Hi everybody! First of all I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! We have almost ready a new version of oXygen and we made available a couple of distributions of a beta version of oXygen 5.1. Windows without a JVM: http://www.oxygenxml.com/v5.1beta/InstData/Windows/NoVM/oxygen.exe All platforms: http://www.oxygenxml.com/v5.1beta/InstData/All/oxygen.tar.gz Eclipse site URL: http://www.oxygenxml.com/v5.1beta/InstData/Eclipse/site.xml I would like to invite you to try it out and let us know if you find any problem with it. Although it is a minor release it contains a lot of new additions and improvements. I will mention the most important features below: * Folding support oXygen has a light folding implementation and offers more that collapse/expand actions. The most useful action is IMO collapse child folds (CTRL + Numpad-) which will collapse the child fold elements of the current fold (that is it will present the children elements of the current element collapsed). Using this starting from the root element and going down to the element of interest will have as result the document presented with all the elements collapsed except the element of interest. Also the folding structure is preserved after a format and indent action and even if you close the file and reopen it. * Really improved Relax NG support (I think this will make a lot of people happy :) ) The content completion support for Relax NG was rewritten from scratch to offer context sensitive proposals and it is not almost at the same level as the support for XML Schema and DTD. Also we have now an implementation of the Model View based on the Relax NG schema associated with the instance document that shows the element model and the possible attributes. The most important missing part that we plan to address in a future release is the annotation support, that is to present the annotations in the content completion documentation window and in the Model View. * Schematron support oXygen will offer full support for Schematron 1.5. This includes editing and validating Schematron schemas, validating XML documents with Schematron schemas, with Relax NG schemas with embedded Schematron rules and with XML Schemas with embedded Schematron rules. * Support for XSLTProc, MSXML 3.0, MSXML 4.0 and MSXML.Net as XSLT transformers. * Support for ID values on content completion oXygen will present the ID values collected in the last validate action on the content completion proposals where an IDREF or an IDREFS type is specified. This works not only with documents that have a DTD associated but also with documents that have an XML Schema or a Relax NG schema associated. * Code templates The content completion support can be enhanced with code templates. oXygen already ships with some code templates for XSLT (thanks to M. David Peterson) and XSD. One example is typing cwto and pressing CTRL+Space will get into an XSLT document something like: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="|"> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> where | represents the caret position. The code templates are triggered with CTRL+Space and they are presented together with eventual content completion proposals. * Automatic detection of formatting settings There are two options that control this feature. The first (true by default) controls the detection of indent size and indent characters. The second (false by default) controls the detection of line width. * Hard line wrap as you edit This is a time saving option. When editing content one needs to use almost at every line the format and indent action in order to get the content wrapped. Now the wrapping can be triggered automatically (if the option is enabled) and one can issue a format and indent action eventually when he finishes the editing of that content. There are more features, I will just mention their short description below: * Content completion support also on element values (for elements with XML Schema simple type content) * Saving of WSDL SOAP Requests * Open Web Service Call Result into the Editor * Extended Go to Options * Optional Content in new XML Document Creation * Scenario based XSLT debugging session * Save the Debug Trace * Extended Batch Validation * Saxon 8.SA can be used as XQuery Processor * Annotation Tooltips * Sortable Tables * Option for saving all files before validation or transformation * Project improvements * Fixed the bidirectional editing support * Better undo support * Updated the TEI framework * File properties page Best Regards, George --------------------------------------------------------------------- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com
