Altova® (),recently announced several new, unique enhancements have been added to XMLSpy® Version 2011 Release 2 (v2011r2). XMLSpy is the industry leading XML editor and part of the Altova MissionKit®, an integrated suite of XML, database, and UML tools. With the release of Version 2011r2, XMLSpy expands its cutting edge chart and report creation capabilities introduced in Version 2011 with even more functionality for visualizing XML data. XMLSpy v2011r2 also delivers additional resources for working with XML Schemas, functionality for embedding external files in XML, support for customizable documentation generation, and much more.

“With each release of our software we aim to provide our users the most advanced functionality to make working with XML as easy as possible. The latest release of XMLSpy is no different as we’ve added functionality that gives our users even more flexibility when working with their XML data,” said Alexander Falk, President and CEO for Altova. “We also received such an overwhelming response from our users when we added functionality for report and chart creation back in Version 2011 that we wanted to build upon that momentum. So with the release of Version 2011r2 we’ve expanded our report and charting functionality by adding even more chart formats and customizable features to ensure our users have the most cutting edge capabilities available.”

XMLSpy 2011r2 provides numerous important new features that are simply not available in other XML editors, including:

Customizable Documentation Generation – The release of Version 2011r2 extends XMLSpy’s powerful XML Schema, WSDL, and XBRL documentation generation capabilities by enabling users to customize documentation templates using Altova StyleVision. Users can now do anything from simply adding their mpany’s logo and branding to mpletely changing the way the documentation is presented. XMLSpy 2011r2 also ships with several new, ready-made documentation templates that may be used as-is or modified further in StyleVision. 

Enhanced Chart Creation Functionality – XMLSpy 2011r2 adds new, advanced capabilities for creating charts to analyze XML data. Several new formats are supported, including stacked bar, area, stacked area, and candlestick charts. New chart formatting options include support for chart overlays that mbine multiple chart types in one image, background images and lor gradients, nfigurable axis label positions, and more.

Advanced XML Schema Editing Functionality – XML Schema developers will benefit from several new features in XMLSpy 2011r2, such as one-click sorting of schema mponents in the graphical Schema View. This ability to list mponents alphabetically is especially useful when working with large schemas and for quickly understanding schemas created by another developer or team. 

New XML Schema refactoring support helps developers quickly locate all the instances of a global element or type across a schema – and all imported and included schemas – and then rename that mponent in each place it ours. 

Release 2 of XMLSpy 2011 also provides intelligent support for changing element types and base types by preserving any facets that are mpatible with the updated type, making it that much easier to update schemas as they evolve.
