   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 &lt;body&gt;.)
   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>
