[Ann] Oxygen Git Client add-on v2.4 has been released!
by Alin Belu 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Hello, We are excited to announce the release of Oxygen Git Client add-on version 2.4! One of the most important features found in the newest version of the add-on is the addition of the "Abort merge" action for when conflicts result after a Pull (merge) operation. This allows you to abort the current conflict resolution process. Other improvements added in version 2.4 of the Oxygen Git Client add-on that expand its functionality even further include: * The addition of a quick find filter to the Git History view. * A new set of options in the Git Client preferences page that can be used to decide whether to always switch to a newly detected working copy from a project, to never switch, or to always ask. * The "Preferences" action was added in the Settings menu that acts as a shortcut to the Git Client preferences page. * An issue was fixed where pushing to a remote branch with a different name than the one of the local branches did not work. * Numerous other bug fixes were integrated, along with UI improvements, and speed improvements. * The JGit component included in the Git Client was updated to version 5.10.0. Also, make sure to check the README page for the Git Client add-on on GitHub: https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-git-plugin/blob/master/README.md We hope that you will enjoy using the latest release of the Oxygen Git Client add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it!

Specifying information type for HTML to DITA conversions
by Kristen James Eberlein 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

Hi, any advice about specifying the information type for the batch converter? I installed the add-on from https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-resources-converter I have a bunch of HTML files that I want to convert to task topics. Using the batch converter as-is generates "topics" rather than more specialized task topics. -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee OASIS Distinguished Contributor Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting LLC www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)

Hi group, I've got a bookmap with a small reltable. When I generate HTML5, I see the related links, but I don't see them in my webhelp, although the args.rellinks and webhelp.show.related.links parameters are set to "yes". Any ideas what could be wrong? I'm using Oxygen XML Editor v. 23. Kind regards Yves
