Stable Builds
The stable branch of EditLive! includes the latest bug fixes and minor improvements. We consider these builds ready for production use and they are fully supported by Ephox.
Before being released here, each stable build is put through the full suite of automated tests to ensure high quality, however these builds receive minimal manual testing. You are encouraged to exercise caution when deploying early access builds to production environments.
EditLive! 7.6.2.17
Bug Fixes
- Pasting ordered lists from Microsoft Word with numbers beyond 10 imported the list numbers incorrectly
- Requesting focus on ELJBean did not transfer focus to the active editing tab
- Inserting a BR at the end of a line did not move the cursor to the next line
- Moving columns of a table with no widths specified caused all cells in the table to change size
- In some cases the vertical scroll bar did not allow scrolling to the very bottom of the document
- Specifying both shorthand and specific margins or padding did not render with the correct CSS inheritance order
Development Builds
The development branch of EditLive! includes new features being developed for the next release and the latest bug fixes and minor improvements. Ephox will make best efforts to support these builds, however they are not recommended for production use as new features may be partially implemented or cause instability.
EditLive! 7.7.0.114
Please Note
- EditLive! spell checking is now implemented using a plugin. Please add <plugin name="spelling" /> to the "plugins" section of your configuration file to continue using the spell checker.
- The useNotModified attribute of the "spellcheck" tag in the config xml no longer has any effect.
- EditLive! now uses the Java Preferences API for registry storage on all platforms, unfortunately this means custom words added to the dictionary locally have been reset. This does not affect Linux, which already used Java Preferences.
- ELJBean now has a setConfigurationURL method that takes a URL instead of a String. The String method is deprecated. Malformed URLs loaded via the String method now throw an exception immediately instead of failing during the init() call.
- On Windows (IE and Opera pre 10.5, without "LocalDeployment" set), the automatic JRE download now points to Java 6u27. The "minJavaVersion" property is now ignored in this download URL - only Java 6 JREs are downloaded.
- The Swing SDK no longer has recovery options for when the "crash screen" appears. Calls to ELJBean functions after crash will throw exceptions. Recovery is still supported when running as an applet.
- A new word parser has been introduced for the spell checker. This changes how the document is split into words and passed to the spell checker, improving words with punctuation such as email addresses.
New Features
- EditLive! applet JavaScript has been rewritten. All JavaScript code now resides in editlivejava.js. The tab UI has changed, and setExpressEdit() now works with Inline Editing. This feature is not yet complete, feedback is welcome.
- Window view now supports Full Screen mode when running Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Update 1
- New ELJBean.setSpellerLoader() method allows replacement of the spelling engine in EditLive!
Bug Fixes
- Extra paragraphs between list items when importing some documents from MS Word
- EditLive! no longer adds colspan when merging cells in tables with only one row
- EditLive now imports list types from MS-Word as CSS "list-style-type", rather than HTML "type"
- Could not paste images copied from the "Preview" app on Mac
- Errors during Swing SDK startup were propogated as a NullPointerException from the init() method instead of displaying an error message
- Ignoring a word no longer causes it to appear in the list of spelling suggestions
Documentation
In many cases the documentation for new features may not be available immediately, if you need more information about features that have been added to early access releases please ask on the LiveWorks! mailing list and we'll help you get started.
