Hi everyone,
We are excited to announce that Oxygen XML Developer/Editor version 26.1
is now available!
Listing below some new features which may be useful for the XSL community:
XSLT / XQuery / XPath / XProc
==================================
* New versions for the Saxon XSLT and XQuery transformer add-on are now
available to install. They integrate the latest available engine
versions for Saxon 10 (10.9), 11 (11.6), and 12 (12.4).
* XSLT 3.0 is now used as the default version for the various components
within the application. New document templates, sample files, and
various options within preferences pages now have XSLT 3.0 set as the
default rather than 2.0.
* XProc 3.0 schemas were added to offer support for content completion
and validation for XProc 3.0 files. The validation support for version
3.0 is only available using the default validation engine (if a custom
engine is used, version 3.0 support depends on whether it is available
for that particular custom engine).
JSON and XSLT
==================================
* An enhanced feature was added that enables you to transform JSON
documents using XSLT processing. This involves the implementation of
transformation scenarios, which can be created and linked to JSON
documents. This facilitates the smooth processing of JSON documents,
streamlining the overall workflow. See Transforming JSON Documents with
XSLT for more details.
* It is now possible to transform multiple JSON documents at once with
XSLT processing. To achieve this, select multiple JSON documents in the
Project view, and from the contextual menu, you can choose to apply or
configure an XSLT transformation scenario.
Text Mode
==================================
* The Toggle Comments action that is used to enclose the currently
selected fragment in a comment is now context dependent, making it
possible to comment multiple types of languages within a document. For
example, you can comment XML, CSS, JavaScript, or XPath fragments inside
an XSLT document.
* A new Apply all default quick fix proposals action was added in the
Text editing mode's contextual menu that can be used to batch execute
all detected default quick fix proposals for all reported validation errors.
File Comparison
==================================
* Improvements were made to the Merge Documents with Change Tracking
Highlights tool to provide better handling of particular cases where
documents with extensive structural changes are compared (one such
example would be the case in which elements are renamed to ensure that
the new structure is generated correctly and all the attributes are
copied). This should help eliminate false validation errors when
comparing pairs with lots of structural changes.
Deprecated/Removed Components
==================================
* The frameworks for editing EAD, KML, and StratML documents are now
available as separate projects in the Oxygen XML GitHub organization.
* The support for the Tree Editor (Tools->Tree Editor) has been
officially deprecated and will be removed in a future major release.
* The support for editing WSDL files and for the WSDL SOAP Analyser has
been officially deprecated and will be removed in a future major release.
* The support for using FTP and SFTP connections has been officially
deprecated and will be removed in a future major release.
* The support for connecting to Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Postgres,
MySQL, IBM DB2, and Marklogic databases has been officially deprecated
and will be removed in a future major release.
* The support for using the Xalan and XSLTProc XSLT processors has been
officially deprecated and will be removed in a future major release.
* The support for using the XSV (XML Schema Validator) and SQC (Schema
Quality Checker from IBM) custom validation engines has been removed.
