We are migrating CKEditor issue tracking to GitHub. Please, use GitHub to report any new issues.
The former tracking system (this website) will still be available in the read-only mode. All issues reported in the past will still be available publicly and can be referenced.
Important: we decided not to transfer all the tickets to GitHub, as many of them are not reproducible anymore or simply no longer requested by the community.
If the issue you are interested in, can be still reproduced in the latest version of CKEditor, feel free to report it again on GitHub.
At the same time please note that issues reported on this website are still taken into consideration when picking up candidates for next milestones.
To report a new issue, go to https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/issues and follow the instructions in the issue template.

As CKEditor is JavaScript project, it will be nice to have a javascript build tool that let other users get rid of using java for build task.
CKBuilder uses Closure Compiler as the minifier and this was the reason why the builder itself was created using Rhino (JavaScript engine in Java). The build task is pretty complex, thus the need of having a dedicated tool. We were considering switching to node.js + uglify to build CKEditor already, but after a quick check we understood that it doesn't make sense to do it now, as it would take a few weeks at least, just to have a tool that does exactly what it does now.
When we'll be working on a new builder for CKEditor, you might be sure that we'd use node.js this time as we love JavaScript just like you.
