機能

AI Positron Assistant

  • Preview All AI-Proposed Changes to Files - You now have the ability to preview all the changes in the documents that the AI proposes to create or update while processing particular actions (e.g. Split Topic or Create Topics). You are no longer required to confirm that you want to overwrite files. Instead, you can preview the proposed changes in all files and choose how to proceed in each instance. This helps to ensure control over AI-proposed modifications.
  • Notification for Unchanged Content - When an AI action processes content but does not result in any changes, you are now informed, eliminating the need for unnecessary previews or visual inspection. This improvement saves time and ensures a smoother workflow.
  • Fix Validation Problems - The Intelligent Agents category now includes a new Fix Validation Problems action. This action validates the current document and suggests fixes for all identified issues, streamlining both the validation process and the resolution of validation problems, ensuring high-quality content.
  • AI-based MathML Generation - The new Formula/Equation action (located in the Content Generation category) leverages AI to generate MathML formulas based on your descriptions. This feature simplifies the creation of complex mathematical representations and enhances technical documentation workflows.
  • AI-based Code Annotations - The new Annotate Code AI action (located in the Development category) can be used to generate XML comments within the code found in the current selection, at the cursor location, or in the whole document. The generated annotations explain key concepts of the code. This action is available for XSLT, Schematron, and XSD documents.
  • Resolve Comments from Contextual Menu - Invoking the Resolve Comments AI action is now much more efficient as it now appears directly in the contextual menu when you right-click a comment callout box in the editor or in the Review view. The action changes the selected content based on the suggestions within comments and then removes the comments.
  • New AI Callback Functions to Enable Dynamic Workflows - The plugin now includes several new AI callback functions, which are specialized mechanisms enabling the AI to dynamically invoke external processing and use the results in generating its response. These new functions can be used to invoke another AI action, to find all the available AI actions, and to validate a document, thus empowering users to create complex, dynamic workflows as part of a custom AI action.
    • invoke_ai_action - This callback function invokes an AI action that enables the delegation of processing to other AI actions, thus you can use a divide-et-impera approach to simplify and optimize the AI action processing.
    • retrieve_all_ai_actions - Instead of specifying a predefined set of AI actions that can be invoked, you can use this callback function that returns all the defined actions. This allows the AI to discover all the available AI actions and invoke them dynamically as needed.
    • validate_document_content - When processing or generating content, an AI action can now use this callback function that validates a document, ensuring that the generated content is valid. In case of errors, it offers the opportunity to automatically correct the detected problems.
  • Invoke Positron Actions from XPath - A new XPath function (ai:invoke-action) has been introduced, enabling you to seamlessly invoke an AI Positron action from any XPath context (such as XSLT, XQuery, Schematron, etc.) by providing the action ID, contextual text, and the content to be processed.
  • Multi-agent Architecture for Create Topics - The Create Topics action has been restructured using a multi-agent architecture and now leverages the invoke_ai_action() function. These improvements ensure better adherence to system instructions and more consistent execution.
  • Export and Import Chat Sessions - It is now possible to export a conversation with the AI to a JSON file using the new Export Chat action that appears in the Actions menu. You can also import a conversation from a JSON file using the new Import Chat action. This feature is especially helpful for debugging purposes or to resume an exported conversation with the AI. For example, an exported conversation could be sent to the developer of a custom action to help them investigate issues that were encountered and then you could import the previous conversation once you are ready to resume.
  • Disable/Enable All AI Features for a Specific Project - An option has been added in the Preferences page for you to disable (or enable) all the AI features at project level (or globally for all projects). This allows you to control which projects have AI features available.
  • Updated Default Model - For the SaaS distribution and for the OpenAI connector in the Enterprise distribution, the default AI model has been updated to gpt-4o-2024-11-20, the latest gpt-4o snapshot from OpenAI.

XSLT/XQuery

  • Specify a Custom Parser in XSLT Transformations - Oxygen now supports configuring a custom parser when transforming documents using XSLT. This offers greater flexibility and control for specialized document types. For example, you can configure a parser for HTML documents in the saxon-config.xml file passed to Saxon EE/PE/HE, enabling more accurate transformations.

XProc

  • Run AI-Enabled XSLT Stylesheets from XProc - The XProc Calabash engine in Oxygen now supports running XSLT stylesheets that contain AI functions contributed by the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant.
  • Improved XProc Error Messaging - All error messages reported by Saxon during XProc transformations are now presented to help with troubleshooting efforts by providing detailed error messages that include the location and the cause of the error.
  • XProc Version 3.1 Schemas - XProc 3.1 schemas have been added to offer support for content completion and validation in XProc 3.1 files.
  • Specify XProc Version in New Document Wizard - When creating an XProc script from the new document wizard, you now have the option to customize the template and specify the version (1.0, 3.0, or 3.1) for the new XProc document.

Quick Fixes

  • More Ways to Access Quick Fix Proposals - Quick fix suggestions for validation issues are also now available in the contextual menu of the status bar at the bottom of the editor where the description of the current validation issue is displayed, providing even more convenient ways to quickly solve validation issues while editing XML documents.

Add-ons

  • Git Client Improvements - Various improvements have been made to the Git Client add-on:
    • The new Cherry-pick action (available in the Git History view) applies the changes from the selected commit to the current branch.
    • The Merge action is now available in the Git History view. You can use this action to merge an entire branch, or to integrate all changes from a selected commit and any of its ancestors that are not already in the current branch.
    • The Git History side-view can now be linked to the active editor using the Link with Editor option. Selecting an editor for a file within the same repository will automatically display that file's history.
    • It is now possible to sign commits using SSH keys.
    • For Git resources, the contextual menu in the DITA Maps Manager now includes a Git submenu with two actions. The Show history action displays the history of the selected resource within the DITA Maps Manager. The Show blame action reveals who made the last modification on each line of a file and in which commit.
    • Actions to create a repository in the project folder have been added in the contextual menu of the Project side-view and the Git main menu.
    • The JGit component has been updated to version 7.1.0.
    • Other minor improvements and various bug fixes have been implemented.

Miscellaneous

  • Speed Improvement for Format and Indent Files - The Format and Indent Files action is now done in parallel, decreasing the time it takes to format and indent lots of files at once.

  • The Eclipse plugin has been updated to fully support Eclipse version 4.35.
  • Updated the EPUBCheck tool used to validate EPUB resources to version 5.2.1.
  • Updated the JSON-Java (org.json) package to version 20250107.
