To:         xml-dev@ic.ac.uk
Subject:    XED 0.5 released

I'm pleased to announce a major upgrade release of XED, my XML-aware text editor. The major changes since the last release are DTD processing for seeding the element and attribute menus and a reasonable set of help files. See:

    http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~ht/xed.html.

for details and download information.

From the CHANGES file:

Change log through v0.5 as released

Changes from v0.4.1.2 as released:

Features:

  • Tries to install XED as editor for XML and XSL files
  • Will read DTDs, can specify DTD for DOCTYPE of New documents, uses DTD to initialise element and attribute menus
  • Can save preferences (including font-size and Run command) (see Options/Preferences)
  • Large deletions, and undoing thereof, much improved
  • Fast recovery from replacing large files
  • Reasonable start on HELP files (WIN32: .HLP; UN*X: .html)

Bug fixes:

  • Lots of small ones
  • Copies of empty elements no longer confused with originals
  • Plugged some more holes wrt creating ill-formed comments, CDATA sections, PIs
  • Major rework of attribute and tag menu construction, enabling much larger DTDs to be handled, e.g., docbookx
