• XML Editor 9 is available
  

  Syncro Soft Ltd, the producer of Oxygen XML Editor, has announced the immediate availability of version 9.0 of its XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT/XQuery Debugger.

  The main feature of version 9.0 is a CSS-based visual XML editor allowing WYSIWYG like editing of XML documents. With an innovative approach to XML authoring Oxygen allows you to work with XML frameworks (DocBook, DITA, TEI, XHTML, etc) easier than ever before. Version 9 adds a new concept called Document Type that allow users to provide ready to use support for a framework or an XML language and share that with other users. This version also brings improved error reporting for validation against Relax NG schemas and Schematron, additional side view helpers, some component updates and a number of other features.

  New in version 9.0:

  The WYSIWYG like rendering of the visual XML editor is driven by CSS stylesheets conforming with the W3C CSS 2.1 specification so that users are not locked into a custom format. Some enhancements introduced by the W3C CSS 3 working draft like CSS XML namespaces and the attr function are also supported. The tagless editor comes with ready to use support for largely used XML frameworks: DITA, DocBook 4 / DocBook 5, TEI P4 / TEI P5 and XHTML. Both the CALS and HTML table models are supported.

  The new Document Type concept allows to easily share between users preconfigured support for an XML framework or language consisting of default schema for validation, CSS stylesheets for WYSIWYG editing, custom actions, document templates, XML catalogs and transformation scenarios.

  Incomplete error reports in validation against a Relax NG schemas like "required attributes missing", "required elements missing" or "unfinished element" were updated to report exactly what XML attributes or elements are missing and what is expected to finish the element. The diagnostics messages issued by a Schematron schema are displayed together with the other validation errors. Schematron report messages are treated as warnings.

  The new outliner implementations for CSS and XQuery allow you to see immediately the structure of your CSS and XQuery documents. Two new views, the XML Elements View and the Entities View allow to easily insert new elements and entities in your XML files.

  There were many small but useful new features in Oxygen XML editor version 9, to take an example the spell checking is aware of xml:lang values and this allows to check the spelling in documents that contain content in more than one language.

• XML Editor 8.2 is available
  

  Syncro Soft Ltd,the producer of <oXygen/> XML Editor, has announced the immediate availability of version 8.2 of its XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT/XQuery Debugger.

  The key word for Oxygen XML Editor version 8.2 is innovation. It brings the first XQuery debugger against a native XML database allowing users of the MarkLogic 3.2 database to debug their XQuery code based on the new MarkLogic Server 3.2 XQuery debugging API. Oxygen is the first tool announcing ISO Schematron support covering also ISO Schematron embedded in XML Schema or Relax NG, abstract patterns and included Schematron schemas. Oxygen version 8.2 is the first XML IDE that enables working with modules (XML external entities, included/imported stylesheets, XQuery modules, etc.). You can validate the current module in the context it is used from and also perform multiple validation operations in a single action using the new validation scenarios feature. To the main features list we can add also the capability to view very large files with sizes larger than a Gigabyte and multi-line find/replace support. There are also other enhancements, fixes and component updates.

  New in version 8.2:

  XQuery debugging was available until now only against standalone engines. After a close cooperation with MarkLogic we are happy to provide the first XQuery debuggind tool supporting a native XML database. Queries executed on a MarkLogic 3.2 database can now be debugged in the XQuery Debugger perspective of Oxygen. The following views are displayed in this perspective: Breakpoints, XWatch, Context, Variables and Stack. The debugger is able to show debugging information also inside XQuery modules.

  With oXygen you get complete support for XML related technologies, you get also support for the latest technologies. Thus version 8.2 adds ISO Schematron support. This covers ISO Schematron schema editing, ISO Schematron rules embedded in XML Schema or Relax NG, abstract patterns and included Schematron schemas.

  Validation scenarios are a very powerful feature and they solve a number of important issues when working with XML and XML related technologies. They allow working with modules and performing multiple validations in one action. By default the validation of a document is done by using a processor (XML parser, XSLT transformer, XQuery engine, etc.) to analyze the current file. The validation scenario allows to specify a set of files to validate and for each file what processor to use and whether or not to perform continuous validation. Thus if you work on a module you can set the validation on the master file, the file that refers that module. Also you can perform multiple validations with different processors or on different files.

  Very large files (larger than a Gigabyte) which cannot be opened in the editor panel can be viewed in the Large File Viewer without loading the entire file in the memory.

  The Find/Replace is enhanced with multi-line capabilities. Both the find and the replace expressions can cover multiple lines of the document. This together with the regular expressions and XPath filtering support allow powerful changes to be applied on the document content.
