<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>
|

|
|
<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 |

</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>
