ANN: WebDAV and Python-enabled Syntext Serna XML Editor V2.3 RC1

Syntext is glad to announce the availability of Syntext Serna V2.3
Release Candidate that brings a number of new advanced features:

- WebDAV support
   Serna now may open and save files, access images and other resources
   over WebDAV.

- Text XInclude support (aka parse="text")
   It is now possible to XInclude text files into the XML document.

- Basic forms support
   Serna introduces XSL FO extensions that allow using edit-boxes and
   combo-boxes in the document view. The functionality also allows
   "in-place" attribute editing.

- Preview Python API
   It is now possible to write Serna plugins in Python. See
   Using Serna API in Help for examples.

- Reorganized XML meta-data*
   The XML meta-data for a specific document type (e.g. DTD, schemas,
   templates, etc) can be placed to a single directory. Serna
   also can work with packages located outside of Serna installation.

- Additional XML catalog specification
   It is possible to specify additional XML catalog in document
   template. The catalog will take effect only for the documents of this
   template.

Once Syntext Serna Enterprise is released WebDAV and Python API will
be available only in the Enterprise edition.

The users who purchase Serna Professional before the official
availability of Serna Enterprise will be able to use WebDAV and Python
API later on in version 2.X .
