CKEditor 4.5 Beta
New Features:
Changes:
- #12858: Basic Spartan browser compatibility. Full compatibility will be introduced later, because at the moment Spartan is still too unstable to be used for tests and we see many changes from version to version.
- #12948: The
config.mathJaxLibrary option does not default to the MathJax CDN any more. It needs to be configured to enable the Mathematical Formulas plugin now.
- #13069: Fixed inconsistencies between
editable.insertHtml() and editable.insertElement() when the range parameter is used. Now, the editor.insertElement() method works on a higher level, which means that it saves undo snapshots and sets the selection after insertion. Use the editable.insertElementIntoRange() method directly for the pre 4.5 behavior of editable.insertElement().
- #12870: Use
editor.showNotification() instead of alert() directly whenever possible. When the Notification plugin is loaded, the notification system is used automatically. Otherwise, the native alert() is displayed.
- #8024: Swapped behavior of the Split Cell Vertically and Horizontally features of the Table Tools plugin to be more intuitive. Thanks to kevinisagit!
- #10903: Performance improvements for the
dom.element.addClass(), dom.element.removeClass() and dom.element.hasClass() methods. Note: The previous implementation allowed passing multiple classes to addClass() although it was only a side effect of that implementation. The new implementation does not allow this.
- #11856: The jQuery adapter throws a meaningful error if CKEditor or jQuery are not loaded.
Fixed issues:
- #11586: Fixed:
range.cloneContents() should not change the DOM in order not to affect selection.
- #12148: Fixed:
dom.element.getChild() should not modify a passed array.
- #12503: [Blink/Webkit] Fixed: Incorrect result of Select All and Backspace or Delete.
- #13001: [Firefox] Fixed: The
<br /> filler is placed in the wrong position by the range.fixBlock() method due to quirky Firefox behavior.
- #13101: [IE8] Fixed: Colons are prepended to HTML5 element names when cloning them.
CKEditor 4.4.8

-
Fixed XSS vulnerability in the HTML parser reported by Dheeraj Joshi and Prem Kumar.

An upgrade is highly recommended!

CKEditor 4.4
Important Notes:
- Marked the
editor.beforePaste event as deprecated.
- The default class of captioned images has changed to
image (was: caption). Please note that once edited in CKEditor 4.4+, all existing images of the caption class (<figure class="caption">) will be filtered out unless the config.image2_captionedClass option is set to caption. For backward compatibility (i.e. when upgrading), it is highly recommended to use this setting, which also helps prevent CSS conflicts, etc. This does not apply to new CKEditor integrations.
- Widgets without defined buttons are no longer registered automatically to the Advanced Content Filter. Before CKEditor 4.4 widgets were registered to the ACF which was an incorrect behavior (#11567). This change should not have any impact on standard scenarios, but if your button does not execute the widget command, you need to set
allowedContent and requiredContent properties for it manually, because the editor will not be able to find them.
- The Show Borders plugin was added to the Standard installation package in order to ensure that unstyled tables are still visible for the user (#11665).
- Since CKEditor 4.4 the editor instance should be passed to
CKEDITOR.style methods to ensure full compatibility with other features (e.g. applying styles to widgets requires that). We ensured backward compatibility though, so the CKEDITOR.style will work even when the editor instance is not provided.
New Features:
- #11297: Styles can now be applied to widgets. The definition of a style which can be applied to a specific widget must contain two additional properties —
type and widget. Read more in the Widget Styles section of the "Syles Drop-down" guide. Note that by default, widgets support only classes and no other attributes or styles. Related changes and features:
- Introduced the
CKEDITOR.style.addCustomHandler() method for registering custom style handlers.
- The
CKEDITOR.style.apply() and CKEDITOR.style.remove() methods are now called with an editor instance instead of the document so they can be reused by the CKEDITOR.editor.applyStyle() and CKEDITOR.editor.removeStyle() methods. Backward compatibility was preserved, but from CKEditor 4.4 it is highly recommended to pass an editor instead of a document to these methods.
- Many new methods and properties were introduced in the Widget API to make the handling of styles by widgets fully customizable. See:
widget.definition.styleableElements, widget.definition.styleToAllowedContentRule, widget.addClass(), widget.removeClass(), widget.getClasses(), widget.hasClass(), widget.applyStyle(), widget.removeStyle(), widget.checkStyleActive().
- Integration with the Allowed Content Filter required an introduction of the
CKEDITOR.style.toAllowedContent() method which can be implemented by the custom style handler and if exists, it is used by the CKEDITOR.filter to translate a style to allowed content rules.
- #11300: Various changes in the Enhanced Image plugin:
- Introduced the
config.image2_captionedClass option to configure the class of captioned images.
- Introduced the
config.image2_alignClasses option to configure the way images are aligned with CSS classes.
If this setting is defined, the editor produces classes instead of inline styles for aligned images.
- Default image caption can be translated (customized) with the
editor.lang.image2.captionPlaceholder string.
- #11341: Enhanced Image plugin: It is now possible to add a link to any image type.
- #10202: Introduced wildcard support in the Allowed Content Rules format.
- #10276: Introduced blacklisting in the Allowed Content Filter.
- #10480: Introduced code snippets with code highlighting. There are two versions available so far — the default Code Snippet which uses the highlight.js library and the Code Snippet GeSHi which uses the GeSHi library.
- #11737: Introduced an option to prevent filtering of an element that matches custom criteria (see
filter.addElementCallback()).
- #11532: Introduced the
editor.addContentsCss() method that can be used for adding custom CSS files.
- #11536: Added the
CKEDITOR.tools.htmlDecode() method for decoding HTML entities.
- #11225: Introduced the
CKEDITOR.tools.transparentImageData property which contains transparent image data to be used in CSS or as image source.
Other Changes:
- #11377: Unified internal representation of empty anchors using the fake objects.
- #11422: Removed Firefox 3.x, Internet Explorer 6 and Opera 12.x leftovers in code.
- #5217: Setting data (including switching between modes) creates a new undo snapshot. Besides that:
- The WebSpellChecker plugin was updated to the latest version.
Fixed Issues:
- #10190: Fixed: Removing block style with
editor.removeStyle() should result in a paragraph and not a div.
- #11727: Fixed: The editor tries to select a non-editable image which was clicked.

When you are implementing a new editor feature, you should base its behavior on dynamic or static Enter mode values depending on whether this feature works in selection context or globally on editor content.

selection.fake() method.

htmlParser.filter rules are not applied to non-editable elements (elements with contenteditable attribute set to false and their descendants) anymore. To add a rule which will be applied to all elements you need to pass an additional argument to the filter.addRules() method.
