Developer preview

This release contains experimental features that are available for developers only, because we would appreciate feedback before API becomes stable. Note that the API and expected behavior may change, or the feature may be removed altogether. They should not be used in a production environment, before they're released as stable feature.

• Added preview support for configurable placeholders using <nodeConfig>.
• Added preview support for localization of schema types outside the schema files using <nodeConfig>.
• Added preview support for setting roles using <nodeConfig>.

Known issues

• Xopus 4 doesn't start in Internet Explorer 6 when only MSXML 5 is installed due to a Can't switch encoding error.
• In Firefox, showhtmlcontent="true" only shows the content before the <xml> element.
• Settings in <nodeConfig> will override settings in <xs:annotation>.
