[George Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

Hi all,

The latest major release of the Oxygen XML set of tools is available 
from our website:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/

Along with the XML tools update, we announce the release of Oxygen JSON 
Editor - a specialized product for JSON developers, designed for editing 
JSON and JSON Schema documents, as well as supporting JSON-related 
technologies:

Some highlights of the 26 release:

Oxygen AI Positron Assistant
============================

This release introduces the exciting new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, 
an add-on that provides a powerful AI tool to help increase productivity 
while providing ways to keeps the user in control, offering a visual 
diff comparison to quickly understand changes and the ability to refine 
proposals by continuing the AI chat. Additionally, users can define 
their own favorite prompts or custom AI actions and share them with 
project members.

Oxygen AI Positron Assistant offers AI support to help resolve document 
validation problems with an innovative variant of a quick-fix called AI 
Positron Fix that asks the AI engine to find a solution for a validation 
problem and applies its suggestion.

The AI functionality can be accessed through two XPath AI functions that 
enable the use of AI from any language that uses XPath expressions, 
including XSLT, XQuery, and Schematron. For example, it is possible to 
create XSLT-based XML refactoring actions to batch-process multiple 
documents, applying AI functionality on them, or to define Schematron 
Quick-Fixes that utilize these XPath AI functions.

Users benefit from a set of fine-tuned predefined AI actions that help 
with generating content, improving the language for existing content, 
getting various insights, translating to various languages, and writing 
better marketing messages.

Oxygen XML Editor 26

The XML diff can now generate comparison results as documents containing 
change tracking highlights to allow the changes to be rendered visually 
in the resulting documents. This feature is also available via scripts 
to enable automation.

There is also new functionality available for DITA users, XSLT/XQuery 
developers, as well as for JSON/YAML developers.

Some of our popular add-ons were updated such as Git Client, Batch 
Documents Converter, and OpenAPI Documentation Generator.

As always, this release also provides various important component 
updates, such as DITA-OT and Saxon, bug fixes, and security enhancements.
