Download SpiderMonkey 2.17.0

Version 2.16.0 released 23 January 2015

Introduced support for the Extensible Enumerations specification. Both the Proposed Recommendation (26 March 2014) and Recommendation (29 October 2014) are supported. The Extensible Enumeration schemas are now built in to SpiderMonkey, so the use of taxonomy packages containing them is unnecessary. The validation is enabled by default, but can be disabled in the preferences.
Updated the bundled taxonomies to include draft US GAAP 2015 and SEC 2015 taxonomies. At the time of writing, these taxonomies are not yet accepted by the SEC.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.16.0

Version 2.15.0 released 28 November 2014

Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.15.0 (XII Formula licence only). This provides performance improvements resulting in savings of approximately 10% of heap used by the XII Formula processor for large instances, and up to 20% of time spent processing XII Formula for large instances where heap space is a limiting factor.
Updated Table Linkbase Processor to version 1.7.0 (Table Linkbase licence only). This provides performance improvements resulting in a time saving of up to 50% when opening Table Linkbase tables once the instance has loaded.
Pool more content when loading documents, resulting in a saving of up to 8% of heap size.
Reverted to the SpiderMonkey 2.12.0 handling of dimensional tables. The main tables in the Instance Contents view are no longer split by their facts’ reported dimensions. The smaller tables are available as children of the main tables and can be useful when the main table is large or sparse. Only the main tables are used when grouping facts in Reports. Tables previously labelled “no breakdown” are now labelled “No Dimensions”.
When exporting instance tables to HTML or Excel, all facts for a table can now be exported in one operation using “Export Entire Table”. The table is repeated as necessary to show the values for fixed dimensions and the Z-axis of table linkbase tables that are not shown on screen at the time. The “Export as Shown” right-click option exports only the arrangement visible in SpiderMonkey.
Dimensionally invalid cells in grids are given a grey background.
All empty data cells in grids have explanatory tooltips.
The schemas for Extensible Enumerations 1.0 PR and REC are now built into SpiderMonkey.
Fixed bug where, when deselecting a row in a tree or table linked with an editor, the editor would display the deselected row. It now displays the first selected row instead.
In file dialogs, the All Files filter now matches filenames that do not contain dots.

Version 2.14.1 released 9 September 2014

Added version qualifier to com.corefiling.woodstox plugin to prevent errors during upgrade.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.14.1

Version 2.14.0 released 5 September 2014

Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.14.0 (XII Formula licence only).
Updated Table Linkbase Processor to version 1.6.0. This contains performance improvements that reduce the time taken to open instances with table linkbases in SpiderMonkey, resulting in a typical saving of 10-15 seconds for moderately-sized (50-100M) CRD IV and Solvency II instances, with larger savings for larger instances. (Table Linkbase licence only)
SpiderMonkey now caches the Saxon schema model in its workspace the first time an instance that references a particular taxonomy is opened. With both XII Formula and Table Linkbase enabled, this results in a typical saving for Solvency II instances of up to 20 seconds of load time when opening the first instance and up to 40 seconds when opening subsequent instances that use the same taxonomy. Similar savings are seen for CRD IV instances.
Added a “Footnotes” column to the available columns for fact-based reports.
Using Show In > View Source from the context menu of the Fact Inspector when inspecting duplicate facts now places the cursor at the location of the fact selected in the dropdown list.
Taxonomy validation results are now cached in the workspace on a per-taxonomy basis, meaning that the validation is no longer performed anew when subsequent instances are opened that use the same taxonomy.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.14.0

Version 2.13.0 released 28 July 2014

Introduced the ability to generate sample instance documents from an open taxonomy. (Instance Creation and Editing licence only)
Initial support for editing instance documents. Fact values can be edited in the grid and Fact Inspector. (Instance Creation and Editing licence only)
Updated Table Linkbase Processor to version 1.4.0 (Table Linkbase licence only).
Unsaved changes are now indicated with a “*” in the application title.
XII Formula validation is now able to load documents via XPath. This can be disabled using the “Enable XPath document loading” option under Validation > XII Formula in the preferences.
Fixed issue where “Facts with Relationship Tree” reports could include repeated information as they unintentionally took into account the tables in presentation mode which could be split by dimensions used.
Improvements to display of headers in the grid.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.13.0

Version 2.12.2 released 16 June 2014

Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.13.0.
Added support for the 2011-10-24 errata edition of the Generic Labels specification. Previous versions of SpiderMonkey supported the 2009-06-22 version of this specification and would raise xbrl.gnl.xbrlgene:violatedCyclesConstraint error with the 2.1.0 version of the CRD IV taxonomy. Additional validation is also performed and error xbrl.gnl.NoXMLLangAttributeOnGenericLabel is now raised for generic label elements without an xml:lang attribute.
Introduced a new option to configure the behaviour of XII Formula validation when encountering duplicate facts. Duplicate facts are not XBRL invalid but are typically considered to be reporting errors, except in the case where they are string facts differentiated by language. They can lead to extremely poor performance in evaluation and confusing validation results. SpiderMonkey’s default behaviour has changed to only allow processing a formula or assertion involving duplicate facts if they differ in language. The previous behaviour can be restored using the “Duplicate Handling” option under Validation > XII Formula in the preferences.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.12.2

Version 2.12.1 released 20 June 2014

Added US GAAP 2014 and and associated SEC taxonomies and no longer bundle US GAAP 2012.
Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.12.3. This fixes a bug affecting the default “Restricted Navigation” mode whereby XPath expressions referencing custom attributes on facts might evaluate incorrectly. For these attributes the data type was not available, so tests on the attribute value could return the wrong result. Where possible the data type is now correctly applied. In some situations this is not possible and in these cases the RetrictedXPathNavigation error is now raised. The issue has existed since “Restricted Navigation” mode was introduced in Magnify 2.10.0. For Eurofiling taxonomies, this bug caused misinterpretation of preconditions when the optional find:filed attribute was used on find:filingIndicator items, causing formula validation to be bypassed. The issue did not affect “Full” XPath mode.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.12.1

Version 2.12.0 released 13 June 2014

Labels with the role “http://www.eurofiling.info/xbrl/role/rc-code” are now shown in table linkbase tables in an extra row/column. This can be disabled using the new “Display RC Labels” preference on the Table Linkbase preference page.
There are now two Table Linkbase modes: “Table Linkbase” which now shows only tables with Eurofiling filing indicators (including them even if empty) and “Table Linkbase (all tables)” which shows all tables regardless of filing indicators and including any empty tables. If no filing indicators are used in an instance then all non-empty tables are shown in “Table Linkbase” mode.
Facts that are not in any Table Linkbase table are now shown in separate “Items” tables in the Instance Contents view.
Table Linkbase renderings have been improved to use L-shaped cells for roll-up nodes and avoid repeating heading label text.
The generic parent-child arcrole “http://www.xbrl.org/2013/arcrole/parent-child” is now supported for determining the hierarchy of Table Linkbase tables shown in the Instance Contents view. SpiderMonkey continues to use the Eurofiling group-table arcrole if present.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.12.0

Version 2.11.2 released 30 May 2014

Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.12.2. This fixes a bug introduced in 1.9.0 of the XII Formula processor which was first included with SpiderMonkey in version 2.9.0. Too many evaluations were performed when implicit filtering was on and an explicit dimension filter that defined a filter-member network was attached to a variable set using a variable-set-filter relationship. It can manifest as spurious errors when processing recent Full Scope drafts of the Solvency II taxonomy but not the CRD-IV taxonomy. (XII Formula licence only).

Download SpiderMonkey 2.11.2

Version 2.11.1 released 23 May 2014

Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.12.1. This improves performance in “Restricted Navigation” XPath processing mode for instances containing a large number of namespace declarations. In some cases processing time has been reduced by over 75%. For these inputs processing in restricted XPath mode was previously slower than in Full XPath processing mode. Now these, and all other known inputs, are processed faster in restricted XPath mode. (XII Formula licence only).
Updated Table Linkbase Processor to version 1.3.0 (Table Linkbase licence only).

Download SpiderMonkey 2.11.1

Version 2.11.0 released 2 May 2014

SpiderMonkey now ships with Java 8.
Where possible, labels are used when displaying QName fact values.
Improved performance of DTS Files view for taxonomies containing thousands of files.
When opening a Table Linkbase table with a Z-axis and choosing a slice to display, SpiderMonkey now chooses a slice that contains some facts instead of always choosing the first slice.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.11.0

Version 2.10.1 released 26 March 2014

Updated the Table Linkbase processor to version 1.2.0. This release adds support for the 2014-03-18 recommendation of the Table Linkbase 1.0 specification and includes further performance improvements.
Updated default value for XBRL Formula message limits to 1000 overall and 100 per assertion.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.10.1

Version 2.10.0 released 21 March 2014

Introduced new preferences to control the number of XBRL Formula messages returned from validation. The default is now a maximum of 50 XBRL Formula messages overall and 50 from any one assertion.
Introduced preferences for whitelist and blacklist files that can be used to limit the XBRL Formula assertions that are performed.
Introduced the ability to configure the XPath navigation mode used for XBRL Formula validation. The default mode now restricts the XPath navigation that can be performed. This offers performance improvements for some documents.
Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.11.0 (XII Formula licence only).
Updated Table Linkbase processor to version 1.1.0. This release significantly improves the performance of processing large instance documents. (Table Linkbase licence only).
Fix NullPointerException when collapsing multiple tree nodes in certain circumstances.

Download SpiderMonkey 2.10.0

Version 2.9.0 released 21 February 2014

Values of particular facts (configurable with a system property) are now used as friendly names for instances in the Report Results view, and optionally in window title bars.
When a taxonomy organises Table Linkbase tables into a tree using the arcrole http://www.eurofiling.info/xbrl/arcrole/group-table and the standard role, this tree is visible in the Instance Contents view (Table Linkbase licence only).
Significantly improved speed and memory use when opening some very large instances. For some instances, the required heap was reduced by over 40% and opening time was halved.
Reduced the time taken to open some large tables by approximately 90%.
SpiderMonkey is now built on Eclipse 3.8.2.
SpiderMonkey now supports the 2013-11-18 recommendation (REC) of Inline XBRL 1.1. The 2013-05-31 public working draft (PWD) is no longer supported.
Updated XII Formula processor to version 1.9.0 (XII Formula licence only).
Updated Table Linkbase processor to version 1.0.0 (Table Linkbase licence only).
The Group selection component in the Relationships view has been overhauled to work better with taxonomies that use thousands of groups.
Added a menu item to the Fact Inspector which shows or hides defaulted dimensions.
When revealing a fact in a non-Table Linkbase table where one or more dimensions are fixed to members that do not match the fact, SpiderMonkey no longer unfixes those dimensions but instead fixes them to members that match the fact. This matches the behaviour of Table Linkbase tables.
Added preference to enable custom assertion messages in XII Formula validation (XII Formula licence only).
Added the arcrole http://www.xbrl.org/2013/arcrole/parent-child to the bundled XBRL LRR taxonomy package.
Fixed bug in the Windows installer where installation would continue after the Cancel button was pressed.
Fixed bug where new windows did not properly inherit the layout of other windows.
Fixed exception thrown when double-clicking on a resource element in the Tree Locations tab.
Fixed bug where cached validation results were lost on restarting SpiderMonkey, leading to taxonomies being revalidated unnecessarily.
Remove the limit on heap size in 64-bit builds.

Fixed exception thrown by SpiderMonkey 2.7.0 when running a report last saved by any older version of SpiderMonkey.
Fixed bug in the Relationships view where pasting a tree structure that contained the same concept twice would paste its children twice.

This bug was introduced in SpiderMonkey 1.21.0.
