Support was added for the latest JSON schema versions (Draft 2019-09 and Draft 2020-12) in Design mode. This includes automatic detection of the version, validation, contextual menu actions were updated with the new components, and the Palette view was updated to include the new components.
JSON Schema Version 2019-09 and 2020-12 Now Supported:
Search and Refactoring Actions Added in JSON Schema Design Mode
New search and refactoring actions were added in the contextual menu of the JSON schema Design mode to improve the handling of JSON definition type components. The new actions are:
Search References - Searches all references of the selected definition in a scope determined by the schemas referenced in the file and the main schemas declared in validation scenarios.
Search References in - Searches for all references of the selected definition in a defined scope.
Search Occurrences in file - Searches all occurrences of the currently selected definition in the current file.
Rename Component in - Allows you to rename the selected component name. You can preview the files being affected and these files are identified by searching the references of the selected component in the scope provided.
Extract definition in another file - Extracts a definition to a new file. If the file does not already exist, the action will create a new file. If the file does exist, the action will find a corresponding group (or create one) to append the extracted definition.
JSON Schemas Now Support using a Reference ($ref) in Conjunction with Other Keywords:
When building a JSON schema, you can now use a reference ($ref) in conjunction with other type-specific keywords (such as properties or items) for stricter validation.
Containers Now Automatically Created When Dragging From Palette View to JSON Schema Design Editor:
When dragging and dropping a property/definition or pattern property from the Palette view to the JSON schema editor, if the component does not have the corresponding group component (properties, definitions, patternProperties), it will automatically be created.
OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/JSON-LD:
Edit and Validate OpenAPI Documents:
Oxygen now offers built-in support for automatic validation, content completion, and editing OpenAPI documents (versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1) in Text or Author mode.

You can activate/deactivate this feature in a new Ignored Validation Problems preferences page. The options page also includes a table that displays the problems that have been ignored and you have the option to restore a validation problem by removing it from the table.
For all validation problems that have an ID (error code), quick fix actions to ignore a problem in the current document or in all documents are included in the list of quick fix proposals.
The quick fix proposals are available when clicking the light bulb icon for the problem, when hovering over the problem in the editor, and from the context menu in the Results pane.
When you mark validation problems as ignored, they are no longer displayed in the editor pane. They are also marked with a gray color in the vertical stripe and Results view.
Ignore Validation Problems:
Ignore Schematron Validation Problems:
Validation problems that are reported when validating XML with a Schematron schema can also be ignored using the new quick fix actions. For the ignore validation problems proposals to be included in the list of quick fixes, the Schematron assert or report elements must have an ID.
Restore Ignored Validation Problems Directly in the Editor:
Once a validation problem has been ignored (hence, it is added to the Ignored Problems Table), you can hover over its gray marker in the vertical ruler to access a Remove from ignored problems list quick fix link (instead of going to the preferences page to remove it). Clicking this link results in the problem being removed from the list and the problem will no longer be ignored. This quick fix is also available from the contextual menu in the Results pane.
Customize the Color of Fatal Validation Errors:
The Document Validation preferences page now includes an option to customize the color of validation errors that are marked as fatal.
Option Added to Display Validation Problem IDs:
You can select a new option called Include problem ID in description that appears in the settings drop-down menu of the Results view's toolbar to have the problem ID (as provided by the validation engine) shown in the Description column. It can be helpful when trying to debug validation issues.
Hide Ignored Validation Problems:
A new toggle option (Show Ignored Problems) was added to the Settings drop-down menu in the Results view. If you have ignored validation problems, you can deselect this option to hide the ignored problems.

Version 20.1 of the Oxygen XML Developer includes new editing features and validation support for JSON documents, XSLT enhancements, and DITA publishing was updated to make the WebHelp output compliant with the Section 508 accessibility standard, making it accessible for people with disabilities. As usual, this version also contains numerous new add-ons, API, and component updates.
There are changes in:
DITA CSS-based PDF PublishingJSONXSLTAdd-onsOtherAPIComponent Updates
DITA CSS-based PDF Publishing
PDF Output based on HTML5 and CSS
The new DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS transformation scenario can be used to convert DITA maps to PDF. This scenario uses an HTML5 intermediate format similar to the one generated for the WebHelp transformation. It makes it possible to reuse the CSS styles between the two transformations.
Publishing Templates for PDF Transformations
You have the ability to create publishing templates and to use them in the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS transformation scenario. The same publishing template package (CSS files, media resources, XSLT extensions) can now contain both PDF and WebHelp Responsive customizations allowing you to easily bundle and share both customizations as a single publishing template. You can find more details in the technical documentation.
JSON
Validate JSON Documents Against JSON Schema
JSON files can now be validated against JSON schemas. The schemas can be associated with the JSON file using a JSON validation scenario. You can also validate against a specific JSON schema by using the Validate with action and select the JSON schema you want to validate against. Oxygen supports validating various types of JSON, including objects, arrays, numbers, and strings.
Validate JSON Schema
You now have the ability to validate JSON Schema documents. Oxygen supports the following JSON Schema versions: draft-04, draft-06, and draft-07.
Batch Validate JSON Documents
Multiple JSON documents that are currently selected in the Project view can be validated against JSON Schemas with a single action from the contextual menu.
New Document Templates to Create JSON Schemas
A new document template was added to help you create a specific version of a JSON Schema document.
Navigate References in JSON Documents
You can navigate to the definition of a property using the CTRL + Click shortcut. Holding the CTRL key causes the references to become clickable links.
More Contextual Menu Actions in the JSON Editor
More actions are now available in the contextual menu when editing JSON documents. For example, the Open File at Cursor action will open a file referenced at the cursor position.
JSON Format and Indent Improvements
Floating point representations are now properly preserved when formatting and indenting JSON documents.
XSLT
Content Completion Offers xsl:initial-template as a Template Name
In an XSLT 3.0 stylesheet, the Content Completion Assistant now helps you to easily set the name of a template to xsl:initial-template.
Improved XPath Syntax Highlighting
The syntax highlighting of embedded XPath expressions now provide better color highlighting for XPath 3.1 maps.
Saxon -relocate Parameter Now Supported in the Compile XSL Stylesheet for Saxon Tool
The Compile XSL Stylesheet for Saxon tool now includes a Relocatable option that can be used to control the Saxon -relocate parameter. It provides the ability to produce a relocatable export package (SEF) that can be deployed to a different location, with a different base URI.
Add-ons
To offer the benefit of more rapid release cycles, some new functionality was added using the Add-ons support.
Git Plugin Fixes and Performance Improvements
The add-on that adds support to work with a Git repository from within the application was updated to contain various performance optimizations, faster credential detection, bug fixes, and the ability to check out a specific branch when cloning a repository. For more information, see https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-git-plugin.
Updated DITA OT 3.x Add-on to DITA OT 3.1
The add-on that adds support to publish DITA content using DITA OT 3.x was updated to use DITA Open Toolkit version 3.1 and the latest Oxygen WebHelp Responsive plugins. For more information, see https://github.com/oxygenxml/dita-ot-3x-plugin.
Other
Allow Reusing Answer to Ask Editor Variables in Multiple Places
The new ${answer(@question_id)} editor variable can now be used in conjunction with the ${ask()} editor variable to ask the end users a question and afterwards use the provided answer in multiple places in new file templates, code templates, or various other XML fragments.
Execute Multiple Actions Sequentially in the Button Group Form Control
The Button Group form control now accepts the oxy_compount_action function within an oxy_action_list function, making it possible to execute multiple actions sequentially.
API
New cellFragment Argument for InsertTableOperation in DocBook
The ro.sync.ecss.extensions.docbook.table.InsertTableOperation API has a new argument, cellFragment, and its value will be inserted in every cell of the table in DocBook.
Component Updates
Saxon 9.8.0.12
Updated the built-in Saxon engine to version 9.8.0.12.
Eclipse 4.8 Photon
The Oxygen Eclipse plugin was updated to officially support the latest Eclipse version 4.8.
Calabash 1.1.21
Updated the Calabash engine to version 1.1.21.

XML Quick Fixes:
Schematron Quick Fixes
Schematron allows you to enforce business rules on XML documents and to communicate issues in a language the users understand, as the error messages are written by the schema developer rather than being generated by the validation engine. Similar to how a spell checking engine shows possible correct words that should replace a misspelled word, the schema developer can provide one or more possible actions that fix the reported problem. oXygen presents these actions through the Quick Fix support, allowing users to correct an issue by selecting one of the proposed solutions.
XML Quick Fixes when Validating Against Relax NG Schemas
The Quick Fix support was updated to provide actions for correcting various errors that appear in XML documents validated against Relax NG XML or Compact schemas, such as adding missing attributes, removing invalid elements, and more.
XML Refactoring:
XML Refactoring Tool
The XML Refactoring tool assists you with various refactoring tasks that cannot be resolved with a traditional Find/Replace operation. It helps you manage the structure of your XML documents and it includes a variety of operations, such as renaming, deleting, and inserting elements and attributes across a set of files. It is available in the Tools menu, the Project and DITA Maps Manager contextual menu.
Custom XML Refactoring Operations
For more complex projects, if the provided refactoring operations are not sufficient, oXygen Enterprise edition users can create their own custom refactoring operations and share them with other team members.
User Interface:
Customizable Toolbars
The toolbars in oXygen can now be customized at action level and you can decide the exact set of actions that are presented by each toolbar. Some of the toolbars have also been reorganized to better group related actions.
Graphite Color Theme
If you prefer dark backgrounds, you can use the new graphite color theme or use it as a starting point for setting your preferred colors. You can select it from the Theme drop-down menu found in the Appearance preferences page.
Improved HiDPI and Retina Support
oXygen now has a set of new icons that are more visually appealing, crisp, and specially tuned for HiDPI and Retina displays.
XQuery / XPath:
Formatting and Indenting XQuery Documents
XQuery files (version 1.0, 3.0 and XQuery Update 1.0) can be properly pretty printed, producing neater and consistent formatted content.
Formatting and Indenting Embedded XPath Expressions
When formatting XSLT, XSD, and Schematron documents, the values of the attributes that accept XPath expressions are properly pretty printed.
Other:
Updated SVN Client
The SVN Client tool includes a variety of improvements and bug fixes. The Create Patch operation was completely reworked and the Merge wizard now includes a pre-merge validation check. Also, various other operations received numerous improvements and their list of options were updated.
Online Help Option
A feature has been added to open the help system documentation online. This gives you access to the latest updates to the help documentation and allows you to send feedback through the WebHelp feedback system. If the Use online help option is enabled, pressing F1 while hovering over any part of the interface or selecting Help from the Help menu results in oXygen attempting to open the online help documentation. Otherwise, the local help documentation is opened in offline mode.
Controlled Values
You can use a configuration file to provide values for elements and attributes for a specific document type. The possible values can be either set in the configuration file or they can be the result of invoking an XSLT script that will produce those values dynamically, possibly by accessing external resources or web services.
Dynamic Content Conversion
oXygen provides special support for a convert protocol that can be used to chain predefined processors to import content from various sources dynamically. See the documentation for more details.
Ready for MarkLogic 8
oXygen has been updated to work with MarkLogic 8.
Automatic Escaping of Characters Outside Encoding Range
When saving a document edited in the Author mode, all characters that cannot be represented using the document encoding will be automatically converted to hexadecimal character entities.
Option to Lock Local Resources
A new option has been added in Preferences to Lock local resources. When this option is enabled and you open a file from the local file system or a shared network drive, oXygen locks the file for the current user and the file cannot be modified by other users while the lock exists.
Support for JATS Documents
A default JATS framework is included in oXygen that allows you to create new JATS documents from templates, and includes support for validation, content completion, copy/paste actions from external content, and converting documents to JATS.
Support for ISO StratML Documents
A default StratML framework is included in oXygen that allows you to create new ISO StratML documents from templates, validate and edit such documents as well as publish them as HTML or convert from StratML to ISO StratML. The visual authoring interface for ISO StratML includes support for hints and inline actions that can be enabled by selecting the corresponding style layers from the Styles drop-down.
Support for XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0 Documents
The XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) is a standard for passing data between tools during a localization process. The XLIFF support includes new document templates, validation, content completion, and CSS support and is available for XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0 document types.
Ignore Whitespaces in the "Find/Replace in Files" Operation
The Ignore extra whitespaces available in the Find/Replace in Files dialog box enables the search process to deal with multiple consecutive whitespaces as being a single space character. For instance, searching for a phrase like "better product" in documents containing the "better [newline] product", will find a match.
Compare Files Tool Includes Support for XML Fragment Comparison
You can use the Compare Files tool to compare XML fragments, without selecting files, by copying and pasting the fragments into both sides of the tool. Various XML diff algorithms are supported for XML fragments, and comparison and merging actions are available from the toolbar or contextual menu.
Define Shortcut Keys for Code Templates
When a code template is created or edited, a shortcut key can be defined for quickly inserting it into a document.
Deprecated Support for Documentum CMS
Support for Documentum CMS has been deprecated and the integration will not be actively maintained.
Component Updates:

SHAREPOINT INTEGRATION:
SharePoint Browser View:
The SharePoint Browser has been promoted as a dedicated view, allowing you to interact with SharePoint repositories through a set of specific actions.
VISUAL XML EDITING:
Track Surround Changes:
If Change Tracking support is enabled, all content surround operations are marked as changes.
Rectangular Selection in Tables:
You can now select rectangular blocks of cells in tables. You can then use this selection to edit properties or delete the content of the selected cells.
Show Location Tooltip on Mouse Move:
When editing XML documents in a visual environment you might find it difficult to position the caret between certain tags that do not have a visual representation. To help you, oXygen displays a semi-transparent preview of the Position Information Tooltip when hovering between two elements.
New media Rules for Windows High Contrast Themes:
Two application-specific media rules allow you to add specific styles for white-background and black-background high contrast Windows themes when editing in the Author visual editing mode.
Paste as Text Action:
The new Paste as Text pastes the clipboard content, ignoring any structure or styling markup, if any.

New in oXygen XML Developer 16.0 Build 2014051618 (May 21, 2014)

XSLT development received a productivity burst in XML Developer 16 with the addition of Quick Fixes support and improvements to refactoring actions. If you develop XSLT stylesheets to work with Saxon-CE in the browser, will assist you with validation and content completion for the Saxon-CE specific extensions.
Querying a set of files with XPath is facilitated by the new XPath execution scope setting that can point to a predefined or a user defined set of files.
If you use Ant to orchestrate build processes then will support you with a powerful Ant editor featuring validation, content completion, outline view, syntax highlight and search and refactoring actions.
As usual, the new version includes many component updates and new API functionality.
There are changes in:
XSLT Quick Fixes:
To improve development productivity offers rapid fixes for common errors that appear during XSLT development. Using the Quick Fix support you can resolve problems like missing templates, misspelled template names, missing functions or references to undeclared variables or parameters.
Improved XSLT Refactoring:
XSLT refactoring support has been improved by adding new refactoring actions and enhancements to the existing ones. If you want to reuse an XPath expression, you can use a new refactoring action to extract that expression as a variable or parameter. The Move to another stylesheet refactoring action allows you to move one or more XSLT global components into a new or existing stylesheet. To make refactoring actions more accessible the Quick Assist feature displays the refactoring actions relevant to the current editing context.
Saxon-CE Specific XSLT Development Support:
Saxon-CE (Client Edition) provides integrated XSLT 2.0 support in the web browser. XSLT stylesheets designed to work with Saxon-CE use specific extensions to integrate with the web browser and to react to user generated events. helps you develop XSLT stylesheets for Saxon-CE with special validation, content completion and syntax highlight support, all aware of Saxon-CE extension functions and instructions.
XPath Over Multiple Files:
Now you can easily execute XPath expressions over multiple files. You can choose one of the predefined scopes (Current File, Entire Project, Currently Selected Files from the Project view, All Open Files, DITA Map hierarchy) or define your own collection of files.
XPath File Filter:
You can execute XPath expressions over all the files from the selected scope or you can define an additional filter that will select the relevant resources from that scope. The default filter selects all the known XML file types.
Stop XPath Execution:
An XPath expression executed over multiple documents may take a long period of time to complete. During the execution of an XPath expression, the XPath toolbar now displays a Stop button that allows you to stop the processing.
Ant Editor now provides a full-fledged Ant build files editor that comes with features like validation, content completion, Outline View, syntax highlight and search and refactoring actions.
Ant Outline View:
The Outline view is available for the Ant build files editor, offering you an overview of the Ant components and the possibility to focus on a specific subset using the filter box.

Eclipse Author Validation Stripe:
The Eclipse Plugin was enhanced to contain a vertical validation stripe in the Author visual editing mode showing an overview of all reported validation errors.
Editor Variable for Evaluating XPath 3.0 Expressions:
The xpath_eval(expression) editor variable allows you to evaluate XPath 3.0 expressions either statically, in non-XML contexts, or dynamically, relative to the current element, in XML contexts. As an example, this gives you access to all standard XPath functions like replace(), substring() or upper-case() when you compute the output file name of a transformation.
Better Application Tooltips Styling:
The user interface has been improved by using rich HTML for displaying tooltip information. For example, in the case of a validation error the tooltip may contain a link to an external web page.

New in oXygen XML Developer 15.1 Build 2013100313 (Oct 5, 2013)

XML Master Files - Working with Modular XML Files:
oXygen helps you edit XML modules referred using XInclude or External Entities. By setting the XML Master File, oXygen provides a context to solve issues like module validation, editing using the content completion assistant, ID referencing or XML module connection overview (understanding how modules are connected with each other).
XML Module Validation
When you validate an XML document, oXygen automatically determines the master files which refer that module and validates the entire hierarchy of assembled modules. This is especially useful when, for example, a module refers IDs declared in another part of this hierarchy.
XML Module Editing
The Content Completion Assistant uses the schema declarations from the master files and proposes only elements and attributes valid in a particular editing context.
Search/Refactor Support for ID/IDREFS
The Master Files defined for the current module determines the scope of the search and refactoring actions for ID/IDREFS values and for updating references when renaming/moving a resource. oXygen performs the search and refactoring actions in the context that the master files determine, improving the speed of execution.
Modules Connections Overview
The Resource Hierarchy/Dependencies view now allows you to visualize and understand the relationship between XML resources that are referred using the XInclude and External Entity mechanisms.
Renaming or Moving an XML Module Updates Its References
oXygen automatically updates all the references to a module when the module is renamed or moved in the Project or the Resource Hierarchy Dependencies view.
XML Visual Editing:
Bidirectional Text Support in Author Editing Mode
oXygen is the first XML editor to offer complete support for languages that require right to left scripts. This means that content authors editing documents in the oXygen Author mode are able to create and edit XML content in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu and many others.
Table Sorting Support
The advanced sorting support lets you sort the content of an entire table (including tables that contain cells that span over multiple columns), of a selection of rows and also the items of a list. Out of the box sorting support for DITA, Docbook, TEI and XHTML is included (CALS and HTML table models).
Tracked Changes Displayed in Read-only Fragments
oXygen renders the tracked changes in fragments referred using DITA content reference, XInclude or XML Entities mechanisms.
Track Attribute Changes
The Track Changes feature is now able to keep track of changes made to XML attributes.
Character Map Improvements:
Improved Search Capabilities
Added search capabilities by character description in the "Character Map" dialog box.
Author API and Extensibility:
Form-based Editing in Author - Tooltip Property
The newly added "tooltip" property lets you set a tooltip for the entire form control.
XPath Extension Functions
When defining the activation expression of an author action you can use two new XPath functions
oxy:allows-child-element('child_name')
oxy:current-selected-element('element_name')
one to test that the current element (the one containing the caret) accepts a child element, and another one to test that the element covered by the selection has a certain name.
Sharing the Classloader Between a Framework and a Plugin
A framework and a plugin that are part of the same solution can now share the same JAVA libraries.
DITA Support:
Additional Output Formats
Added support to convert DITA maps to Kindle. Also, now you can convert Microsoft OOXML documents to DITA projects.
Support for DITA For Publishers Specializations
Creating, editing and validating DITA content based on the specializations included in the DITA For Publishers Project are now supported out of the box.
Redesigned dialogs for inserting DITA cross references and content references
By redesigning the dialogs used for inserting DITA xref links or content references, oXygen allows easier searching for target elements in topics containing many reusable components (dictionary-like content).
DocBook Support:
EPUB 3 Output
An experimental transformation scenario that produces EPUB 3 output from DocBook 4 and DocBook 5 resources has been added.
CMS Integration and Connectivity:
SharePoint Filtering Support
You can filter the content stored on a SharePoint Repository depending on the columns available for the current library. oXygen allows you to apply multiple filters at the same time to display the items you are interested in.
Project View Enhancements
Update References to Moved or Renamed Resources
When you move or rename a resource, oXygen gives you the option to update its references in a customizable scope. This operation is available for XML, XSLT, XML Schema, Relax NG, and WSDL resources.
MarkLogic Support:
Ready for MarkLogic 7
oXygen is compatible with the development version of MarkLogic 7.
MarkLogic XQuery Editing Support
When editing MarkLogic XQuery modules, the Content Completion Assistant presents the latest built-in XQuery functions in accordance with the server version.
Fast XDBC Application Server Selection
The XDBC server used to execute XQuery expression can be quickly selected using the new Use it to execute queries action from the Data Source Explorer view.
Setting a Specific Content Database
You can now set a specific content database over which the XQuery expressions are executed.
Eclipse Plugin:
Support for Eclipse 4.3
The oXygen XML Eclipse plugin now supports Eclipse 4.3 in addition to the already supported previous versions of Eclipse (3.4 - 3.7).
Syncro SVN Client:
Repair Items Copied, Moved, or Renamed Outside of an SVN Client
Items that were copied, moved, or renamed without using an SVN client can be repaired to maintain their history, making SVN aware of all the changes.
Improved Copying of Repository Items
Repository items can now be copied from revisions other than the latest one, allowing you to recover any previous version you might need. This is allowed even if you are browsing older revisions in the Repositories view.
Extended Support for Copying Repository Items
Any version of a repository item can be retrieved directly when browsing its history either in the History view, Directory Change Set view, or Revision Graph view.
Resurrect Items Deleted from the Repository
Even if an item does not exist in the latest revision of the repository, its history is still preserved. Syncro SVN Client can resurrect any item presented as deleted in the History view, Directory Change Set view, or Revision Graph view.

CMS Integration and Connectivity:
Specialized Dialog to Browse a SharePoint Server
The Open URL dialog offers a specialized layout for browsing resources stored on a SharePoint server.
DITA Support:
User-defined Root Map:
DITA 1.2 specifies the concept of a root map that defines the editing context, providing the starting point to determine the keys and the subject scheme values. used the current map from the DITA Maps Manager as the root map but in version 15 the root map can be also set to a specific map, thus allowing opening sub-Maps in the DITA Maps Manager while still correctly resolving keys and subject scheme values as they are defined in the selected root map.
Subject Scheme Support:
A Subject Scheme Map allows you to define hierarchical sets of values and to control which values should be allowed for specific attributes. will propose the defined values to the user and the DITA validation will check the values used in your topics against those defined values. The subject scheme values are presented also in the dialog for setting profiling attributes.
DITA Style Guide Integration:
You can quickly access Tony Self's DITA Style Guide using the Style Guide action. This action is available also from the contextual menu, in which case will try to identify the style guide topic that is relevant to the current context. Some automatic checks were also implemented using Schematron to identify issue specified by the style guide. When such an issue is identified then the warning message will also contain a link pointing to the style guide topic that describes the identified issue.
Export DITA Map:
When you work on a project with multiple resources or multiple DITA maps it is difficult to identify all the resources that are used in a specific map. You may want to identify all those resources in order to remove unused resources or in case you want to share your map with someone else. The new export DITA map action allows you to easily obtain all the resources referred from a specified DITA Map.
Enforce Business Rules and QA checks on All Topics from a DITA Map:
The action that validates and checks a DITA Map verifies all the topics referred from a DITA Map. Now you have the option to specify a Schematron schema that can implement your company rules and QA checks and the DITA map validate action will apply that on all the topics.

The SVN Client offers support to commit working copy items across multiple external definitions in one single step. No more overhead to handle external modified items one by one. Even more, for SVN 1.7 working copies, externals from the same repository are committed together, resulting less revisions generated in the repository.
Remove Items from Version Control:
Easily remove items from version control using a dedicated option. You no longer have to take different actions to avoid erasing files from your working copy when needing to remove items only from the repository.
Improved Working Copy Items Deletion:
Any item missing from a working copy can be deleted, including missing directories. The Delete action is more powerful and can help you with removing working copy items that have states raising issues and unusual behaviors.
Improved Commit:
Committing working copy changes has never been easier. The Commit operation was improved to help you when committing new items in the repository (unversioned or added), by automatically collecting their ancestor directories which also need to be versioned. Also, missing directories are now deleted when committing them. Finally, the commit dialog box was redesigned to present items in a working-copy-like style and information more appropriate for this operation.
Improved File Handling on Case-Insensitive File Systems:
File renames outside of the SVN client, on case-insensitive file systems, are better handled regarding the Delete and Commit operations. The situations when a file was lost after changing only letter-cases of its name were removed.
Better State Detection and Triage of Working Copy Items:
The states of the working copy items are detected in a more accurate manner. Any type of changes of a working copy item are now presented in the Incoming mode, allowing you to easily spot all sort of changes, including the ones which cannot be committed to the repository.

New in oXygen XML Developer 14.1 Build 20120101809 (Oct 20, 2012)

Version 14.1 of XML Editor makes XML authoring available to everybody, by allowing attributes to be edited directly in the Author view though form like controls and placing actions directly in the document flow. This also expands the range of documents that can be edited visually to any XML document, no matter where the content is stored, in elements or attributes.
The built-in frameworks support was improved, especially the DITA support which features better error reporting and a rename/move topic refactoring action.
The XML developers can use XML to start experimenting with the new XML Schema 1.1 standard, while the huge XML files support allows them to edit multi GB documents.
As many partners depend now on XML for their solutions, a lot of effort was put into improving and expanding the API to allow them to develop more integrated oXygen-powered applications.
As usual updates many components to their latest versions, the embedded SVN client supports now Subversion 1.7 and the Eclipse plugin distribution works with Eclipse version 4.2.

New in oXygen XML Developer 14.0 Build 2012062215 (Jun 28, 2012)

XML Development:
Master Files:
introduces a new innovative concept called Master Files which simplifies the configuration and development of XML projects. Master Files are the roots of import/include tree of modules. They are defined at project level and are automatically used to determine the context for: validation, editing (content-completion and outliner), refactoring and component search operations. This support is available for XSD, XSL and RNG modules.
XSLT Unit Test:
provides XSLT Unit Test support based on XSpec. You can easily create a test for an XSLT stylesheet using the New -> XSLT Unit Test contextual action in the Project View. This action automatically generates an XSpec stub for the templates and functions from the stylesheet that you want to test. Editing XSpec is assisted with content completion and validation, and a default transformation scenario allows to run the tests, generating as output the test report.
XPath/XQuery Builder:
The new XPath and XQuery builder is a powerful sandbox tool designed to help you in building, reusing and testing XPath and XQuery code snippets. Using the content completion assistant and syntax highlight coloring, you can quickly build queries and you can reuse them either from the history stack or from the favorites list.
CTRL/CMD + Click Navigation:
By holding down CTRL (CMD on Mac) in the Text editing mode some components become links that you can follow to get to the definition of those components. For example, in an XML document, an element name becomes a link to that element definition in the associated schema or DTD. In an XSL stylesheet, a variable reference becomes a link to that variable definition, and so on.
In-Place Rename:
Refactoring your code is a lot easier with the rename component action that allows you to rename a component and all its occurrences in the current file without showing any dialogs. All the component occurrences are highlighted and changed as you type. provides a default shortcut to quickly trigger this action: Alt+Shift+R (Alt+Cmd+R on Mac).
XSLT 3.0:
XSLT 3.0 support is automatically activated for each XSLT stylesheet having the version attribute set to 3.0. provides content completion for XSLT 3.0 stylesheets, support for transformations and XSLT validation, updated Outline view and search and refactoring actions that handle new additions in the XSLT 3.0 standard.
XQuery 3.0:
The XQuery editor and the new XQuery builder allow you to edit and execute XQuery 3.0 expressions (including schema aware ones). The Saxon 9 XQuery processor is used for execution and validation. The new functions defined in XQuery 3.0 are presented in the content completion assistant.
XPath 3.0:
The XSLT 3.0 and XQuery 3.0 specifications are based on XPath 3.0 so updates its XPath support to cover the new additions in XPath 3.0. The new XPath builder allows you to edit and execute XPath 3.0 expressions.
Authoring:
Display Review Comments as Callouts:
When you annotate your XML documents, the comments are displayed in the Author view as side callouts (balloons) showing also additional information like the author and the comment time.
Display Tracked Changes as Callouts:
Along with review comments, the changes can be presented as callout boxes (balloons) next to the editing area, thus making it easy to collaborate on document editing and review. You can control what type of changes are displayed as well as the additional information: changed content, date, time and author. To enable the balloons for tracked changes, use the Callouts options page.
Feedback-enabled WebHelp:
Starting with version 14, added the ability to transform DITA and DocBook documents into Feedback-Enabled WebHelp systems, beeing the first XML Single Source Publishing solution which supports this technology. This means that the communication is bidirectional. The users that visit the documentation pages are able to see the added comments and reply to them.
Column and Row Table Operations:
By allowing to select entire rows and columns you can easily copy or move table data using copy/paste and drag and drop operations.
Complete DITA 1.2 Implementation in Relax NG:
The complete set of DITA 1.2 schemas is available in Relax NG and provides full support for creating, authoring and publishing DITA documents based on those Relax NG schemas. The DITA support in Relax NG was contributed back to the DITA community as an open source project: DITA-NG.
XPath Filter for Find/Replace in Author Mode:
The XPath filter which was available only in Text mode is now available in the visual editing (Author) mode.
Preview conref Target Elements
The insertion of a DITA conref is easier because shows a preview of the target elements using the visual Author mode.
Discontinuous selection [ read more... ]
You can select multiple text ranges (discontinuous selection) or multiple elements in the Author page and cut/copy/paste them.
Partial Support for EPS Images:
If the JAI Image I/O Tools libraries are installed in , TIFF preview images embedded in referenced EPS images are rendered in the Author mode. Note that this is an experimental support.
CSS 3 Substring Matching Attribute Selectors
The Author editing mode supports the CSS 3 "starts-with", "ends-with" and "contains" attribute selectors.
Plugins and Frameworks:
Plugin and Framework Repositories:
As a developer you will be able to distribute your plugins and frameworks to other users by publishing them as add-ons on your website. The users can easily install new plugins and frameworks by just pointing oXygen to a repository URL. They will be able to browse available plugins and frameworks and select the ones they want to install. When an add-on is changed, an update notification is triggered in oXygen.
StratML Framework:
Support for Strategy Markup Language Part 1 and Part 2 is default in , offering default schema association based on the document namespace, built-in XML Catalog for mapping remote StratML schema references to local copies, easy creation of new StratML documents though document templates, visual editing in the Author mode and default transformation to HTML.
Increased Framework Portability:
A new editor variable ${framework} that is expanded to the current framework folder allows you to refer to resources like schemas, CSS stylesheets, and so on, in a portable way, that does not depend on the actual framework location.
Localized Frameworks:
A framework provides specific support for an XML vocabulary - this is what uses to provide a default support for DITA, DocBook, TEI, etc. Starting with version 14 the frameworks support internationalization and the main default frameworks were localized in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese.
Specific Element Icons:
Many of the default frameworks (DITA, Docbook, TEI, XHTML, XSL and XML Schema) were updated to use the API that allow providing custom icons for elements to provide specific icons, for example to easily distinguish a title, a paragraph, a list, etc. These icons appear in the Outline view and in the content completion list when an element is proposed to be inserted in the document.
Transformation and Validation:
Unified Presentation of Transformation Scenarios:
All transformation scenarios are presented regardless of their storage: the project file, user preferences, or frameworks. You can easily import and export scenarios, and change their storage location.
Associate Multiple Transformation Scenarios:
You can publish to multiple output formats with just one click. For instance, if you associate DITA to PDF and DITA to Webhelp scenarios to a DITA map then the "Apply Transformation" action will perform both transformations.
Unified Presentation of Validation Scenarios:
All validation scenarios are presented regardless of their storage: the project file, user preferences, or frameworks. You can easily import and export scenarios, and change their storage location.
Associate Multiple Validation Scenarios:
You can associate multiple validation scenarios with your documents.
EPUB:
EPUB 3.0:
The EPUB support was updated to include validation for EPUB 3.0 files. The support for the files included inside an EPUB was also updated to support the new files referred by the EPUB 3 specification.
Eclipse Plugin:
Internationalization Support for the Eclipse Plugin:
is available both as a standalone Java application and as an Eclipse plugin. The internationalization support was available only in the standalone version and now it was extended to cover also the Eclipse plugin. By default the Elipse plugin is localized in the following languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese.
MathML Editing in the Eclipse Plugin:
MathML equations are rendered in the visual editing (Author) mode. For editing, provides a simple MathML visual editor that presents the rendered equation and the MathML source side by side and synchronizes the caret position in both views to quickly map from the rendered equation to the source and vice-versa.
MarkLogic:
Remote XQuery Debugging on MarkLogic Server:
The new capabilities of enable debugging of real applications that use XQuery, for example web applications that trigger XQuery executions. connects to a MarkLogic server, shows you the running XQuery scripts and allows you to debug them. By setting the server in debug mode you will be able to intercept all the XQuery scripts run on that server.
The remote debugging support allows also collaborative debugging, two or more developers can connect to the same debugging session.
XQuery Validation:
The XQuery modules can be validated using the MarkLogic server thus you can spot possible issues quickly, without the need to actually execute that XQuery script. The validation support requires MarkLogic 5 or a later version.
Remote Editing:
It is possible to edit a module opened directly from the MarkLogic connection, without the need to go though a file or WebDAV peer connection.
Other:
Find and Replace in Files Improvements:
The Find and Replace in files support was updated to support text on multiple lines. Before applying a replace operation, you can also preview the changes that are about to be performed and you can also limit the scope of those changes to specific files.
Search Results Highlighted in Editors:
The results of the XPath, Find, Search References/Declarations operations are highlighted in the editor and marked in the side bar, in both Author and Text mode.
Show/Hide Element Names in Outline View:
You are able to control the visibility of the element names in the Outline View. Hiding element names allows you to focus more on the document content.
Improved JavaScript/JSON Support:
The JavaScript editing experience has been improved with the addition of Content Completion Assistant, synchronized Outline View and syntax validation. The Outline View can also be used when editing JSON files.
Browse Database Resources:
In most places where a resource is needed, uses a component that allows to easily identify what resource to open. This component includes now an action that allows browsing database collections to find the resource to open thus making the resources stored in databases easily accessible in many workflows.
Extended API:
A detailed list of all changes to the Java API can be found here.
Control the Callouts Rendering and Actions in Author Mode:
The ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.callouts.AuthorCalloutsController gives you the possibility to specify if the Track Changes insert and delete highlights and the review comment highlights should be rendered as callouts on a side bar in the Author mode.
The controller can be used also to decide the content and styling of the callouts corresponding to the custom persistent highlights. By using the AuthorPersistentHighlighter.setHighlightsActionsProvider(AuthorPersistentHighlightActionsProvider) method you can also provide the actions which are displayed in the popup menu of these callouts.
Handle Special Author Table Operations:
You can provide an extension of the ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.table.operations.AuthorTableOperationsHandler class in the ExtensionBundle implementation to handle insert and delete operations which are called when the user performs actions like delete, paste, drop, or move on table columns and rows.
Access to Author Selection Model:
This version adds support for multiple selection in the Author mode. The ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorSelectionModel API provides access to all Author selection intervals and contains methods for adding simple and multiple selections.
Listener for Author Track Changes and Review Comments Actions:
The ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.highlights.AuthorPersistentHighlightsListener can be set to receive notifications about persistent highlights triggered by add, remove, or update actions.
Frameworks Internationalization Support:
In order to provide a framework which can be used without modifications with multiple user languages, all action names and messages from the document types can be translated. The AuthorAccess.getAuthorResourceBundle() method was added to provide a message bundle that holds all the internationalized messages for a framework.
DITA Map Tree Component Integration:
Using this new Author Component API, a DITA Map Tree Component can be integrated in your applet or Java application. The component presents a DITA Map in a tree-like fashion similar to the DITA Maps Manager view of the XML standalone distribution. The DITA Map Tree Component provider can be obtained from the AuthorComponentFactory.createDITAMapTreeComponentProvider() method.
Provide DITA Key Definitions
The ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.ditamap.keys.KeyDefinitionManager can be used to provide information about key definitions which are used as a context for solving conkeyref and keyref references in all opened DITA topics.
In the standalone distribution extensions, the manager can be set by using the PluginWorkspace.setDITAKeyDefinitionManager(KeyDefinitionManager). If you are developing a plugin for plugin for Eclipse you can create a plugin extension, having the com.oxygenxml.editor.ditaKeyDefinitionManager extension point.
Licensing MathFlow Editor and MathFlow Composer:
Now it is possible to set a fixed key for licensing the MathFlow Editor (used for editing embedded MathML equations) and the MathFlow Composer (used for viewing embedded MathML equations). The licensing methods (setMathFlowFixedLicenseKeyForEditor(String) and setMathFlowFixedLicenseKeyForComposer(String)) can be found in both AuthorComponentFactory and StandalonePluginWorkspace.
Plugin Workspace Provider:
The ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.PluginWorkspaceProvider singleton provides access to the workspace API of the editor for plugins developed for both standalone and Eclipse distributions. By using it you can add listeners to editor-related events(for example editor opened, closed, page changed), obtain access to all opened editors, add option listeners, or save custom options.
Execute XPath Expressions against the Content of the Text Page:
The execution of XPath expressions against the content of the Text page can be done by using the evaluateXPath(String) and findElementsByXPath(String) methods, added in ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.text.xml.WSXMLTextEditorPage class. An instance of WSXMLTextEditorPage is returned by the ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.WSEditor.getCurrentPage(), when the current page is the Text page of an XML document editor.
Map between Text Page Offsets and their Line-Column Coordinate:
New methods were added in ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.text.WSTextEditorPage to provide the line and column coordinates of a specific offset (getLineOfOffset(int) and getColumnOfOffset(int)) or to get the offset corresponding to a line start or a line end position (getOffsetOfLineStart(int) and getOffsetOfLineEnd(int)).

Syncro SVN Client's flexible layout is back by popular demand. This allows you to adapt the application to different viewing conditions and personal requirements.
Redesigned History View:
The History View was redesigned to optimize the screen area usage and to improve the way the information is delivered:
Now you can group revisions by their commit date to easily locate changes in time.
Improved representation of the paths affected in a revision, following the same design used in the Working Copy and Repositories views. Data sorting and key search features were added to help you easily handle large sets of affected resources.
Added tree-like representation of the affected paths used for filtering them by location.
Improved Syntax Highlight:
Syncro SVN Client built-in editors feature a more accurate and efficient syntax highlight algorithm for the content you want to edit. Also, mixed content types are highlighted accordingly (like PHP scripts inside an HTML file).
Updated Components:
Calabash:
Calabash XProc processor was updated to version 0.9.43.
W3C CSS Validator:
W3C CSS Validator was updated to version 2.0 (v. 2010_0).
DITA Open Toolkit:
DITA Open Toolkit was updated to version 1.5.4.
TEI XSL:
TEI XSL updated to version 6.5.
