Galway, Ireland, June 8, 2004

Cladonia Limited today announced the immediate availability of Version 2.0
of the Exchanger XML Editor. Among the major enhancements are support for
the XML Signature specification, a standalone XSLT Debugger, WSDL Analyzer,
WebDAV and FTP functionality and overall improved performance.

The Exchanger XML Editor V2.0 is available for download from
www.exchangerxml.com


New in Exchanger XML Editor V2.0:
------------------------------------------------

This release contains a comprehensive XSLT debugger with support for Saxon
and Xalan.  The Exchanger XSLT debugger can be run in standalone mode as
well as integrated with the editor, thereby facilitating the debugging of
much larger input documents which do not have to be opened in the editor.
Transformation scenarios can be used to maintain setup state across editing
and debugging sessions and the debugger can also be used in an ad-hoc
manner, with the settings (such as input file, stylesheet, processor,
parameters and breakpoints) entered on the fly. As well as the usual
features like step into, step over, step out of and run to breakpoint, the
debugger has support for multiple call stacks and multiple traces that are
linked back to the input for improved feedback and also supports dynamically
updated local and global variables and parameters. A unique feature for
Saxon users allows content of multiple output files (created using the
<xsl:document> tag) to be redirected to the screen for enhanced debugging
functionality.

(Cladonia Ltd. would like to thank Ovidiu Predescu and Tony Addyman for
their permission to use code from XSLT-Process (see
http://xslt-process.sourceforge.net/) in the Exchanger XSLT Debugger. We are
committed to releasing modifications and enhancements under Mozilla Public
License.)

The XML Signature specification is now supported, allowing users to sign
document content and also to verify that a signature is correct. Enveloped
signatures, potentially using ID attributes and/or Canonicalization and
XPath transforms, are supported as are detached signatures that allow for
the signing of large or non-XML documents. There is also comprehensive
support for standalone canonicalization, both inclusive and exclusive, with
and without comments, with the user also being allowed to set an XPath for
specifying the portion of a document to use when generating the Canonical
XML form.

A WSDL Analyzer has been added that will process a web service description
and automatically generate an appropriate SOAP message for invoking the
service. SOAP functionality has been extended with SOAP with Attachments
(SAAJ), whereby the user can add or remove attachments to a SOAP message and
view the resultant MIME message that is generated.

Documents loaded in the Editor will not be modified in any way - this
criteria is essential for supporting canonicalization and signatures.

Namespace Prefix Mappings are supported in XPath.

WebDAV and FTP can now be used for opening and saving remote files.

New menu items have been included to add/modify an XML declaration
(including the encoding), Document Type Declaration or Schema location and
also to resolve XIncludes.

Version 2.0 has significantly improved performance and reduced memory
consumption when loading large documents.
