorStylesheet plugin extension type allows you
to contribute stylesheets (CSS or LESS) as extra layers for rendering elements
in Author mode.
Change the Tag Display Mode
The WSAuthorEditorPageBase.getTagsDisplayMode() and
WSAuthorEditorPageBase.setTagsDisplayMode(int) APIs were
added that allow you to get or change the display mode for tags in
Author mode.
Customize Actions in the Review Panel
Customize Highlights in Author Mode
Escape/Unescape Attribute Values
Execute XQuery Update Scripts on Content in Author Mode
JavaScript-based Workspace Access Plugin Extension
A new
Javascript implementation of the
WorkspaceAccessPluginExtension type of plugin was added.
This plugin provides support for customizing menus, toolbars, and views, as well
as for making modifications to opened documents and adding listeners for various
events.
Open a Specific Preferences Page
Refresh References for a DITA Map
Retrieve Clipboard Content Copied in Author Mode
Specify Initial State for Custom Contributed View
When a
workspace access plugin contributes a custom view, it can also
specify the initial state of the view (
hidden,
docked,
autohide, or
floating).
Treat Expanded or Referenced Content as Transparent when Running XPath
Expressions
A new API method
AuthorDocumentController.evaluateXPath() has
specific parameters that can specify if the entities and
xi:include elements are replaced with the actual content
that is referenced when the XPath is executed.
Validate Editor Content
The new
WSEditor.checkValid() API method validates the
editor content and reports whether or not it is valid.
Security
Improved Security
We took proactive steps to improve the overall Oxygen security. We
limited the execution of all the Oxygen customizations that are not deployed
in a framework or plugin directory.
Other
Support the Latest Operating Systems
Oxygen has been tested and supports the latest operating systems,
including Windows 10 and OS X El Capitan (10.11).
Updated XSLT 3.0 Content Completion

sites that use either Cloud identity (ADFS) or
Federated identity (on-premise) for their authentication
system.
Enhanced Support for XLIFF 2.0 Documents
The support for XLIFF 2.0 documents has been enhanced with the ability
to validate them using schema modules.
Support for Executing XQuery Update Scripts Directly Over Content in Author
Mode
A new default Author mode operation
(XQueryUpdateOperation) has been added that allows you to
execute an XQuery Update script directly over content in Author
mode.
Configuring Content Completion Proposals
Oxygen includes support for configuring the possible attribute or
element values for the proposals in the Content Completion Assistant. Support
has also been added that allows you to configure the proposals based on the
context of the element for which the content completion was
invoked.
Convert Hexadecimal Sequence to its Corresponding Unicode Character
A new action was added that allows you to convert any valid hexadecimal
sequence into its corresponding Unicode character.
XPath Expressions in Formatting Preferences Accept Attribute
Conditions
In the
XML Formatting Preferences page, you can add a
list of elements for which Oxygen will handle whitespaces found in XML
content when performing
Format and Indent operations. The list
of elements can be specified by name or simplified XPath expressions, and the
XPath expressions can now accept attribute conditions.
Enhanced Validation Support for XSL-FO
The
focheck framework developed by Antenna House is now
bundled with Oxygen. It offers better and more detailed validation of XSL FO
1.1 documents and it also validates the extension FOs and properties that
Antenna House Formatter provides for improved formatted
output.
