Liquid XML Studio 2009 extends and improves on the existing functionality by introducing other new tools and technologies that our users have requested in order to continue to make Liquid XML Studio the best value XML development environment available.

Service Pack 1 is a substantial product update with major new functionality along with enhancements and fixes to current functionality.

Graphical XML Editor (SP1)

Extends the existing XML document editor by providing a tree and tabular grid data entry for XML documents within a split view alongside the existing text based XML editor.

Source Control Integration (SP1)

Allows project files to be bound to source control, providing common tasks such as Check-out, Check-in and Get latest version all from context menus in the project tree. Supports Microsoft SCC API supported source control systems and ToroiseSVN command line integration.

Additional XML Data Binding Runtimes (SP1)

Provides XML Data Binding Runtimes for .Net 2.0 & 3.5 Compact Framework.

General Improvements (SP1)

• Added Clone Method to C++ Runtimes
• Fixed Linux Thread locking Issues
• Fixed IBindingList .Net 2.0, .Net 3.5 and Silverlight 2 Runtimes
• Fixed Schema Validation Issues
• Fixed Import Wizard URI Issues
• Fixed Stability Issues

Liquid XML Diff Tool

Liquid XML Diff allows you to easily compare two XML files. This provides a graphical view of the differences between the files and includes advanced filtering options.

Silverlight Code Generation

Liquid XML Data Binder now provides an option to generate code for Microsoft C# Silverlight 2008 for .Net 3.5 and Microsoft VB .Net Silverlight 2008 for .Net 3.5, and includes new Runtimes for these new platforms.

Project Files

Related files can now be added to a Liquid XML Studio Project, allowing easy access and grouping of all the files you are working with. The project is displayed as a tree in the Project Window.

XSLT Support

XML Style Sheet Transforms (XSLT) are now supported and can be run within the editor to generate the XSLT output file from a specified source data.

Supported File Types

The editor has been extended to support additional file types. The full list of supported file types is:

• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
• DTD Schema (DTD)
• Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML)
• Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML)
• Text Files (TXT)
• W3C XML Schema (XSD)
• Web Service Definition Language (WSDL)
• XML Document (XML)
• XML Metadata Interchange (XMI)
• XML-Data Reduced (XDR)
• XQuery (XQUERY)
• XSL Transform (XSLT)

Enhanced Printing and Print Preview Support

Printing and previewing XML Schema diagrams has been completely re-written to allow scaling of the diagram to a percentage height/width or to a fixed number of pages high and wide. This significantly improves the ability to view large schema in a printed form.

Improved Large File Support

Large files can now be edited within the XML text editor.

Fast Infoset Import/Export Support

Fast Infoset (FI) is a standard XML compression technology allowing XML files to be compressed to a binary form. This technology provides huge performance improvements as the FI files can be read and written very quickly by FI enabled parsers (such as the Liquid Fast Infoset Library). You can now import and export XML files in FI format directly from the Liquid XML Studio development environment.

JSON Import/Export Support

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight data-interchange format. You can now import and export JSON files as XML documents allowing you to easily change the JSON data as XML in the XML editor.

General Improvements

Along with the new features outlined above, existing features have also been enhanced and improved such as the Find/Replace functionality.
