Hi everyone,

We are excited to announce that Oxygen XML Editor and Developer version 28.1 is now available!

Here are some new features which may be useful for the XSLT community:

\xA0* XProc Enhancements: For XProc 3.0 developers, this release brings enhanced Saxon XInclude support, improved options parsing, and integrated HTML5 validation, streamlining the development and execution of XProc pipelines.

\xA0* Git Client Add-on: Version 5.6.0 of the Git Client add-on was released and supports multiple worktrees, as well as introducing a new "Explain commit" AI action (requires Oxygen AI Positron) to explain the changes from selected commits.

\xA0* File Comparison Upgrades: Version 28.1 provides customizable comment callout width and the ability to include timestamps and user information in comparison reports, improving the review and collaboration experience.

\xA0* Planner chat mode: The latest version for the Oxygen AI Positron add-on introduces the Planner chat mode. This innovative feature allows the AI to explore projects, propose multi-step plans, and delegate tasks to specialized AI agents, while providing full transparency through reviewable tool calls and results. You can now confidently execute operations like translating entire folder structures or performing bulk content migrations, knowing the AI will coordinate every step intelligently.

\xA0* Sensitive data masking: To protect user privacy when working with AI services, personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers, and API keys) is automatically identified and masked before being sent to AI services, with the ability to extend protection through custom patterns for industry-specific data types. Masked information is seamlessly restored in AI responses, ensuring accuracy while maintaining security.

\xA0* Enhanced AI experience: Oxygen AI Positron now displays all AI-created or modified files directly in the chat area, enabling you to review, accept, or discard changes without interrupting your workflow. You can also selectively accept portions of proposed changes, providing granular control over AI-generated content. Additional developer and power user enhancements include the ability to create custom chat modes and delegate tasks to specialized AI agents, a tools selector to fine-tune AI capabilities by enabling or disabling specific tools, command-line tool integration to execute system commands directly from AI chat (with user approval), Vision support to include images in AI analysis when relevant, and updates to the Model Context Protocol with the latest SDK version 0.16.0 for enhanced extensibility.

\xA0* Built-in S1000D Support for Aerospace and Defense: S1000D users will benefit from support for S1000D issue 4.x content, including schema-guided editing with validation and content completion, visual authoring with multiple display modes, BREX (Business Rules Exchange) module editing and Schematron conversion, Smart Paste functionality preserving structure from web browsers and Word documents, and ready-to-use templates for data modules and publication modules (issues 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2).

\xA0* Oxygen AI Translator Add-on: This new add-on brings enterprise-grade translation capabilities to XLIFF workflows. Key features include intelligent quality control with automatic validation, structural error detection, and retry mechanisms through alternative models, translation memory integration supporting TMX 1.4b for consistent reuse of approved content, custom instruction support for terminology, style guidelines, and contextual requirements, a smart caching system that reduces costs and improves performance for repeated translations, and real-time progress tracking with job persistence across system restarts.

\xA0* Component Updates: This release also provides various important component updates, including OpenJDK 21.0.10, DITA-OT 4.4, XML Calabash 3.0.38, and Eclipse 4.38/4.39 support, along with bug fixes and security enhancements.
