[ANN] Oxygen Content Fusion 8.0 is now available!

Hello everyone, We are proud to announce the release of *Oxygen Content Fusion 8.0*, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation! Version *8.0* turns *Oxygen Content Fusion* into a powerful AI-driven tool designed to boost writer productivity by integrating with the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*. This version also consolidates the Oxygen Content Fusion position as a /Content Management System/ for DITA content stored in a Git repository by adding the ability to access all Git branches. *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* is available for users with the Content Fusion /Author/ role and offers a suite of AI-powered features to enhance content creation and editing. Once the plugin is installed, the /AI Positron Assistant/ side-pane becomes accessible in the /Personal Workspace/, providing a range of powerful AI-driven actions and features. Some of the key features include: * The AI Positron Assistant makes changes to the files inside a workspace based on your instructions. These changes can be inspected using a side-by-side, before-and-after visual comparison view. To ensure that you are always in control, any changes may be rolled back. * AI-powered content generation actions can be used to expand a DITA topic by refining its content, adding markup, and generating documentation based on referenced images using Vision support, to generate content based on uploaded images, produce alternate text for images in DITA, or to generate MathML formulas based on your description. * Content improvement actions are available to proofread documents, validate documents and suggest fixes for identified issues, add semantic inline DITA markup to plain text content, modify content based on suggestions found in the comments (which are then resolved), or split large DITA topics into multiple smaller topics while also referencing the new topics in the DITA map. * Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) support allows the AI Positron to find similar content from the personal workspace when generating new content. * Integrators or other advanced users can create and configure custom actions, similar to the built-in actions, allowing the ability to provide the prompt for the AI engine, control engine parameters, available function callback tools, and so on. The newest version of Oxygen Content Fusion also introduces important updates to the Content Fusion Project functionality. A project mirrors a Git repository and via a /Personal Workspace/ enables users to make changes across multiple files. Once the users are happy with the results, these changes can be committed directly to the repository to be shared with the rest of the team. Now, when working with projects, authors can *access all Git branches* and get a /Personal Workspace/ dedicated to each branch, making it possible to commit changes on a particular branch (version) without affecting the user's changes made in their other workspaces. Branches can also be merged using a built-in visual comparison tool that simplifies the process. Review tasks can now be created from branches other than the default one, and a new filter was added in the task list page to show review tasks specific to the current branch, making it easier to locate and manage relevant tasks. Additionally, administrators now have the possibility of configuring authentication settings to enable support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) single sign-on for compatibility with solutions such as Microsoft Entra ID and Okta. For email and password-based signups, admins can now restrict sign-ups to specific email addresses or patterns. Additional security hardening controls were also implemented to keep your data safe.

As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is welcome! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor
