  16      <h2>3.0-rc1</h2>
  17  
  18      <p>Changes since 3.0-Beta:</p>
  19  
  20      <ul>
  21        <li>
  22          <b>New plugins</b>
  23          <ul>
  24            <li>
  25              ContextMenu plugin (provides a nice context menu with common
  26              operations, including table ops, link ops, etc.)
  27            </li>
  28            <li>
  29              CSS plugin (provides an easy way to insert/change CSS classes)
  30            </li>
  31            <li>
  32              FullPage plugin (allows HTMLArea to edit a whole HTML file,
  33              not only the content within &lt;body&gt;.)
  34            </li>
  35          </ul>
  36        </li>
  37        <li>
  38          <b>Changes in the SpellChecker plugin</b>
  39          <ul>
  40            <li>
  41              Many bugfixes: now it works ;-)  Fully Unicode-safe.
  42            </li>
  43            <li>
  44              Speed and bandwidth optimization: reports the list of
  45              suggestions only once for each mispelled word; this helps
  46              in cases where you have, for instance, the word “HTMLArea�
  47              in 10 places all over the document; the list of
  48              suggestions for it--which is kind of huge--will only be
  49              included <em>once</em>.
  50            </li>
  51            <li>
  52              User interface improvements: the highlighted word will
  53              remain in view; in cases where it's normally outside, the
  54              window will be scrolled to it.
  55            </li>
  56            <li>
  57              Added a "Revert" button for those that change their minds ;-)
  58            </li>
  59            <li>
  60              Added a "Info" button which reports information about the
  61              document, retrieved by the server-side spell checker:
  62              total number of words, total number of mispelled words,
  63              number of suggestions made, spell check time, etc.  More
  64              can be easily added.  <span class="fixme">FIXME: this part
  65              is not yet internationalized.</span>
  66            </li>
  67            <li>
  68              The server-side spell checker now uses XML::DOM instead of
  69              HTML::Parser, which means that it will be unable to parse
  70              “tag-soup� HTML.  It needs valid code.  Usually HTMLArea
  71              generates valid code, but on rare occasions it might fail
  72              and the spell checker will report a gross error message.
  73              This gonna have to be fixed, but instead of making the
  74              spell checker accept invalid HTML I prefer to make
  75              HTMLArea generate valid code, so changes are to be done in
  76              other places ;-)
  77            </li>
  78          </ul>
  79        </li>
  80        <li>
  81          <b>Changes in the core editor</b>
  82          <ul>
  83            <li>
  84              Easier to setup: you only need to load
  85              <tt>htmlarea.js</tt>; other scripts will be loaded
  86              automatically.  <a href="reference.html">Documentation</a>
  87              and <a href="examples/">examples</a> updated.
  88            </li>
  89            <li>
  90              Better plugin support (they register information about
  91              themselves with the editor; can register event handlers for
  92              the editor, etc.)
  93            </li>
  94            <li>
  95              New about box; check it out, it's cool ;-)
  96            </li>
  97            <li>
  98              Word cleaner (can be enabled to automatically kill Word crap
  99              on paste (see Config.killWordOnPaste); otherwise accessible by
 100              pressing CTRL-0 in the editor; a toolbar button will come up
 101              soon)
 102            </li>
 103            <li>
 104              Image preview in "insert image" dialog.  Also allows
 105              modification of current image, if selected.
 106            </li>
 107            <li>
 108              New "insert link" dialog, allows target and title
 109              specification, allows editing links.
 110            </li>
 111            <li>
 112              Implemented support for text direction (left-to-right or
 113              right-to-left).
 114            </li>
 115            <li>
 116              Lots of bug fixes!  ... and more, I guess ;-) an
 117              automatically generated <a href="ChangeLog">change log</a>
 118              is now available.
 119            </li>
 120          </ul>
 121        </li>
 122      </ul>
 123  
 124      <p>I don't have the power to go through the <a
 125  href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
 126  system</a> at SourceForge
 127      now.  Some of the bugs reported there may be fixed; I'll update
 128      their status, some other time.  If you reported bugs there and now
 129      find them to be fixed, please let me know.</p>
