[ANN] Oxygen XML Editor version 25

[George Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

Hello,

I am happy to announce that a new major version of Oxygen XML Editor has 
been released, along with many of the XML-related tools that we also 
provide.
The new version is immediately available from our website:
https://www.oxygenxml.com

Oxygen XML Editor updates the Saxon XSLT/XQuery/XML Schema engine to its 
latest version, further extends the JSON support to be comparable with 
the support for XML, allows to transparently work with some non-DITA/XML 
resources such as Word, Excel, OpenAPI, HTML, and Marksown as if they 
were DITA topics, and much more.

We highlighted the most important Oxygen XML Editor version 25 additions 
in a short video:

New" page:

In addition to the core Oxygen XML Editor product we released also 
version 25 of other Oxygen XML tools, including:

* Oxygen XML Web Author

This major release provides enhancements to the general user interface, 
new DITA authoring features, more customization possibilities, 
refinements to concurrent editing sessions, and performance tweaks.

* Oxygen Publishing Engine

Oxygen Publishing Engine is available both as part of some Oxygen XML 
products, like Oxygen XML Editor, and also as a separate tool in order 
to enable automation of publishing tasks. It includes Oxygen XML WebHelp 
and Oxygen PDF Chemistry and in its latest release offers a variety of 
customization possibilities, new transformation parameters, properties, 
component updates, and bug fixes for both WebHelp and PDF publishers.
For more details, please check the "What's new" page:

* Oxygen XML Scripting

Many functions provided by Oxygen XML editor, like  generating 
documentation from XML Schema or XSLT, applying XML refactoring 
operations, etc. were extracted to be invoked from command line to 
enable their use in automation tasks, and the access to them is provided 
via Oxygen XML Scripting.
This release added a new Validate Command Line Script that can be used 
for validating files or directories and generating reports in several 
formats (text, XML, JSON, or an HTML visual format). Also, the Batch 
Converter script now includes the option to convert multiple documents 
from OpenAPI to DITA.
For details please see the release notes:

As always, we appreciate your feedback!

Best Regards,
George
