Syncro Soft is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 27.1 of its industry-leading XML suite of products: Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, JSON Editor, Web Author, Publishing Engine, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and Scripting.
This release introduces further enhancements to its AI-driven technology through the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant and AI integration in XProc, offers a refined JSON editing experience, incorporates DITA-OT 4.3 for robust publishing workflows, and delivers performance and security enhancements across all products.
Notable improvements include:

New callback functions facilitate dynamic workflows, while attach-from-computer features allow users to provide local file content to AI prompts.
- XSLT/XProc/JSON Updates: Support for custom parsers in XSLT, the ability to run AI-enabled XSLT stylesheets within the XProc Calabash engine alongside XProc version 3.1 schema support, and automatic insertion of required content in JSON documents (Author mode) speed up development cycles.
- Git Integration: The Git Client add-on now supports cherry-picking, merging, signed commits, and improved branch management, making collaborative version control more efficient.
- DITA-OT 4.3 Integration: The latest toolkit includes contributions from two Oxygen XML developers, updates the DITA 2.0 and Lightweight DITA support, and allows embedding DITA elements in Markdown.
- Differences view: Oxygen XML Web Author users can quickly identify and understand changes in review comments with improved clarity and ease.
- Performance and Security: Parallel file formatting accelerates batch indentation, while new security measures and updated libraries offer increased reliability.
