Hello everybody,

The *best version of <oXygen/> ever* is ready for a first run :). We just uploaded a beta build of the new oXygen 6 at the URLs below [1]. Please give it a try and let us know your feedback.

The first main new feature is the *schema visual diagram*. Strong points are: - support for both *XML Schemas* and *Relax NG schemas* - side by side source and diagram presentation - source and diagram are synchronized in *real time* (no background parsing) - print and save as image support

Another important feature is the *diff and merge* support (available only from the standalone distributions). It is in fact a *complete diff and merge solution featuring - 6 diff algorithms (*XML Accurate*, *XML Fast*, *Syntax Aware*, *Line* level, *Word* level and *Character* level) - both *file and directory* comparison and merging - a nice GUI presentation of the diff results with *change guide lines* and *synchronized scrolling* - support for automatic selection of the diff algorithm - the possibility to *go into details* at word or character level on the found modifications - *editing* any of the documents directly in the diff GUI - easy invocation of the diff from the project panel and more.

The third main feature is the import support from a number of external data sources like - any JDBC enabled database - comma, space, tab, semicolon separated text files - Excel sheets

Of course there are a lot of other features, like XML Signature support (sign and verify), XML Canonicalization support, the possibility to define proxy namespace mappings for the XPath evaluations, support for the latest Saxon 8.4 for XSLT 2.0, improvements in the performance and in the user interaction and more.

Enjoy, and do not forget to send us feedback ;) !

I have now looked at the new version and came up with two issues (that also exist in 5.1 by the way): * on Mac OX X (with a Japanese keyboard) there seems to be now way to input the or ('|') character -- whenever I press the key that in other Applications produces this character, nothing happens. * Display for Unicode-Characters beyond the BMP is distorted. These characters do show (if you have the correct font installed), but oxygen seems to mistake them for two characters, for example selecting such a character shows the two composing elements of the surrogate pair instead of the character, there is also extra spurious "whitespace" at the end of such a sequence. Just in case you need a small test file, I put one online for you at: http://www.kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~wittern/oxygen6-test.xml The first note element has such a character, and there is no whitespace in that element. I hope you can improve this for the release.
