via [xsl] [ANN] oXygen XSLT Editor/Debugger/Profiler 6.1

Wow... After almost a week I decided I better check my other Gmail account. I can't believe how much I've missed. Why I have missed it will all make much more sense soon. But until then I thought I better post the <oXygen /> 6.1 announcement from George from Two days ago! Sorry about that George!!!

Anyway, via XML-Dev and XSL-List George Cristian Bina announced the release of version 6.1 of the XML Editor. The announcement from XSL-List (near identical to XML-Dev) is in the extended portion of this post:

Hi everybody,

I am glad to announce that a new release of XML Editor, Schema
Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger/Profiler, version 6.1 is available from
http://www.oxygenxml.com

The new XSLT directly related features are:
* XSLT Profiler - available from the XSLT Debugger perspective allows to
collect profiling information with any of the XSLT processor supported
in the XSLT Debugger (Saxon 8.4 for XSLT 2.0 and Saxon 6.5.4 for XSLT
1.0 from Saxonica (http://www.saxonica.com) and Xalan 2.5.1 for XSLT 1.0
from ASF (http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/). The profiler shows both an
invocation tree and a hotspots view that allows to quickly identify and
locate performance problems in your stylesheets.
* Automatic detection of XSLT parameters - when you configure a
transformation scenario the available parameters are automatically
extracted and presented. To add a parameter just select it and specify a
value.
* support for the latest Saxon 6.5.4. If you want to get back to Saxon
6.5.3 just replace the saxon.jar from oXygen libraries folder.

Other important features added in version 6.1 are:
* Easy navigation in the XML Schema and Relax NG editors allowing to
follow a component reference to its definition.
* In place editing on schema diagrams for both XML Schema and Relax NG
editors.
* Enhanced XML Schema documentation to easily generate documentation
from complex schemas, see for instance the documentation generated for
the XML Schema for XSLT 2.0:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/schemaDoc/xsltAndXsd/XSL2.0Schema.xsd.html
* Relax NG annotation support - the Relax NG annotations are presented
when the user edits instance documents against a Relax NG schema.
* Attributes editor that hows both the entered and possible attributes
in a table view.
and more.
The full list of new features and detailed description is available at
http://www.oxygenxml.com/index.html#new-version

Best Regards,
George
