<h2>3.0-rc1</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Changes since 3.0-Beta:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2004-04-21 00:17:46 +02:00
|
|
|
<b>New plugins</b>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
ContextMenu plugin (provides a nice context menu with common
|
|
|
|
|
operations, including table ops, link ops, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
CSS plugin (provides an easy way to insert/change CSS classes)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
FullPage plugin (allows HTMLArea to edit a whole HTML file,
|
|
|
|
|
not only the content within <body>.)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|

<b>Changes in the SpellChecker plugin</b>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Many bugfixes: now it works ;-) Fully Unicode-safe.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Speed and bandwidth optimization: reports the list of
|
|
|
|
|
suggestions only once for each mispelled word; this helps
|
|
|
|
|
in cases where you have, for instance, the word “HTMLArea”
|
|
|
|
|
in 10 places all over the document; the list of
|
|
|
|
|
suggestions for it--which is kind of huge--will only be
|
|
|
|
|
included <em>once</em>.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
User interface improvements: the highlighted word will
|
|
|
|
|
remain in view; in cases where it's normally outside, the
|
|
|
|
|
window will be scrolled to it.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Added a "Revert" button for those that change their minds ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Added a "Info" button which reports information about the
|
|
|
|
|
document, retrieved by the server-side spell checker:
|
|
|
|
|
total number of words, total number of mispelled words,
|
|
|
|
|
number of suggestions made, spell check time, etc. More
|
|
|
|
|
can be easily added. <span class="fixme">FIXME: this part
|
|
|
|
|
is not yet internationalized.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
The server-side spell checker now uses XML::DOM instead of
|
|
|
|
|
HTML::Parser, which means that it will be unable to parse
|
|
|
|
|
“tag-soup” HTML. It needs valid code. Usually HTMLArea
|
|
|
|
|
generates valid code, but on rare occasions it might fail
|
|
|
|
|
and the spell checker will report a gross error message.
|
|
|
|
|
This gonna have to be fixed, but instead of making the
|
|
|
|
|
spell checker accept invalid HTML I prefer to make
|
|
|
|
|
HTMLArea generate valid code, so changes are to be done in
|
|
|
|
|
other places ;-)

<b>Changes in the core editor</b>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Easier to setup: you only need to load
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>htmlarea.js</tt>; other scripts will be loaded
|
|
|
|
|
automatically. <a href="reference.html">Documentation</a>
|
|
|
|
|
and <a href="examples/">examples</a> updated.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Better plugin support (they register information about
|
|
|
|
|
themselves with the editor; can register event handlers for
|
|
|
|
|
the editor, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
New about box; check it out, it's cool ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Word cleaner (can be enabled to automatically kill Word crap
|
|
|
|
|
on paste (see Config.killWordOnPaste); otherwise accessible by
|
|
|
|
|
pressing CTRL-0 in the editor; a toolbar button will come up
|
|
|
|
|
soon)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Image preview in "insert image" dialog. Also allows
|
|
|
|
|
modification of current image, if selected.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
New "insert link" dialog, allows target and title
|
|
|
|
|
specification, allows editing links.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Implemented support for text direction (left-to-right or
|
|
|
|
|
right-to-left).
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Lots of bug fixes! ... and more, I guess ;-) an
|
|
|
|
|
automatically generated <a href="ChangeLog">change log</a>
|
|
|
|
|

their status, some other time. If you reported bugs there and now

find them to be fixed, please let me know.</p>

<h2>Rationale for Beta</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Why was this released as "Beta"? The code is quite stable and it
|
|
|
|
|
didn't deserve a "Beta" qualification. However, there are some things
|
|
|
|
|
left to do for the real 3.0 version. These things will not affect the
|
|
|
|
|
API to work with HTMLArea, in other words, you can install the Beta
|
|
|
|
|
right now and then install the final release without modifying your
|
|
|
|
|
code. That's if you don't modify HTMLArea itself. ;-)</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>To-Do before 3.0 final</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>We should use a single popup interface. Currently there are two:
|
|
|
|
|
dialog.js and popupwin.js; dialog.js emulates modal dialogs, which
|
|
|
|
|
sucks when you want to open "select-color" from another popup and not
|
|
|
|
|
from the editor itself. Very buggy in IE. We should probably use only
|
|
|
|
|
modeless dialogs (that is, popupwin.js).</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Internationalization for the SpellChecker plugin.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Internationalization for the TableOperations plugin.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>People who sent translations are invited to re-iterate through
|
|
|
|
|
their work and make it up-to-date with lang/en.js which is the main
|
|
|
|
|
lang file for HTMLArea-3.0. Some things have changed but not all
|
|
|
|
|
translations are updated.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>Documentation</strong>.</li>
