Bedford, MANov  11, 2004 — Stylus Studio (http://www.stylusstudio.com), the industry leading provider of innovative XML tools for all XML technologies including XML, XSL, XSLT, XML Schema, Web services, SQL/XML, and XQuery, today announced the release of Stylus Studio 6 Home Edition, the latest update of their value-priced XML IDE for home and student users. The newly released Stylus Studio 6 Home Edition adds a completely new XML Schema Editor and updated support for XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0.

Real Quality XML Tools on a Budget

"Teachers and students have traditionally encountered limited options when shopping for robust entry-level XML IDEs — tools for new users exploring XML and related technologies that let you do real work, too. There are entry-level tools on the market, but a choice between incomplete and unusable product offerings is really no choice at all. Most so-called 'free' tools provide limited functionality — and I’m even aware of one that has a 24-hour time bomb! One day to evaluate a tool? Stylus Studio 6 Home Edition addresses the needs of the academic and non-commercial user community by providing a robust, high-quality, standards-aware XML IDE for a budget-conscious price — just $99 for a complete XML IDE with no costly add-ons. Stylus Studio 6 Home Edition is the clear alternative," said Ivan Pedruzzi, Stylus Studio's Senior Product Architect.
