Releases

EditLive 8.0.0.75

Release Notes | 05/09/2012 - 22:41

Notes

• 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.
• The ASP.NET integration is not included with this release. An updated integration will be made available shortly.
• The <sourceEditor errorDialog="simple" /> configuration option is no longer available.
• Java 1.4 is no longer supported. EditLive! now requires Java 5 or above.

New Features

• EditLive! rendering engine is 85% faster than the previous release
• EditLive! applet JavaScript has been rewritten. This introduces a number of changes:
  • All JavaScript code now resides in editlivejava.js. expressEdit.js and inlineEditing.js still exist to avoid 404s, but are empty.
  • Tabs are now rendered in JavaScript
  • setExpressEdit() method now works with Inline Editing and autosubmit
  • Inline Editing no longer displays a placeholder image when local images are detected in the content to preview
• Select Edit functionality is now available for all EditLive! integrations, including integrations using Inline Editing and/or autosubmit.
• New in-browser preview tab available with inline editing. Provides a browser-based preview of content created in EditLive! and TinyMCE.
• EditLive! now supports Java 7 (update 4 or above)
• Added setMinCrashTimeout API to both Applet and Swing SDK
• New ELJBean.addCrashListener function for notification of editor crashes. EditLive! Swing SDK no longer provides recovery options to the user.
• The Swing SDK no longer has recovery options for when the "crash screen" appears. Calls to Swing SDK functions after a crash will throw exceptions. Use ELJBean.addCrashListener to detect crashes.
• Equations now have a 1px padding by default
• 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.
• 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.
• EditLive! applet Window view now supports OS X Full Screen mode when running Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Update 1 or above
• New ELJBean.setSpellerLoader() method allows replacement of the spelling engine in EditLive!.
