[George Cristian Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

Hi all,

I am happy to announce that a new version of oXygen XML Editor is 
available from our website
http://www.oxygenxml.com

The additions relevant for working with DocBook are detailed below, for 
the complete list of changes in oXygen 15.1 please see
http://oxygenxml.com/whatisnew15.1.html

I would like to invite you also to attend our oXygen users meetup in 
Munich, on November 17th. This is a free, full day event but 
registration is required. We will cover many interesting topics 
including EPUB, XProc, Schematron and creating simple user interfaces 
for XML authoring:

DocBook related changes in oXygen XML Editor 15.1:
--------------------------------------------------
* Work with XML modules
oXygen provides support for working with DocBook files that are included 
as external entities or using XInclude to provide
- automatic validation from the master file
- better editing support
- search and refactoring of ID values across the entire hierarchy
- how modules and master files are connected: hierarchy and dependencies 
views
- file rename/move actions will update refereces

* Full bibirectional (BiDi) editing support
You can use right to left scripts like Hebrew and Arabic in your DocBook 
documents and edit them directly in oXygen.

* DocBook table and list sorting
You can sort entire tables or lists as well as a specific selection 
based on different sorting criteria.
Short video, the example uses DITA but the same applies to DocBook: 
http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Sorting_Support.html

* DocBook to EPUB3 transformation
An experimental transformation scenario that produces EPUB 3 output from 
DocBook 4 and DocBook 5 resources has been added.

* Track changes displayed in read-only content
For example if you include a fragment with XInclude, that fragment is 
displayed read-only in the including file. oXygen displays now any 
tracked changes present in that fragment.

* Change tracking records attribute changes
This completes the track changes support and it is important for DocBook 
where for example you can specify bold and italic content only by 
changing the type attribute on the emphasis element.

* Search filter in character map
Finding special characters ie very easy now with the addition of a filer 
in the Insert from Character Map action. This filter works also on the 
character description so you can easily find for example a character 
that displays an arrow by typing "arrow" in the filter box.

Best Regards,
George
