<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 |

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