16: <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: </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>
