Hello, We are pleased to announce the release of Oxygen XML Editor version 21.0. See the complete list of new features here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/#new-version New in Oxygen XML Editor 21.0 ============================ The release of version 21 of Oxygen XML Editor adds numerous new features, updates, and improvements to the already robust, industry-leading XML editing application. The primary focus for this major release was to evaluate user requests for improvements and additions, implement as many of them as possible, while preserving the reliability, stability, and performance requirements that the XML community has come to expect from the Oxygen suite of products. Some of the highlights of the additions and improvements in version 21 include numerous new features and enhancements for DITA authors. For example, the DITA Reusable Components view was further enhanced with a new tiles layout and new filtering/sorting options, you now have the ability to preview images before inserting them, support for profiling attribute groups was added to make it possible to filter and flag content using values organized with hierarchical subcategories, DITA maps are now automatically re-indexed when opening them, submaps can now be validated while keys are gathered in the context of the root map, the application now comes bundled with the latest version of DITA-OT (3.2.1), and many other DITA improvements. Collaboration for your XML documentation review process is now readily available since the Oxygen Content Fusion connector add-on is already installed in Oxygen XML Editor. The CSS-based PDF Publishing support and the Oxygen PDF Chemistry engine also received numerous improvements and new features. For example, you now have the ability to add an Edit link in the PDF output and clicking the link will open the particular topic in Oxygen XML Web Author, comments and tracked changes can be displayed in the PDF output, both directly in the document and in the Comments or Annotations panel in PDF readers, support was added for various CSS properties, various transformation parameters were added or fixed, and many other feature requests were implemented. You also now have access to a new transformation scenario type to transform any XML document to PDF using CSS styling. A major effort was put into making the JSON support as robust as other document types. The Outline view was redesigned. It is automatically synchronized with the main editor, it presents validation errors, and the internal model was enhanced so that the document structure is displayed even if the JSON content is not well formed. Another major improvement was the addition of an intelligent Content Completion Assistant that is driven by an associated JSON Schema. You can define your own code templates that will appear in the content completion list, XPath expressions can be executed over multiple JSON files, you can transform or query JSON documents using XSLT or XQuery, various actions were added, and many other JSON features were implemented. The support for XSLT 3.0 and XQuery 3.0 was improved. For example, the content completion now offers more proposals for parameter values in functions, new XPath 3.1 functions are now proposed in the content completion, including documentation in a side window. The Compile XSL Stylesheet for Saxon tool also was improved to provide the option to use a Saxon configuration file to control the compiling operation. This major version includes numerous other new features and improvements, new API entry points or extensions, updates to various add-ons, component updates, and performance improvements.
