1.1.0 M1 (2013-01-29)

• Vex now has full support for XML comments at every possible position they can have in a document. (bug 257806)

• A major cleanup of the DOM has been done. This was the main step to get a public API for the DOM. The new structure of the DOM is described in detail in our new Architecture Guide.
• The user manual got a little face lift and a first video tutorial has been created.
• Some minor bugs were fixed (see the full list)

1.0.0 M9 (2012-05-29)

• Vex supports editing of XML comments within the root element (full support for comments still to be done). bug 257806

• The indentation and line breaking rules can be configured in the preferences dialog. bug 367925

• Some small bugs were fixed.

1.0.0 M8 (2012-01-04)

• Vex now uses the new namespace org.eclipse.vex. Unfortunately this will break all existing Vex plug-in projects which reference org.eclipse.wst.xml.vex. Those can be fixed with a simple search and replace of the namespace in the vex-plugin.xml file. You also have to fix the namespace of the Vex project nature in the .project file.
• XML Schema is now supported to define the structure of documents. bug 250838
• The namespace declarations can be edited for each element in a document. Go to Document > Edit Namespaces...

• A new plug-in (org.eclipse.vex.projectplan) provides a configuration for the Eclipse project plan schema, which is our reference for document types that use multiple schemas. bug 366469

• The sort order in the insert element popup was tweaked: the elements which start with the given search term now appear before the elements which only contain the search term. bug 362475
