00:00:05We're very excited to announce the release  of Oxygen 27. This video will present some 
00:00:11highlights of new features and updates  that were added in this version.
00:00:16A myriad of new features were implemented  for the AI Positron Assistant, which is  
00:00:20an extra add-on that can be installed to  provide AI assistance. It now leverages  
00:00:25a retrieval augmented generation process to  use information gathered from your project  
00:00:29to make the AI's response more relevant. In this example, we have an XML file with some  
00:00:34basic instructions for creating a new draft. After we click the Generate Documentation Draft  button,
00:00:41 the AI retrieves information from the  project to generate a proposal for a draft. 
00:00:47We'll click the "Generate document from  response" button and the AI creates a  
00:00:51new document based on our instructions  and information from the project.  
00:00:57Intelligent Agents is a new category of AI actions  designed to streamline DITA topic management. 
00:01:03The Expand Draft action enhances a DITA topic by  using information gathered from related links and  
00:01:08the current project via the retrieval augmented  generation process mentioned earlier.  
00:01:14We can preview the proposed  changes before applying them.  
00:01:19For our example of a ficticious interface mode,  
00:01:22some minor cleanup will be required,  but it refined and expanded the topic  
00:01:26to be similar to topics from our project  about other similar interface modes.  
00:01:33Also in the Intelligent Agents category,  the Split Topic action can be used to  
00:01:37split large DITA topics with numerous  subjects into multiple topic files. 
00:01:43You can see that the AI generated  several new topics
00:01:47... and it modified  the original file as well.
00:01:51Another Intelligent Agent,  the Create Topics action generates DITA topics based on user input.
00:01:58We provided some simple instructions.  
00:02:00It also retrieves relevant project  content to shape the response. 
00:02:04The AI requests approval and we'll  confirm to continue the processing. 
00:02:10And it generated several topics  based on our instructions and data  
00:02:14retrieved from our project.
00:02:18Some new AI actions were also  added for reusing DITA content. For example, we'll find and select a note  
00:02:24that we think might already have an existing  reusable component defined in our project. 
00:02:29We'll use the "Reuse Component" AI action. And the AI found a similar reused component  
00:02:35and proposes to replace the note  with the reusable component. 
00:02:47Another example in the Reuse category  is the Product Name action.  
00:02:51It searches for product names in the content  and then the AI looks for any keys defined  
00:02:55for the specific product names and  replaces them with key references. 
00:03:06The Positron is now able to detect blocks  of XML code within the AI's response.  
00:03:12We'll select the table in our sample document.  
00:03:16And we'll give the AI instructions to  convert the table into a definition list.  
00:03:22Notice that the AI's response contains  XML markers surrounding XML code.  
00:03:29And we'll preview it to show that the Positron  is able to detect and insert the XML code. 
00:03:39Some new development AI actions  were also implemented. 
00:03:43For example, we'll use the Generate Code button to  have the AI propose code based on the instructions  
00:03:49specified in our XSLT document.
00:03:57Another development example, the Suggest  Refactoring action generates a suggestion for refactoring the selected code to simplify it  
00:04:05or make it easier to read and understand.
00:04:16The diff tool also received some enhancements.  Within the directories comparison tool,  you can click the settings button,  
00:04:25go to "Files Comparison"... and there's an option there  
00:04:29to "Ignore Nodes by XPath". We'll have it ignore  the id attribute of the concept element. 
00:04:38And after re-performing the comparison, you  see that it now detects fewer differences  
00:04:42since it ignored the nodes we specified.
00:04:48The quick fix support is now automated through  the Apply all default quick fix proposals tool,  making it possible to apply all proposed quick  
00:04:56fixes on one or more resources at once. There are numerous ways to invoke the tool.  
00:05:03We're invoking it from the DITA  Maps Manager in this example.  
00:05:08In most cases, you can choose a scope ...  "Current DITA map hierarchy" in this instance.  
00:05:15And it applies quick fix proposals  for all reported validation errors  in the specified scope.
00:05:23The built-in Saxon processor  
00:05:25used for XSLT and XQuery transformations and  debugging, has been updated to version 12.5. 
00:05:32The new 12.5 engines are  available to choose from.  
00:05:37And we'll invoke the content completion  in the XSLT file to show you that it  
00:05:41includes the latest extension functions.
00:05:54An enhanced feature was added that enables  you to transform JSON documents using XQuery processing.
00:06:01You see that there's a new JSON  transformation with XQuery scenario type. 
00:06:07We'll select our XSLT file... and apply the transformation. And in this case,  
00:06:14it produced XML content in the Results pane. The XQuery Builder view also now supports  
00:06:25running the XQuery over JSON documents. Notice there are 3 new Saxon 12.5 engines  
00:06:31specifically for JSON. The builder view allows you  to compose complex XQuery expressions and execute  
00:06:37them over the currently edited document.
00:06:40And you can see that it produced  XML output in the Results view.
00:06:46These were just a handful of examples  of the new features and enhancements that were implemented in Oxygen 27.  
00:06:52For a complete list of all the additions,  see our what's new page on our website.
