WebHelp publishing template ZIP
by Scott Prentice 31 Jul '26

31 Jul '26

I'm setting up a WebHelp publishing template, and all was going fine, until giving it to the client to install and it failed. I'm developing this on a Mac and the client is using Windows. I've got a folder that contains the template files, and have been creating the ZIP package by compressing the folder. The resulting ZIP works fine on a Mac, but on Windows, it seems to work .. it shows up as an available template in the Transformation Scenario .. but when you run the build, you get a message that the descriptor file isn't found. After a bit of gnashing of teeth, I found that (it seems) on Windows, it's treating the containing folder as an additional folder. (I'm not sure why it can find the PNG but not the OPT file though.) If I create the ZIP by selecting the contents of the folder rather than the folder itself, it works for both Windows and Mac. I'm good for now, but wanted to post this in case it's something that should be fixed, or if I'm just misunderstanding how it should work.

Git client and Windows OpenSSH
by Jirka Kosek 30 Jul '26

30 Jul '26

Hi, I have troubles with using git client on Windows. I have custom git config file configured for OpenSSH client integrated into Windows. It works fine from a command line. However it seems that oXygen git client ignores this config even when in options I choose to use "Win32 Open SSH" as SSH agent. Are there any options/preferences that can be used to explicitly specify executable for SSH to be used by oXygen git client (e.g. something like core.sshcommand=C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe in git config)? Or is there a way to get more detailed diagnostic messages so I can see what gone wrong?

by Alin Belu 27 Jul '26

27 Jul '26

Hello, We are proud to announce the release of version *1.2* for the *S1000D Framework Add-on* for Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, and the Eclipse distribution. This new release brings two new publishing scenarios for your S1000D Data Modules, validation against BREX modules, and a set of refinements that make everyday authoring smoother. Here's what's new: *PDF Preview for a Data Module* The new "*S1000D Data Module PDF*" scenario renders a single Data Module as a print-ready PDF, giving you a faithful preview of how that module will look on the page. Check formatting, spacing, and layout before you commit. It is a quick way to see your structured content the way a reader would. *HTML Preview for a Data Module* The "*S1000D Data Module HTML*" scenario renders a Data Module as HTML and opens it in your default browser. You get a fast, faithful preview for reviewing content and catching layout issues early as you iterate. *A More Polished Authoring Experience* This release also includes a round of improvements to the Author page, such as *better S1000D rendering*, with elements now being displayed more accurately, and *more consistent styling*, with the full-width style being applied correctly alongside other styles. *S1000D Framework Add-on 1.2* is available for Oxygen XML Editor, Oxygen XML Author, Oxygen XML Developer, and the Eclipse distribution. You can update it from *Help > Install new add-ons* or install it from the S1000D Framework Add-on page: https://www.oxygenxml.com/addons/oxygenxml.s1000d.framework.html We hope that you will enjoy using the most recent release of the add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it. As always, your feedback is welcome!

[ANN] Oxygen Git Client Add-on 6.0 is Now Available!
by Alin Belu 22 Jul '26

22 Jul '26

Hello, We are proud to announce *Oxygen Git Client Add-on 6.0*, a major update that makes Git workflows in Oxygen XML Editor, Oxygen XML Author, Oxygen XML Developer, and Oxygen JSON Editor faster, clearer, and easier to manage. This release delivers a redesigned Git History view, AI-assisted merge conflict resolution, smarter credential management, partial stashing, visual image comparisons, and workflow refinements that help teams move from change to commit with greater confidence. *What's New in Oxygen Git Client Add-on 6.0:* ************************************* *A Reimagined Git History View* The enhanced History view makes repository activity easier to understand at a glance. Uncommitted changes now appear in the graph as a pending commit, active merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and revert operations are clearly marked, and you can compare any two points in history, including a selected revision against the working copy. Interactive branch and status labels provide quick access to branch actions and tracking details. Together, these enhancements make it easier to trace changes, compare revisions, and understand work in progress without losing context. *AI-Assisted Conflict Resolution* AI Positron can now analyze conflicting file versions and propose a resolution with an explanation that you can verify using the available compare actions, then refine it further if needed. You stay in control as suggestions are applied only after approval. This helps you resolve conflicts more confidently while staying in control of the final result. *More Control, Less Friction* Version 6.0 adds context-sensitive controls for interrupted merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and revert operations, making it easier to continue, restart, or abort safely. A new Credentials preferences page lets you review and remove individual stored credentials, while an improved login behavior reduces repeated authentication steps. These improvements help you recover from interrupted workflows more easily and manage authentication with less friction. *Smarter Everyday Workflows* Partial stashing lets you stash selected files instead of the entire working copy, and a Rebase action enables you to rebase the current local branch onto a selected revision. Image diffs are displayed as true side-by-side visual comparisons, making design and asset changes easier to review. Additional enhancements include Push and Pull actions on the current branch menu, faster remote branch discovery, improved Blame integration, new actions to ignore untracked files or folders, and customizable AI instructions for commit messages and commit explanations. For a detailed list of the features added in *Oxygen Git Client Add-on 6.0*, please see: https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/wn_git_client_6.html *Availability* ******************* *Oxygen Git Client Add-on 6.0* is available for Oxygen XML Editor, Oxygen XML Author, Oxygen XML Developer, and Oxygen JSON Editor. You can update it from *Help > Install new add-ons* or install it from the Oxygen Git Client add-on page - https://www.oxygenxml.com/addons/com.oxygenxml.git.html We hope that you will enjoy using the most recent release of the add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it. As always, your feedback is welcome!

[ANN] Oxygen AI Positron 8.3 is Now Available!
by Alin Belu 01 Jul '26

01 Jul '26

Hello everyone, We are proud to announce the immediate availability of the *Oxygen AI Positron 8.3* plugins for all our major Oxygen XML suite products, including Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer (desktop and Eclipse distributions), Oxygen JSON Editor, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen Content Fusion. Version *8.3* introduces stronger enterprise AI governance, a new project-aware development agent mode, expanded AI model support, and new XML automation capabilities. The release gives technical writers, XML developers, information architects, and enterprise administrators more control over AI behavior while improving assistance for technologies such as XSLT, Schematron, XPath, and DITA. *What's New in Oxygen AI Positron 8.3* ******************************** * *AI Governance with Event Hooks* Organizations can now monitor and control AI-driven workflows more closely with the introduction of a hook system for intercepting AI events, offering improved visibility and control over AI-driven workflows. Organizations can use hooks to audit AI activity, enforce governance policies, collect usage metrics, or block potentially risky operations before they are executed. To simplify integration with existing enterprise tooling, the new *Oxygen AI Positron Hooks* add-on lets teams run external scripts when specific AI hook events occur. This makes it easier for administrators to connect AI lifecycle events to auditing, analytics, policy enforcement, and workflow automation systems. * *Dev Agent Chat Mode for XML Development Projects* The new *Dev Agent* chat mode gives XML teams a project-aware AI assistant for development tasks such as XSLT, Schematron, XPath, validation, and transformations. The Dev Agent can explore the project, propose a plan, and perform project-wide changes, while you remain in control of reviewing and deciding which modifications to keep. * *Specialized Development Skills* Version 8.3 adds specialized skills for development vocabularies including *XSLT*, *XSD*, *Schematron*, and *XSpec*. These skills help the AI produce more accurate code suggestions and reduce errors, enabling faster and more efficient development. Custom skills can also now be packaged as ZIP archives with the /.skill/ file extension. Once placed in the configured skills folders, these packages are automatically recognized and loaded by AI Positron, making it easier for you to distribute and share custom AI capabilities. * *Expanded Enterprise AI Connectivity* Organizations can now access newer OpenAI reasoning models through a new *OpenAI Responses* enterprise connector. Version 8.3 also adds support for connecting to *Model Context Protocol (MCP)* HTTP servers that use OAuth authentication. You can view a summary of running or failed servers in the /Connection status/ section, with integrated login and logout controls. For AWS users, the *AWS Bedrock* connector now supports *AWS Credentials (Profile/SSO)*, offering a more secure authentication option than API keys. * *New AI Models and Improved Reasoning Visibility * Oxygen AI Positron 8.3 expands the list of available AI models for AI-assisted tasks, including: - *GPT-5.4 Thinking*, *GPT-5.5,* and *GPT-5.5 Thinking* through the Positron Service or an OpenAI Responses enterprise connection. - *Claude Opus 4.8 Thinking* and *Claude Opus 4.8*, designed for agentic workflows and complex multi-step tasks. - *Gemini 3.5 Flash* through the Positron Service or the Vertex AI enterprise connection. You can now inspect reasoning from supported OpenAI thinking models in a collapsible chat section, improving transparency without cluttering the conversation. Administrators can also manage which models are available for configured AI connections, define recommended defaults, and add models beyond the predefined list. * *Automatic Conversation Compaction for Longer AI Sessions* Long AI conversations can now continue more smoothly with the new automatic conversation compaction feature. When the allowed context usage reaches 70%, AI Positron summarizes older portions of the conversation and replaces them with a concise recap, preserving relevant context while allowing the discussion to continue. You can disable automatic compaction from the /Preferences/ page or manually trigger compaction using the *Context Consumption* button in the footer of the AI Positron view. * *Fix Multiple Validation Issues at Once* The *AI Positron Fix* action can now be applied to multiple selected validation problems in the /Results/ pane. This allows you to resolve several issues in a single AI-assisted operation, improving productivity when working with large or complex XML documents. * *More Flexible Custom AI Actions* When creating custom AI actions, you can now use Oxygen editor variables in the /prompt_ref/ property. For example, a prompt can reference content from your home folder, and the variable will be expanded automatically. * *New AI Tool Function for XPath Evaluation* AI Positron now includes an /evaluate_xpath/ tool function that helps AI-assisted workflows access structured XML content more precisely. * *New XPath AI Functions for Advanced Automation* Two new AI extension functions, /ai:chat()/ and /ai:resolve-action()/, are now available for XPath-based automation workflows, with full technical details available in the supporting documentation. For the complete list of features added in *Oxygen AI Positron 8.3*, please see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/ai_positron/whats_new.html As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is welcome!
