Version 2.4.1 (SVN)

New Features and Improvements:

• [Ticket-118] The SelectAll command now is available in Source Mode.

Fixed Bugs:

• Various fixes to the ColdFusion File Browser connector.
• We are now pointing the download of ieSpell to their pages, instead to a direct file download from one of their mirrors. This disables the ability of "click and go" (which can still be achieved by pointing the download to a file in your server), but removes any troubles with mirros link changes (and they change it frequently).
• The Word cleanup has been changed to remove "display:none" tags that may come from Word.
• [SF BUG-1659613] The 2.4 version introduced a bug in the flash handling code that generated out of memory errors in IE7.
• [SF BUG-1660456] The icons in context menus were draggable.
• [SF BUG-1653009] If the server is configured to process html files as asp then it generated ASP error 0138.
• [SF BUG-1288609] The content of iframes are preserved.
• [SF BUG-1245504] [SF BUG-1652240] Flash files without the .swf extension weren't recognized upon reload.
• [SF PATCH-1649753] Node selection for text didn't work in IE. Thanks to yurik dot m.
• [SF BUG-1573191] The Html code inserted with FCK.InsertHtml didn't have the same protection for special tags.
• [Ticket-110] The OK button in dialogs had its width set as an inline style.
• [Ticket-113] [Ticket-94] [SF BUG-1659270] ForcePasteAsPlainText didn't work in Firefox.

Version 2.4

New Features and Improvements:

• [SF Feature-1329273] [SF Feature-1456005] [SF BUG-1315002] [SF BUG-1350180] [SF BUG-1450689] [SF BUG-1461033] [SF BUG-1510111] [SF BUG-1203560] [SF BUG-1564838] The advance Enter Key Handler is now being introduced. It gives you complete freedom to configure the editor to generate <p>, <div> or <br> when the user uses both the [Enter] and [Shift]+[Enter] keys. The new "EnterMode" and "ShiftEnterMode" settings can be use to control its behavior. It also guarantees that all browsers will generate the same output.
• The new and powerful Keyboard Accelerator System is being introduced. You can now precisely control the commands to execute when some key combinations are activated by the user. It guarantees that all browsers will have the same behavior regarding the shortcuts.
  It also makes it possible to remove buttons from the toolbar and still invoke their features by using the keyboard instead.
  It also blocks all default "CTRL based shortcuts" imposed by the browsers, so if you don't want users to underline text, just remove the CTRL+U combination from the keystrokes table. Take a look at the FCKConfig.Keystrokes setting in the fckconfig.js file.
• The new "ProtectedTags" configuration option is being introduced. It will accept a list of tags (separated by a pipe "|"), which will have no effect during editing, but will still be part of the document DOM. This can be used mainly for non HTML standard, custom tags.
• Dialog box commands can now open resizable dialogs (by setting oCommand.Resizable = true).
• Updated support for AFP. Thanks to Soenke Freitag.
• New language file:
  • Afrikaans (by Willem Petrus Botha).
• [SF Patch-1456343] New sample file showing how to dynamically exchange a textarea and an instance of FCKeditor. Thanks to Finn Hakansson
• [SF Patch-1496115] [SF BUG-1588578] [SF BUG-1376534] [SF BUG-1343506] [SF Feature-1211065] [SF Feature-949144] The content of anchors are shown and preserved on creation. *

• [SF Patch-1500040] New configuration values to specify the Id and Class for the body element.
• [SF Patch-1577202] The links created with the popup option now are accessible even if the user has JavaScript disabled.
• [SF Patch-1443472] [SF BUG-1576488] [SF BUG-1334305] [SF BUG-1578312] The Paste from Word clean up function can be configured with FCKConfig.CleanWordKeepsStructure to preserve the markup as much as possible. Thanks Jean-Charles ROGEZ.
• [SF Patch-1472654] The server side script location for SpellerPages can now be set in the configuration file, by using the SpellerPagesServerScript setting.
• Attention: All connectors are now pointing by default to the "/userfiles/" folder instead of "/UserFiles/" (case change). Also, the inner folders for each type (file, image, flash and media) are all lower-cased too.
• Attention: The UseBROnCarriageReturn configuration is not anymore valid. The EnterMode setting can now be used to precisely set the enter key behavior.

Fixed Bugs:

• [SF BUG-1599545] HTML entities are now processed on attribute values too.
• [SF BUG-1598517] Meta tags are now protected from execution during editing (avoiding the "redirect" meta to be activated).
• [SF BUG-1415601] Firefox internals: styleWithCSS is used instead of the deprecated useCSS whenever possible.
• All JavaScript Core extension function have been renamed to "PascalCase" (some were in "camelCase"). This may have impact on plugins that use any of those functions.
• [SF BUG-1592311] Operations in the caption of tables are now working correctly in both browsers.
• Small interface fixes to the about box.
• [SF PATCH-1604576] [SF BUG-1604301] Link creation failed in Firefox 3 alpha. Thanks to Arpad Borsos

Version 2.3.3

New Features and Improvements:

• The project has been relicensed under the terms of the GPL / LGPL / MPL licenses. This change will remove many licensing compatibility issues with other open source licenses, making the editor even more "open" than before.
• Attention: The default directory in the distribution package is now named "fckeditor" (in lowercase) instead of "FCKeditor".  This change may impact installations on case sensitive OSs, like Linux.
• Attention: The "Universal Keyboard" has been removed from the package. The license of those files was unclear so they can't be included alongside the rest of FCKeditor.

Version 2.3.2

New Features and Improvements:

• Users can now decide if the template dialog will replace the entire contents of the editor or simply place the template in the cursor position. This feature can be controlled by the "TemplateReplaceAll" and "TemplateReplaceCheckbox" configuration options.
• [SF Patch-1237693] A new configuration option (ProcessNumericEntities) is now available to tell the editor to convert non ASCII chars to their relative numeric entity references. It is disabled by default.
• The new "AdditionalNumericEntities" setting makes it possible to define a set of characters to be transformed to their relative numeric entities. This is useful when you don't want the code to have simple quotes ('), for example.
• The Norwegian language file (no.js) has been duplicated to include the Norwegian Bokmal (nb.js) in the supported interface languages. Thanks to Martin Kronstad.
• Two new patterns have been added to the Universal Keyboard:
  • Persian. Thanks to Pooyan Mahdavi
  • Portuguese. Thanks to Bo Brandt.
• [SF Patch-1517322] It is now possible to define the start number on numbered lists. Thanks to Marcel Bennett.
• The Font Format combo will now reflect the EditorAreaCSS styles.
• [SF Patch-1461539] The File Browser connector can now optionally return a "url" attribute for the files. Thanks to Pent.
• [SF BUG-1090851] The new "ToolbarComboPreviewCSS" configuration option has been created, so it is possible to point the Style and Format toolbar combos to a different CSS, avoiding conflicts with the editor area CSS.
• [SF Feature-1421309] [SF BUG-1489402] It is now possible to configure the Quick Uploder target path to consider the file type (ex: Image or File) in the target path for uploads.
• The JavaScript integration file has two new things:
  • The "CreateHtml()" function in the FCKeditor object, used to retrieve the HTML of an editor instance, instead of writing it directly to the page (as done by "Create()").
  • The global "FCKeditor_IsCompatibleBrowser()" function, which tells if the executing browser is compatible with FCKeditor. This makes it possible to do any necessary processing depending on the compatibility, without having to create and editor instance.

Fixed Bugs:

• [SF BUG-1525242] [SF BUG-1500050] All event attributes (like onclick or onmouseover) are now being protected before loading the editor. In this way, we avoid firing those events during editing (IE issue) and they don't interfere in other specific processors in the editor.

• [SF Patch-1503178] Small improvement to stop IE from loading smiley images when one smiley is quickly selected from a huge list of smileys. Thanks to stuckhere.

• [SF BUG-1548788] Updated the ieSpell download URL.

• [SF BUG-1507755] Fixed a conflict between the "DisableObjectResizing" and "ShowBorders" configuration options over IE.
• Opera 9 tries to "mimic" Gecko in the browser detection system of FCKeditor. As this browser is not "yet" supported, the editor was broken on it. It has been fixed, and now a textarea is displayed, as in any other unsupported browser. Support for Opera is still experimental and can be activated by setting the property "EnableOpera" to true when creating an instance of the editor with the JavaScript integration files.
• With Opera 9, the toolbar was jumping on buttons rollover.
• [SF BUG-1509479] The iframes used in Firefox for all editor panels (dropdown combos, context menu, etc...) are now being placed right before the main iframe that holds the editor. In this way, if the editor container element is removed from the DOM (by DHTML) they are removed together with it.
• [SF BUG-1271070] [SF BUG-1411430] The editor API now works well on DHTML pages that create and remove instances of FCKeditor dynamically.

Version 2.3

New Features and Improvements:

• Fixed many memory leak issues with IE.
• [SF BUG-1489768] The panels (context menus, toolbar combos and color selectors), where being displayed in the wrong position if the contents of the editor, or its containing window were scrolled down.

• [SF BUG-1493438] The "Word Wrap" combo in the cell properties dialog now accepts only Yes/No (no more <Not Set> value).

• [SF Patch-1437052] [SF Patch-1436166] [SF Patch-1352385] Small fix to the FCK.InsertHtml, FCKTools.AppendStyleSheet and FCKSelection.SelectNode functions over IE. Thanks to Alfonso Martinez.
• [SF Patch-1349765] Small fix to the FCKSelection.GetType over Firefox. Thanks to Alfonso Martinez.
• [SF Patch-1495422] The editor now creates link based on the URL when no selection is available. Thanks to Dominik Pesch.
• [SF Patch-1478859] On some circumstances, the Yahoo popup blocker was blocking the File Browser window, giving no feedback to the user. Now an alert message is displayed.
• When using the editor in a RTL localized interface, like Arabic, the toolbar combos were not showing completely in the first click. Fixed.
• [SF BUG-1500212] All "_samples/html" samples are now working when loading directly from the Windows Explorer. Thanks to Alfonso Martinez.
• The "FitWindow" feature was breaking the editor under Firefox 1.0.x.
• [SF Patch-1500032] In Firefox, the caret position now follows the user clicks when clicking in the white area bellow the editor contents. Thanks to Alfonso Martinez.

New Features and Improvements:

• Extremely Fast Loading! The editor now loads more than 3 times faster than before, with no impact on its advanced features.
• New toolbar system:

  • The "Text Color" and "Background Color" commands buttons have enhancements on the interface.
  • Attention: As a completely new system has being developed. Skins created for versions prior this one will not work. Skin styles definitions have being merged, added and removed. All skins have been a little bit reviewed.
  • It is possible to detach the toolbar from an editor instance and share it with other instances. In this way you may have only one toolbar (in the top of the window, for example, that can be used by many editors (see sample10.html). This feature is still under development (issues with IE focus still to be solved).*
• New context menu system:
  • It uses the same (fast) loading system as the toolbar.
  • Sub-Menus are now available to group features (try the context menu over a table cell).
  • It is now possible to create your own context menu entries by creating plugins.
• New "FitWindow" toolbar button, based on the plugin published by Paul Moers. Thanks Paul!
• "Auto Grow" Plugin: automatically resizes the editor until a maximum height, based on its contents size.**
• [SF Feature-1444943] Multiple CSS files can now be used in the editing area. Just define FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS as an array of strings (each one is a path to a different css file). It works also as a simple string, as on prior versions.
• New language files:
  • Bengali / Bangla (by Richard Walledge).
  • English (Canadian) (by Kevin Bennett).
  • Khmer (by Sengtha Chay).
• The source view is now available in the editing area on Gecko browsers. Previously a popup was used for it (due to a Firefox bug).
• As some people may prefer the popup way for source editing, a new configuration option (SourcePopup) has being introduced.
• The IEForceVScroll configuration option has been removed. The editor now automatically shows the vertical scrollbar when needed (for XHTML doctypes).
• The configuration file doesn't define a default DOCTYPE to be used now.
• It is now possible to easily change the toolbar using the JavaScript API by just calling <EditorInstance>.ToolbarSet.Load( '<ToolbarName>' ). See _testcases/010.html for a sample.
• The "OnBlur" and "OnFocus" JavaScript API events are now compatible with all supported browsers.
• Some few updates in the Lasso connector and uploader.
• The GeckoUseSPAN setting is now set to "false" by default. In this way, the code produced by the bold, italic and underline commands are the same on all browsers.

• The table dialog window has been a little bit enlarged to avoid contents being cropped on some languages, like Russian.
• [SF BUG-1465203] The ieSpell download URL has been updated. The problem is that they don't have a fixed URL for it, so let's hope the mirror will be up for it.
• [SF BUG-1456332] Small fix in the Spanish language file.
• [SF BUG-1457078] The File Manager was generating 404 calls in the server.

  • The "Uploader", used for quick uploads, is now available natively for ColdFusion.
  • Small bugs have been corrected in the File Browser connector.
  • The samples now work as is, even if you don't install the editor in the "/FCKeditor" directory.
• And a big welcome also to "Andrew Liu", our responsible for the Python integration. This version is bringing native support for Python , including the File Browser connector and Quick Upload.
• The "IsDirty()" and "ResetIsDirty()" functions have been added to the JavaScript API to check if the editor content has been changed.*

• Attention: A new "PreserveSessionOnFileBrowser" configuration option has been introduced. It makes it possible to set whenever is needed to maintain the user session in the File Browser. It is disabled by default, as it has very specific usage and may cause the File Browser to be blocked by popup blockers. If you have custom File Browsers that depends on session information, remember to activate it.
• Attention: The "fun" smileys set has been removed from the package. If you are using it, you must manually copy it to newer installations and upgrades.
• Attention: The "mcpuk" file browser has been removed from the package. We have no ways to support it. There were also some licensing issues with it. Its web site can still be found at http://mcpuk.net/fbxp/.

• On IE, the "Format" toolbar dropdown now reflects the current paragraph type on IE.

• [SF BUG-1200328] The editor now offers a way to "protect" part of the source to remain untouched while editing or changing views. Just use the "FCKConfig.ProtectedSource" object to configure it and customize to your needs. It is based on regular expressions. See fckconfig.js for some samples.

• [SF Feature-1246623] The new configuration option "ForceStrongEm" has been introduced so you can force the editor to convert all <B> and <I> tags to <STRONG> and <EM> respectively.
• A nice contribution has been done by Goss Interactive Ltd:
  • [SF BUG-1246949] Implemented ENTER key and BACKSPACE key handlers for Gecko so that P tags (or an appropriate block element) get inserted instead of BR tags when not in the UseBROnCarriageReturn config mode.
    The ENTER key handling has been written to function much the same as the ENTER key handling on IE : as soon as the ENTER key is pressed, existing content will be wrapped with a suitable block element (P tag) as appropriate and a new block element (P tag) will be started.
    The ENTER key handler also caters for pressing ENTER within empty list items - ENTER in an empty item at the top of a list will remove that list item and start a new P tag above the list; ENTER in an empty item at the bottom of a list will remove that list item and start a new P tag below the list; ENTER in an empty item in the middle of a list will remove that list item, split the list into two, and start a new P tag between the two lists.
  • Any tables that are found to be incorrectly nested within a block element (P tag) will be moved out of the block element when loaded into the editor. This is required for the new ENTER/BACKSPACE key handlers and it also avoids non-compliant HTML. 
  • The InsertOrderedList and InsertUnorderedList commands have been overridden on Gecko to ensure that block elements (P tags) are placed around a list item's content when it is moved out of the list due to clicking on the editor's list toolbar buttons (when not in the UseBROnCarriageReturn config mode).

Fixed Bugs:

• [SF BUG-1253255] [SF BUG-1265520] Due to changes on version 2.0, the anchor list was not anymore visible in the link dialog window. It has been fixed.

• [SF BUG-1251373 ] The above fix also has corrected some strange behaviors on Firefox.
• [SF BUG-1144258] [SF BUG-1092081] The File Browsers now run on the same server session used in the page where the editor is placed in (IE issue). Thanks to Simone Chiaretta.
• [SF BUG-1305619 ] No more repeated login dialogs when running the editor with Windows Integrated Security with IIS.
• [SF Patch-1245304] The Test Case 004 is now working correctly. It has been changed to set the editor hidden at startup.
• [SF BUG-1290610 ] Over HTTPS, there were some warnings when loading the Images, Flash and Link dialogs. Fixed.
• Due to Gecko bugs, two errors were thrown when loading the editor in a hidden div. Workarounds have been introduced. In any case, the testcase 004 hack is needed when showing the editor (as in a tabbed interface).

• [SF Patch-1287070 ] In the Universal Keyboard, the Arabic keystrokes translator is now working with Firefox. Thanks again to Abdul-Aziz Al-Oraij.
• The editor now handles AJAX requests with HTTP status 304.
• [SF BUG-1157780] [SF BUG-1229077] Weird comments are now handled correctly (ignored on some cases).

• [SF BUG-1272018] The ampersand character can now be added from the Special Chars dialog.

• [SF BUG-1279551] [SF BUG-1242105] On IE, some features are dependant of ActiveX components (secure... distributed with IE itself). Some security setting could avoid the usage of those components and the editor would stop working. Now a message is shown, indicating the use the minimum necessary settings need by the editor to run.
• [SF BUG-1298880] Firefox can't handle the STRONG and EM tags. Those tags are now converted to B and I so it works accordingly.
• [SF BUG-1271723] On IE, it is now possible to select the text and work correctly in the contents of absolute positioned/dimensioned divs.

New Features and Improvements:

Due to limitations of the browsers, it is not possible to see the preview of the movie while editing, so a nice "placeholder" is used instead. *

(Actually, the editor automatically "grows" empty elements to make the user able to enter text on it).

• [SF BUG-1085034] [SF BUG-1076796] Some bugs in the PHP connector have been corrected.
• A problem with the "Format" command on IE browsers on languages different of English has been solved. The negative side of this correction is that due to a IE bad design it is not possible to update the "Format" combo while moving throw the text (context sensitive).
• On Gecko browsers, when selecting an image and executing the "New Page" command, the image handles still appear, even if the image is not available anymore (this is a Gecko bug). When clicking in a "phanton" randle, the browser crashes. It doesn't happen (the crash) anymore.

• [SF BUG-1077747] The missing images on the Office2003 and Silver skins are now included in the package.

• [SF BUG-1004078] ColdFusion: The "config" structure/hash table with keys and values is in ColdFusion not(!) case sensitive. All keys returned by ColdFusion are in upper case format. Because the FCKeditor configuration keys must be case sensitive, we had to match all structure/hash keys with a list of the correct configuration names in mixed case. This has been added to the fckeditor.cfc and fckeditor.cfm.
• [SF BUG-1075166] ColdFusion: The "fallback" variant of the texteditor (<textarea>) has a bug in the fckeditor.cfm. This has been fixed.

• A new "_docs" folder has been introduced for the documentation. It is not yet complete, but I hope the community will help us to fill it better.
• It is now possible (even if it is not recommended by the W3C) to force the use of simple ampersands (&) on attributes (like the links href) instead of its entity &amp;. Just set FCKConfig.ForceSimpleAmpersand = true in the configuration file.

• A minimal browse server sample is now available in ASP. Thanks to Andreas Barnet.

Version 1.4

• ATTENTION: For PHP users: The editor was changed and now uses htmlspecialchars instead of htmlentities when handling the initial value. It should works well, but please make some tests before upgrading definitively. If there is any problem just uncomment the line in the fckeditor.php file (and send me a message!).

• A new method is available for PHP users. It's called ReturnFCKeditor. It works exactly like CreateFCKeditor, but it returns a string with the HTML for the editor instead of output it (echo). This feature is useful for people who are working with Smarty Templates or something like that. Thanks to Timothy J. Finucane.
• Many people have had problems with international characters over PHP. I had also the same problem. PHP have strange problems with character encoding. The code hasn't been changed but just saved again with Western European encoding. Now it works well in my system.
  Take a look also at the "default_charset" configuration option at the php.ini file. It doesn't seem to be an editor's problem but a PHP issue.

• The Table dialog box now handles the Style width and height set in the table (Thanks to Roberto Arruda). There where many problems on prior version when people changed manually the table's size, dragging the size handles, and then it was not possible to set a new size using the table dialog box.

  • Chinese (Taiwan) (zh-tw)
  • Greek (gr)
  • German (de)

Version 1.1

• The "Multi Language" system is now available. This version ships with English and Italian versions completed. Other languages will be available soon. The editor automatically detects the client language and sets all labels, tooltips and dialog boxes to it, if available. The auto detection and the default language can be set in the fck_config.file.
• Two files can now be created to isolate customizations code from the original source code of the editor: fckeditor.config.js and fckeditor.custom.js. Create these files in the root folder of your web site, if needed. The first one can be used to add or override configurations set on fck_config.js. The second one is used for custom actions and behaviors.
• A problem with relative links and images like "/test/test.doc" has been solved. In prior versions, only with XHTML support enabled, the URL was changed to something like "http://www.mysite.xxx/test/test.doc" (The domain was automatically added).

• [SF BUG-712103] The style command is localized, so it depends on the IE language to work. Until version 0.9.5 it was working only over English IE browsers. Now it configures itself using the client's language.
