To: xml-dev@ic.ac.uk

The final (I hope) alpha release (0.3.1) of XED is now available for evaluation:

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

There are lots of new features, and some changes to the UI, so I hope those of you who have made helpful comments and tried things out will take the time to re-download this version. Changes since the last announcement include:

Changes from v0.2.1.4 as released:

Features:

Menubar instead of buttons, with operations grouped in pull-downs under 'File', 'Edit', 'Options' (all Alt/Meta key-bindings still work)
Preferences settings control key-binding mode, attr quotes, autofill, autoeol, autoindent, autosave
Font size menu
'Insert File' command added
Can flush tag memory for a clean start on demand
Autosaving support
C-/ toggles an empty element between <a></a> and <a/> versions.
Cut and Paste under WIN32 use clipboard for import/export
Better support for large element type inventories: consistent accelerators based on shortest unique prefix, mixed case handled properly
Accelerators for built-in menu entries changed to non-alphameric to avoid clashing with user-defined tags/attrs/entities
Double-click selects word/enclosing element/...
C-space sets anchor in Unix key-binding mode
Cross-modal pasting now allowed (e.g., from attr to content and vice versa)
Renaming supported for PIs, unwrapping/wrapping for PIs, CDATA sections and comments
Undo possible after save
C-g clears selection in Unix key-binding mode
File dirty is indicated by File* in menubar under WIN32, italic 'File' under UNIX

[Description of XED from an earlier post by the author:

"I'm please to announce the availability of the alpha release of XED, a WYSIWYG XML instance editor. XED uses the LT XML toolset integrated with a Python-Tk user interface, to provide a free, cross-platform, well-formedness preserving editor for XML document instances."]
