<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>
|
| 118 |
|
|
is now available.
|
| 119 |
|

</li>
|
| 120 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 121 |
|

|
| 122 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 123 |
|

|
| 124 |
|
|
<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>
