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
125href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525656&group_id=69750&func=browse">bug
126system</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>
