<h2>3.0-rc1</h2>
|
|
17
|
|
|
18
|
<p>Changes since 3.0-Beta:</p>
|
|
19
|
|
|
20
|
<ul>
|
|
21
|
<li>
|
|
22
|
<b>New plugins</b>
|
|
23
|
<ul>
|
|
24
|
<li>
|
|
25
|
ContextMenu plugin (provides a nice context menu with common
|
|
26
|
operations, including table ops, link ops, etc.)
|
|
27
|
</li>
|
|
28
|
<li>
|
|
29
|
CSS plugin (provides an easy way to insert/change CSS classes)
|
|
30
|
</li>
|
|
31
|
<li>
|
|
32
|
FullPage plugin (allows HTMLArea to edit a whole HTML file,
|
|
33
|
not only the content within <body>.)
|
|
34
|
</li>
|
|
35
|
</ul>
|
|
36
|
</li>
|
|
37
|
<li>
|
|
38
|
<b>Changes in the SpellChecker plugin</b>
|
|
39
|
<ul>
|
|
40
|
<li>
|
|
41
|
Many bugfixes: now it works ;-) Fully Unicode-safe.
|
|
42
|
</li>
|
|
43
|
<li>
|
|
44
|
Speed and bandwidth optimization: reports the list of
|
|
45
|
suggestions only once for each mispelled word; this helps
|
|
46
|
in cases where you have, for instance, the word “HTMLArea”
|
|
47
|
in 10 places all over the document; the list of
|
|
48
|
suggestions for it--which is kind of huge--will only be
|
|
49
|
included <em>once</em>.
|
|
50
|
</li>
|
|
51
|
<li>
|
|
52
|
User interface improvements: the highlighted word will
|
|
53
|
remain in view; in cases where it's normally outside, the
|
|
54
|
window will be scrolled to it.
|
|
55
|
</li>
|
|
56
|
<li>
|
|
57
|
Added a "Revert" button for those that change their minds ;-)
|
|
58
|
</li>
|
|
59
|
<li>
|
|
60
|
Added a "Info" button which reports information about the
|
|
61
|
document, retrieved by the server-side spell checker:
|
|
62
|
total number of words, total number of mispelled words,
|
|
63
|
number of suggestions made, spell check time, etc. More
|
|
64
|
can be easily added. <span class="fixme">FIXME: this part
|
|
65
|
is not yet internationalized.</span>
|
|
66
|
</li>
|
|
67
|
<li>
|
|
68
|
The server-side spell checker now uses XML::DOM instead of
|
|
69
|
HTML::Parser, which means that it will be unable to parse
|
|
70
|
“tag-soup” HTML. It needs valid code. Usually HTMLArea
|
|
71
|
generates valid code, but on rare occasions it might fail
|
|
72
|
and the spell checker will report a gross error message.
|
|
73
|
This gonna have to be fixed, but instead of making the
|
|
74
|
spell checker accept invalid HTML I prefer to make
|
|
75
|
HTMLArea generate valid code, so changes are to be done in
|
|
76
|
other places ;-)
|
|
77
|
</li>
|
|
78
|
</ul>
|
|
79
|
</li>
|
|
80
|
<li>
|
|
81
|
<b>Changes in the core editor</b>
|
|
82
|
<ul>
|
|
83
|
<li>
|
|
84
|
Easier to setup: you only need to load
|
|
85
|
<tt>htmlarea.js</tt>; other scripts will be loaded
|
|
86
|
automatically. <a href="reference.html">Documentation</a>
|
|
87
|
and <a href="examples/">examples</a> updated.
|
|
88
|
</li>
|
|
89
|
<li>
|
|
90
|
Better plugin support (they register information about
|
|
91
|
themselves with the editor; can register event handlers for
|
|
92
|
the editor, etc.)
|
|
93
|
</li>
|
|
94
|
<li>
|
|
95
|
New about box; check it out, it's cool ;-)
|
|
96
|
</li>
|
|
97
|
<li>
|
|
98
|
Word cleaner (can be enabled to automatically kill Word crap
|
|
99
|
on paste (see Config.killWordOnPaste); otherwise accessible by
|
|
100
|
pressing CTRL-0 in the editor; a toolbar button will come up
|
|
101
|
soon)
|
|
102
|
</li>
|
|
103
|
<li>
|
|
104
|
Image preview in "insert image" dialog. Also allows
|
|
105
|
modification of current image, if selected.
|
|
106
|
</li>
|
|
107
|
<li>
|
|
108
|
New "insert link" dialog, allows target and title
|
|
109
|
specification, allows editing links.
|
|
110
|
</li>
|
|
111
|
<li>
|
|
112
|
Implemented support for text direction (left-to-right or
|
|
113
|
right-to-left).
|
|
114
|
</li>
|
|
115
|
<li>
|
|
116
|
Lots of bug fixes! ... and more, I guess ;-) an
|
|
117
|
automatically generated <a href="ChangeLog">change log</a>
|
|

|

|

123

<p>I don't have the power to go through the <a
|
|
125
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
|
|
126
|
system</a> at SourceForge
|
|
127
|
now. Some of the bugs reported there may be fixed; I'll update
|
|
128
|
their status, some other time. If you reported bugs there and now
|
|
129
|
find them to be fixed, please let me know.</p>
