What's New in Oxygen XML Web Author 19.0
April 5, 2017
Oxygen XML Web
Author version 19 is the latest release for the innovative web-based authoring tool. Its
powerful technology and adaptive interface allows you to review, contribute, and
edit content from anywhere you have access to a browser, on desktops, tablets, or
mobile devices. It includes a variety of new features and improvements to make your
authoring, collaborating, and reviewing experience more efficient, accurate, and productive
than ever
before.

Find/Replace Mechanism Improved
The
search mechanism now features a dialog box that
provides more intuitive search functions and includes several new options to
help you find and replace content.
New Validation View
A new
Validation side
view has been added that provides details about any detected problems
in the current document and it is synchronized with the editing pane. Each
problem may contain fixes you can select to solve that issue.
Proposals to Help You Resolve Errors
A
Quick Fix mechanism was added to Web Author
that offers proposals to automatically fix validation problems in your
documents. The fixes are presented in a tooltip in the main editing pane and
also in the
Validation side view.
Autosave Feature for SharePoint
The
SharePoint plugin now includes support for
autosave
and a new configuration parameter was added that specifies the auto-saving
interval.
REST-based CMS Connection Plugin
We now have a
REST-based plugin on GitHub that allows you to implement
REST-endpoints for content handling, providing a simple way to connect to a CMS
or any repository.
Support for German, Dutch, Japanese, and French Languages
Change Tracking Displays Attribute Changes
When Change Tracking is enabled, any changes to attributes are
displayed in the
Review panel.
Folding Support
Parts of documents can now be
folded (collapsed) to make it easier to work with large
documents.
Tab Key Jumps to the Next Element
You can now use the Tab key to jump to the next element.
Improved Validation when Uploading Plugins or Frameworks
When a
plugin
or framework is uploaded, Web Author now checks to make sure it
contains the proper extension descriptor file (
plugin.xml or
*.framework) before copying it to the extensions folder.
Also, the Administration Page now displays plugins or frameworks that could not
be loaded.
Java Virtual Machine 1.8
On the server side, Web Author now requires Java Virtual Machine
1.8.
API: Reload Content from CMS
The ReloadContentOperation API was added that allows
you to reload editor content from the CMS.
API: Autosave Feature
A new API was added that allows you to implement
autosave.
Acrolinx Integration
Acrolinx provides an Oxygen XML Web Author plugin that allows
integration with the Acrolinx server that analyzes your content and offers
suggestions for improving it.
