XML Editor

When editing DITA documents, you can now quickly invoke context-specific common actions. They are available in a floating toolbar that pops up when you select content. For example, if you select content inside a paragraph element, the floating toolbar includes common styling actions such as Bold, Italic, Underline, Subscript, Superscript, as well as actions for inserting code snippets or various types of links.

You can now edit submaps (i.e. add topics, change properties, or move topic references) directly in a main map opened in the DITA Maps Manager view. To do this, you need to enable the Allow referenced submaps to be edited option in the DITA -> Maps preferences page.

A DITA map opened using the Open Map in Editor with Resolved Topics toolbar button from the DITA Maps Manager is displayed with all of the content from its topic references expanded and editable in-place. This is possible if you enable the Allow referenced content to be edited from Editor > Edit Modes > Author preferences page.

To help you reduce the amount of time consumed by the publishing phase, Oxygen now offers parallel execution of DITA-OT or Ant-based transformation scenarios. You can access this new option, called Run in parallel (DITA-OT and Ant scenarios), simply by selecting multiple transformation scenarios in the Configure Transformation Scenarios dialog box.

• Content completion support based on a JSON Schema - The properties and values that can be inserted in a certain context are presented in the content completion window.
• Validation - You can validate JSON documents against a JSON Schema or a Schematron schema, directly in the visual editing mode.
• Execute XPath expressions - Support was added to execute XPath expressions over JSON documents in the visual editing mode using the XPath toolbar or XPath/XQuery Builder view.
• Built-in frameworks - Built-in frameworks where added for JSON, JSON Schema, and OpenAPI (Swagger) documents, but you can also find a set of sample frameworks in the [OXYGEN-INSTALL-DIR]/samples/json/author/ folder.

The terminology checker was also updated with more features such as support for regular expression matches, replacements with XML content, and various severity levels for the matches. A small set of Vale rules implemented in Yaml is also supported. For more details, go to https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-terminology-checker-plugin.

• The Git Client now contributes a new side-view, called the Git Branch Manager, which presents all the local and remote branches as a tree. Actions were added to the tree's contextual menu to make it very easy to check out branches, and to create or delete branches.
• You can now easily switch between local branches using a drop-down menu from the top-right corner of the Git Staging view or by using the Git Branch Manager.
• The JGit component included in the Git Client was updated to version 5.9.0.
• Some editor variables are now supported, including: ${git(working_copy_name)}, ${git(working_copy_path)}, ${git(short_branch_name)}, ${git(full_branch_name)}.
• You can now undo changes by moving the HEAD of the current branch to the selected commit using the new Reset "[branch_name]" to this commit action.
• Various actions and options were added to enhance the Git Client. For example, you can amend the last commit, automatically push changes to the remote repository, compare two revisions of the same file, reset stored credentials, and more options to create a new branch.
