BXE Status Update
*****************

As a little teaser, here's a uncomplete and short list of what will be
new in the next Bitflux Editor release. We will work hard in the next
few days to actually have a preview release next week. Hope you still
can wait until then...

* Based on Mozile/eDOM (http://mozile.mozdev.org)
* On-The-Fly Relax-NG Validation
* Extensible and exchangable widget system
* To a great extent event based - adding of own event handlers
* Full support for XML Namespaces
* Native XHTML support
* No need for CSS styles, if in XHTML namespace
* "XSLT-less" mode. No need to write XSLTs, if you don't need it.
* More XSLT Support
* Copy/Paste into and out of Mozilla
* Tag and Source-Edit Mode directly in the context
* Cleaned up GUI
* WebDAV Support

Hi Chregu

that sounds very promising in deed.

* Cleaned up GUI

Jann and I had a meeting yesterday with Matthias Jud from Saibo. The
speech came to the GUI subject of BXE. What's the status there? As far
as I know, Saibo volonteered to participate in GUI testing and
improving, and so would I. But maybe that's not necessary any more?

Thanks for your work and Aloha

hehe. Depends on your Point of View. I just took the old UI and
improved the worst parts. Therefore there is still room for more
improvements.

But what I did is implementing a widget system, which should it make
much easier to implement a new UI or a new Look&Feel.
