Version 9.2 introduces a new XML Author edition specially tuned for content authors
providing a well designed interface for XML editing by keeping only the relevant
authoring features. The major additions in Oxygen XML Editor 9.2 are related to the
WYSIWYG-like editing support and in particular to the DITA support. The general
visual editing improvements include displaying the resolved content in the editor
and navigation through links. With the new DITA features that include a new DITA map
editor, actions for inserting conref links, a tight integration of the latest
version of the DITA Open Toolkit, Oxygen XML Editor becomes the leading DITA editor
and the easiest to use. Other improvements are browsing of XML databases using
WebDAV connections, better handling of Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) text,
support for the Intel® XML Software Suite and multiple component updates.

New in version 9.2:

Oxygen now offers a version specially suited for XML authoring enhancing the authors
productivity by providing a clean and easy to use interface. The new Oxygen XML
Author is available both as a separate product (standalone and Eclipse plugin) and
also as a part of Oxygen XML Editor.

The DITA support reaches maturity with the new additions in version 9.2. The new
DITA maps manager allows viewing and editing DITA map files and also acts as a
project manager allowing to open different topics for editing. The tool chain for
generating DITA output in a multitude of formats (XHTML, PDF, HTML, JavaHelp,
Eclipse Help, DocBook, etc.) is ready to use out of the box as Oxygen tightly
integrates the latest version of the DITA Open Toolkit through its normal
transformation scenarios support. There is also special support for easily inserting
content references.

Version 9.2 provides also significant improvements for the generic WYSIWYG editing
support. The authors can have an overview of the actual document with the
included/referred content presented in the editor. The support for navigation using
links makes going from a reference to the referred content just a click away.

To enhance productivity with XML schema validation and XSLT transformation using
Intel® XML Software Suite, Oxygen XML Editor 9.2 provides special support to easily
configure and use the Intel XML Software Suite in its normal development work flow.

There are also improvements in the support for XML Schema, Schematron, XML databases
and XML editing.

A number of components were updated to their latest version. These include the DITA
Open Toolkit (1.4.2.1), the DocBook XML framework (schema version 5.0 and
stylesheets version 1.73.2) and the Saxon B XSLT processor from Saxonica (9.0.0.4).
Oxygen XML editor supports also the Saxon SA 9.0.0.4 (that requires a separate
license from Saxonica).
