Publication Manager content refresh message can now be dismissed
The blocking modal dialog in Publication Manager stating The object 'some-title' has been changed by another application, and the new content has been loaded. can happen frequently and requires a lot of extra clicking. By adding an optional checkbox Don't show this dialog again for this session on that dialog you can chose to no longer see this information dialog appear for the duration of your application session.

- For images and topics, it typically comes down to a refresh of the preview window.
- For maps, it can be the preview window, but it can also force a refresh on the tree (TOC). As this could be a small or really big refresh operation (e.g. removing or adding many links), this might take a while.
Syncro Soft <oXygen/> XML Author
For regular sized DITA Maps, we originally did a preprocessing step to make sure the required information is retrieved from the CMS in batch. Pushing data sizes up to a map holding up to 2500 <topicrefs> means that the blocking preprocessing step takes up quite a lot of time thereby blocking several editor actions. The chosen solution was to step-away from the synchronous preprocessing step. Mixing in client-server distance/network-latency and map size (>2000 <topicrefs>); the blocking preprocessing was perceived as a unwanted experience. The chosen solution was to step-away from the synchronous preprocessing step. When opening the large map in the Map Editor view, the UI should not freeze/wait until all the topics referenced in the map are downloaded. Only the referenced topics visible in the Map Editor view should be downloaded. When scrolling down in the Map Editor view, the next batch of referenced topics should be downloaded. [TS-11315]
JustSystems XMetaL 11
Introducing JustSystem XMetaL 11 support. The first XMetaL version with full Windows 10 operating system support. Note that we only support the 32-bit edition, and require patch version 11.0.0.083 or later.
We support their significantly improved new Map Editor which has multi-level undo, and is integrated with Attribute Inspector.
Verified Acrolinx on top of AuthoringBridge for JustSystems XMetaL 11
Verified that the JustSystems XMetaL 11 integration Content Manager Authoring Bridge works together with Acrolinx. The XMetaL server-side files are enriched with statements needed by Acrolinx in the DTD-related macro files for XMetaL 11. These files are synchronized from the server. If Acrolinx is not installed on the client, these statements will just be ignored by XMetaL. We used the Acrolinx Plug-in for XMetaL 4.7.0 build 5 (client_XMetaLV4.7_B5.32_bit.msi) to verify the behavior. [TS-11376|TS-11356]
