===========================
V2.6 Patch 1 (June 18, 2004)
Enhancements: (see technical details below)
-------------------------------------------
* The caret is now displayed as a little red
triangle when the text node containing its is
not rendered on screen (its ancestor is
collapsed or the text node has no view at
all). The basic idea here is not never ``loose
the caret''.
This enhancement is also specially useful for
authors who prefer to use the styled view and
the tree view side by side. With this
enhancement, it is now possible to hide the
details of the text nodes in the tree view
(Options|Show Text Characters in the Tree
View) and still know where is the caret.
* User Request: it is now possible to remove an
attribute directly from the attribute table
(i.e. the upper side of the Attribute tool) :
simply right-click on the attribute row and
use the displayed popup menu.
Previously the only way to remove an attribute
was to use the ``minus'' button of the
attribute form (i.e. the lower side of the
Attribute tool).
* The Attribute tool has now special support for
hexBinary and base64Binary types.
* The special file chooser dialog box displayed
to let the user browse FTP or WebDAV
directories can now also be used to delete
files and directories on FTP and WebDAV
servers.
In order to do that, right-click on the name
of the file or directory to be deleted and use
the Delete item of the displayed popup menu.
* Improved the usability of File|Save Copy.
* The node path bar now displays
processing-instructions as
"#processing-instruction(target)".
* Improved the XXE configuration used to edit
W3C XML Schemas. It is now possible to
document W3C XML Schemas in XHTML.
For example, the tool bar created by this XXE
configuration has a ``book icon'' which
inserts a xs:annotation/xs:documentation
containing a html:body inside explicitly
selected schema component.
Demo file
XXE_install_dir/demo/bugreport/bugreport.xsd
can be opened in XXE to give this new feature
a try.
Bug fixes:
----------
* Use of non-managed entities such as
<!ENTITY foo "<b>Foo</b>">, that is an
internal entity containing a single element,
caused XXE to throw a
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. This exception
prevented XXE from opening files that XXE V2.5
was able to open.
* Fully qualified names used in XPath
expressions of macro-commands were not
properly parsed, when these macro-commands
were defined in files included from a ``main''
XXE configuration file.
Example:
--------------------------------------------------------
<sequence>
<match context="$selected" pattern="html:li" />
<command name="insertNode" parameter="sameElementAfter"/>
</sequence>
--------------------------------------------------------
is used in a macro-command defined in file
macros.incl, included by xhtml.xxe.
In such case, "html:li" is parsed as
"{}html:li" and not as
"{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}li";. Such macro
cannot work because li elements are never
matched.
This bug did not occur when such
macro-commands were directly defined in a
``main'' XXE configuration file.
* It was not possible to insert a newline
character in DocBook programlisting or
literallayout when these elements had a para
as their parent element. (Instead these
elements were split in two parts.)
* Mac: ``right-clicking'' with a single-button
mouse (that is, Ctrl-Click) on an image didn't
display the resource dialog box allowing to
choose an image.
* XML schema: an element with a content model
having an attribute wildcard could get
attribute default values from this wildcard.
* XML Schema: ``placeholder groups'' such as:
--------------------------------------------------------
<xs:group name="Misc.extra">
<xs:choice/>
</xs:group>
--------------------------------------------------------
caused our W3C XML Schema validation engine to
throw a NullPointerException.
* XML Schema: identity constraints found in
element declarations themselves contained in
groups, like for example,
--------------------------------------------------------
<xs:group name="general">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="general" type="general">
<xs:unique name="generalUnique">
<xs:selector xpath="*"/>
<xs:field xpath="@uniqueElementName"/>
</xs:unique>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:group>
--------------------------------------------------------
caused the W3C XML Schema validation engine to
report false errors (the error message was: an
identity-constraint with the same name "XXX"
has already been defined).
Technical details about the enhancements (for
local gurus):
---------------------------------------------
* User request: it is now possible to use XML
catalogs to resolve URLs found in the
following places:
+ Schema locations in xsi:schemaLocation
and in xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation.
+ Schema locations in xs:include,
xs:redefine, xs:import.
+ Document locations in xi:include.
+ Document locations passed to the
document() XPath function.
+ CSS style sheet locations in @import.
+ XXE configuration files in
<include location="XXX"/>.
+ XSLT style sheets in the transform child
element of a process command.
+ Resources in the copyProcessResource
child element of a process command.
+ XSLT style sheets included or imported by
other XSLT style sheets (that is, the XML
catalogs used by XXE are passed to
Saxon, the XSLT engine bundled with
XXE).
Previously XML catalogs were only used to
resolve the locations of the DTD and other
external entities.
* The following rule has been added to the XML
catalog bundled with XXE,
XXE_install_dir/config/catalog.xml:
--------------------------------------------------------
<rewriteURI uriStartString="xxe-config:"
rewritePrefix="."/>
--------------------------------------------------------
This means that any URI which starts with
xxe-config: is understood as being relative to
XXE_install_dir/config/.
For example, this feature can be used to
customize the DocBook CSS style sheet bundled
with XXE:
--------------------------------------------------------
@import url(xxe-config:docbook/css/docbook.css);
.
.
my customization here
.
--------------------------------------------------------
* Changed details in the CSS implementation to
follow W3C document Errata in
REC-CSS2-19980512.
+ The underscore character '_' is now
allowed in identifiers. It is no longer
needed to quote this character like in
"element\_name".
* It is now possible to interleave @namespace
and @import at the beginning of a CSS style
sheet.
* User Request: added attribute showProgress to
process commands. Setting this attribute to
value false suppresses the dialog box normally
displayed during the execution of a process
command to show the user what is happening.
* Upgraded XMLmind FO Converter, used to
convert XSL-FO to RTF, to version 1.3.
* Upgraded Enterprise Distributed
Technologies FTP client library to version
1.3.2.
* Upgraded the XML catalog resolver used by XXE
to Apache XML Commons Resolver version 1.1.
* XML Schema: the W3C XML Schema validation
engine now supports xs:import elements without
a schemaLocation attribute, if an xs:import
element for the same namespace but this time
having a schemaLocation attribute has
previously been processed.
Example:
--------------------------------------------------------
<xs:import namespace="foo"
schemaLocation="http://foo.com/schema1.xsd"; />
<!-- Later, typically inside an included module. -->
<xs:import namespace="foo" />
--------------------------------------------------------
Note that the other example below will not
work because the W3C XML Schema validation
engine cannot guess which of schema1.xsd or
schema2.xsd needs to be imported.
--------------------------------------------------------
<xs:import namespace="foo"
schemaLocation="http://foo.com/schema1.xsd"; />
<!-- Later, typically inside an included module. -->
<xs:import namespace="foo"
schemaLocation="http://foo.com/schema2.xsd"; />
<!-- Later, typically inside another included module. -->
<xs:import namespace="foo" />
--------------------------------------------------------
* XML Schema: upgraded the Schema for Schemas to
the version included in "XML Schema Part 1:
Structures Second Edition - W3C Proposed
Edited Recommendation 18 March 2004".
This version of the Schema for Schemas allows
to add attributes with non-schema namespaces
to annotate most schema components.
Slightly edited this normative schema to allow
spaces before and after path alternatives in
the xpath attributes of elements selector and
field. Example:
--------------------------------------------------------
<xs:key name="truck1" >
<xs:selector xpath="truck" />
<xs:field xpath="@number | @plate" />
</xs:key>
--------------------------------------------------------
* Standard Edition now supports
"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; as the target
namespace of W3C XML Schemas, in addition to
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";,
"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"; and any
namespace with an URI starting with
"http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/";.
* The modular W3C XML Schema for XHTML included
in "Modularization of XHTML(TM) 1.0 -
Second Edition - W3C Working Draft 18 February
2004" is now available in
XXE_install_dir/config/common/xsd/xhtml11/.
This schema is used to document W3C XML
Schemas in XHTML and also for the bugreport
demo.
Possible incompatibilities:
---------------------------
* Use of XXE configuration element
<cfg:include location="XXX" system="true"/> is
deprecated.
Example:
--------------------------------------------------------
<cfg:include location="docbook/docbook.xxe"
system="true"/>
--------------------------------------------------------
must be replaced by:
--------------------------------------------------------
<cfg:include location="xxe-config:docbook/docbook.xxe"/>
--------------------------------------------------------
