Hi everyone! We are happy to announce a new release of oXygen XML Editor, version 16.1! The full details of the new version can be read from http://oxygenxml.com/whatisnew16.1.html and you can download it from http://oxygenxml.com/download.html In this release we made incremental improvements in many areas. The Quick fixes support introduced in version 16.0 was extended to be available also from the Author page and new quick fixes were extracted for fixing XML validation errors when you validate against an XML Schema with Xerces. Next we will look into extending this to cover also Relax NG and DTDs as well as implementing Schematron based fixes where the fixes are provided by the schema author as possible solutions to the identified problems. HTML tooltips were already available for content completion proposals in some cases but schema annotations were still presented as text. Now, we identify if an element, attribute or value annotation contains XHTML fragments and in that case we present it rendered as HTML when that component is selected in the content completion window - this allows a nicer display and provides support for links, so you can immediately point the user to an external resource that provides more details about the current selected proposal from the content completion window. You can see this in action in the XSLT editor, as we updated all those annotations to use XHTML. The XPath execution was extended in version 16 to a specified scope like the project, the selected files, etc. In version 16.1 we extended this support to include also the current archive, the XPath being executed on all the files of an EPUB, OOXML, ODF or a ZIP archive and there is also an option to treat ZIP-based archives as folders, if such an archive is included in a scope you apply an XPath expression on. The track changes functionality covers in not only text content but also structure and attributes. The surround operation was a difficult one, because you either do not track that or you mark all the content as deleted and then inserted together with the new element that surrounds it. In 16.1 we introduced support for understanding a wrap operation and tracking only the element that wrapped the content. We worked on color profiles but now all that work was ready for 16.1 but we still managed to get support for high contract themes on Windows. More, the Author visual mode will create application specific media rules to allow you to specify styles that will apply on white or black background and we updated DITA and DocBook to react to these so that the Author mode also adjusts the colors when a high contract theme is applied on the editor. Saxon 9.6 was just released and so was a new version of Calabash but it was not possible to integrated them overnight, so we include the previous stable versions of both of them. However, work already started to integrate Saxon 9 and we can provide early access to this as soon as it is ready in case someone is interested. I think I can go on like this for another hour :). Please see the release notes linked above for all the details and do not hesitate to contact us if you want more details about any of them.
