Morphon XML Editor 1.1

A new version of this Java-based, validating XML editor has been released. Two downloadable installers for Macintosh are available for free 30-day trial use. One is for Macs which have a Java runtime environment installed, and the other includes such an environment. According an installation page, the editor also requires MRJ 2.1 or higher, Sun's Swing 1.1.1, and the MRJ SDK (all are downloadable).

The online manual lists new features in version 1.1 as including "CSS Support for Attr() content"; "Improved performance for document loading and faster editing"; "Some xml properties [such as whitespace policy settings] are stored per document"; "The Enter and Backspace keys have some intelligent behaviour"; "Fixes problems with loading and registering plugins"; and "The process of loading and creation of a document can be canceled." Morphon's change log has a complete list. (6 March 2001)
