! 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: </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>
