Synchro Soft has released oXygen XML Editor 17.1, which includes updates and improvements to the XML authoring and developing tool.

The performance of many of the integral components has been optimized and numerous features were enhanced and fine-tuned to make oXygen XML Editor even more powerful, dynamic, and easy to use, according to the folks at Synchro Soft. It also features a spectacular new visual design that makes everything look crisp and beautiful, they add.

Various DITA-related operations and dialog boxes have been reorganized and improved to maximize efficiency. Users can now enable experimental editing and publishing support for DITA 1.3, including new file templates, scoped keys, and branch filtering.

Oxygen 17.1 can be freely evaluated for 30 day. To buy it go to the Oxygen XML store (http://www.oxygenxml.com/buy.html).
