Hi,
As you probably got used to by now, every few months we have a new
release of oXygen, so here it is, brand new - version 8.2:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/
What's new and also XSLT related?
The main addition is support for *working with modules*, that is with
XSLT stylesheets that are supposed to be included or imported in other
XSLT stylesheets.
Imagine a stylesheet that defines a global variable and that includes
another one that uses that global variable. What happens when you work
on the included file? You will get errors if you try to validate it
because the variable is not defined in the included file - thus the
module is invalid by itself but valid if included from the main file
that defines the global variable.
oXygen 8.2 solve this problem allowing you to configure a validation
scenario and instead of validating the module file you can instruct
oXygen to validate the main file, thus you get the current module file
validated in the context it is used from.
A validation scenario allows you to specify a set of files to validate
and for each file what processor to use and whether or not to perform
continuous validation. Thus they do not only solve the problem of
working with modules, they also enable support for performing *multiple
validations in a single action*.
One usecase here is for instance if you want to make sure the your file
is validated against different processors - instead of validating it
against each processor in part you just configure a validation scenario
that validates it against all the processors.
Another usecase is for instance if you want to make sure a module is
valid in different contexts - imagine a module that is reused by
different applications - then when you edit it you can specify all the
files that include it to be validated, thus you know that your code will
work in all situations you are using it.
Another XSLT related addition is the updated *support for the latest
Saxon 8 XSLT 2.0 processor* from Saxonica. oXygen 8.2 supports Saxon
8.9.0.3, both the Basic version and the Schema Aware version (for the
later you need a separate license from Saxonica) for validation,
transformations, debugging and profiling.
These are the directly XSLT related additions, there are of course a lot
of others that have an indirect link to XSLT, like support for showing
the XPath of the current location, multi-line find replace, configurable
priority list with the attributes that appear in the Outliner, etc. The
full list with more details is available from
http://www.oxygenxml.com/index.html#new-version
All the best,
George
