• Importing XQuery Modules — A new user interface helps you manage XQuery module imports in your XQuery code.
• Visual Support for Updating Relational Data Sources — SQL insert, update, and delete operations can now be created using drag-and-drop in XQuery Mapper.
• Register Custom URI Resolvers — A new user interface lets you register Collection, Module, and Document URI resolvers.
• Support for XQJ 1.0 — The XQuery module now supports the XQuery API for Java (XQJ) Version 1.0.
• New Navigational Features — Go To, Find All References, and Rename short-cut menu items simplify working with XQuery Code.

XML Converters Enhancements — The XML Converters have numerous enhancements in Stylus Studio 2010:
