<h1>HTMLArea-3.0-RC3 release notes</h1>
<p>This release was compiled on Jan , 2005 [23:43] GMT.</p>
<p>Changes since 3.0-RC2b:</p>
<ul>
<li>Restored broken images and re-committed ALL images back to CVS in binary mode.
<li>Added error with instructions for when HTMLArea.init() isn't called first.
<li>Fixed examples to call HTMLArea.init() first:
<ul>
<li>2-areas.html
<li>character_map.html
<li>css.html
<li>dynamic_css.html
<li>list-type.html
<li>remove-font-tags.html
</ul>
<li>
</ul>
<p>Changes since 3.0-Beta:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<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 &lt;body&gt;.)
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<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 ;-)
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<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>
is now available.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I don't have the power to go through the <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
system</a> at SourceForge
now. Some of the bugs reported there may be fixed; I'll update
their status, some other time. If you reported bugs there and now
find them to be fixed, please let me know.</p>
