Aloha Editor Changelog

This document is to serve as a "what has been done" in terms of the Roadmap

All changes are categorized into one of the following keywords:

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The change requires changes to existing implementation.
  • FEATURE: The change introduces a new feature, or modifies the function, usage, or intent of an existing one.
  • ENHANCEMENT: The change improves the software, but otherwise makes no functional change to any feature.
  • BUGFIX: The change fixes a bug.

0.23.6 - 2013/04/18

  • BUGFIX: Previously selected blocks are no longer deleted when hitting backspace from inside an Aloha Editor UI.
  • BUGFIX: This change fixes the behaviour of linebreaks by preventing paragraphs to be inserted inside editable spans and paragraphs, and improves the editor's robustness against errors when inserting paragraphs.

0.23.5 - 2013/04/11

ENHANCEMENT: Added missing german translations for table plugin components BUGFIX: (core/engine) It is made possible to completely delete the contents of an editable while editing using commands like CTL+A, DEL. BUGFIX: Cursor styles that are added inside tables for resizing are now correctly removed when the table is no longer editable. BUGFIX: A bug was fixed with additional elements being appended to a table, if a rowspan was set in its last column. BUGFIX: A problem was fixed that prevented table-cells to be selected after their header-status was changed. BUGFIX: (table) This fix allows the active cell to be split into its parts if it has a col- or rowspan, even if it is not part of a selection. BUGFIX: Fixed applying predefined styles to tables and table-elements

0.23.4 - 2013/04/04

  • BUGFIX: Added missing documentation for the Sidebar.
  • BUGFIX: Characterpicker now opens in IE
  • BUGFIX: Headerids plugin no longer changes ids of Aloha Editables, which was causing implementations to loose track of editables during saving of example.
  • BUGFIX: naturalfit-button (reset) in table resize plugin did not remove width from table head (th) elements

0.23.3 - 2013/03/22

  • BUGFIX: No longer automatically append <br> elements to block-level elements unless they are empty.
  • BUGFIX: DOM-to-XHTML plugin: Fixed handling of closing angle brackets, which caused problems when these were included in attributes.
  • BUGFIX: Characterpicker plugin: Fixed the overlay not defining a font color for the characters in the overlay and inheriting the color from the content. If the font color was white the text in the overlay wasn't visible.
  • BUGFIX: Characterpicker plugin: Fixed the error "Object [object Object] has no method 'is'" occuring, when clicking into an editable.
  • BUGFIX: No longer remove the last arbitrary <br> element inside <li> elements.
  • BUGFIX: Sidebar: Fixed the styles in some plugins, which looked a bit broken and moved some css styles to the core.css.

0.23.2 - 2013/03/15

  • BUGFIX: Fixed editables losing focus and the toolbar dissapearing when clicking on the toolbar, on a dialog or on an attribute field from a plugin (link, wai-lang)
  • BUGFIX: Fixed the text selection background color not being removed when selecting something from the attribute field of a plugin (link, wai-lang)
  • BUGFIX: No longer automatically append <br> elements to block-level elements unless they are empty.

0.23.1 - 2013/03/07

  • BUGFIX: Ensured that the floating menu will not cover small editables whenever possible.
  • ENHANCEMENT: state-override: when pressing a formatting button and the cursor is not within a word, a state override will be set such that any text that is subsequently typed will acquire the appropriate formatting.
  • BUGFIX: core: Aloha incorrectly reported that Chrome was not supported.

0.23.0 - 2013/02/28

  • ENHANCEMENT: format-plugin: b/strong and i/em handling The "b" button will show as pressed if the selection contains "strong" formatting, and will unformat the "strong" if unpressed. The same behaviour was implemented for the i/em combination.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Place the caret after the character that is inserted by characterpicker.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Introducing Modal.modal()--a stripped down modal dialog that can be customized for specific purposes.
  • ENHANCEMENT: The Ephmera API was changed aloha-cleanme class has been renamed to aloha-ephemera. aloha-ui-* classes have been renamed to aloha-ephemera-. Ephemera.ephemera() now doesn't merge the given value any more, but sets it (see function documentation for more information). ephemera.attrMap doesn't accept 'ELEMENT.attribute': true entries any more, instead use 'attribute': ['ELEMENT']. The mark functions are now optional (modifications performed by these functions are documented and part of the API).
  • ENHANCEMENT: jquery-ui and jquery.layout were upgraded
  • ENHANCEMENT: used hints from #749 to improve file size of icons
  • BUGFIX: Fix support for editable anchor elements
  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: Tables which are inside editables what are inside of blocks will now transformed into Aloha Tables as they ought to be.

  • BUGFIX: link-plugin: Fix metaKey + click doesn't follow link (still doesn't work on IE7)
  • BUGFIX: core: when a placeholder was defined for an editable, a placeholder wrapper element was injected into all editables instead of only the editable the placeholder was defined for.
  • BUGFIX: core: Aloha.settings.locale property was not honored.

  • BUGFIX: core: Some i18n strings within some modal dialog buttons were fixed.
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed Aloha's initialization order to ensure that repositorymanager will be initialized before plugins are initialized.

0.22.4 - 2012/12/03

  • FEATURE: core: makeClean is in the process of being obsoleted in favor of the aloha/ephemera.js module. See http://aloha-editor.org/guides/writing_plugins.html

  • ENHANCEMENT: table plugin: IE fix -- the selection of multiple cells was not possible when the selection started in the text; there was no workaround so it's now possible to select coherent cells when you "shift-click" into the second cell of the range you want to select

  • ENHANCEMENT: The metaview view can now be enabled per editable. Aloha.settings = { plugins: { metaview: { editables: { '#top-text': ['metaview','enabled'] } } } };

  • BUGFIX: formatlesspaste-plugin: Formatless Paste Plugin fixed to correctly process configuration settings.

  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: Ensures that the range is maintained when clicking inside table cells.

  • BUGFIX: the underline button didn't show up in the toolbar after adding the 'u' in the format-plugin configuration.

  • BUGFIX: All repositories have been queried even if a target repository has been spezified. Now only the spezified repository is queried.

  • BUGFIX: core/aloha-links: Prevents yellow borders around aloha-links blocks

  • BUGFIX: link-plugin: link scope remains active after the selection leaves an anchor element

  • BUGFIX: blocks: The floating menu will appear when the editor double-clicks in an editable block.

  • BUGFIX: core/selection: Aloha no longer inadvertently removes ranges that are outside of editables.

  • BUGFIX: characterpicker: popup now follows the floating menu while scrolling

  • BUGFIX: dom utils: fixes potential bug that may cause attributes with the slash '/' character in the name to appear in the result of getContents().

  • BUGFIX: word content handler: Fixed handling of pasted MS Word content to not result in broken markup when the content contains tables with cells that are all empty.

  • BUGFIX: core/plugins: Fixed plugin initialization to ensure that the "aloha-ready" event is not fired before all plugins have notified that they are fully initialized.

  • BUGFIX: characterpicker & horizontalruler: Fixes icon styling to display correct images event when a user-specified jquery ui stylsheet is included in the page.

  • BUGFIX: block-plugin: Fixed activation of correct block when active editable is changed using Keys (Tab, Shift-Tab) or programmatically.

  • BUGFIX: block-plugin: Fixed handling of copy & paste in editables that are nested inside blocks. Before this fix, when pressing CTRL-C to copy the current selection in an editable nested inside a block, the whole block was selected and copied.

0.22.3 - 2012/11/06

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Updated UI CSS regarding button selector;

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Added a demo of placeholders to boilerplate;

  • FEATURE: align-plugin: The align plugin is now capable of aligning table cell contents.

  • FEATURE: core: makeClean is in the process of being obsoleted in favor of the aloha/ephemera.js module. See http://aloha-editor.org/guides/writing_plugins.html

  • FEATURE: improved translation export from gengo.com to Aloha Editor Aloha.settings.plugins: { captionedImage: { allowLinebreak: [ 'p' ], // ['br', 'p'], true or false (default) } }

  • ENHANCEMENT: browser: The old browser plugin was removed. The browser-plugin was replaced by the repository browser vendor plugin.

  • ENHANCEMENT: RepositoryBrowser: The repository browser will now correctly handle localisation for the languages english and german.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Trigger the 'aloha-smart-content-changed' event with triggerType = block-change whenever an attribute of an Aloha Block is changed.

  • BUGFIX: Fix base tag breaks Aloha Editor UI

  • BUGFIX: Fix calling mahalo in a blur event handler

  • BUGFIX: Fix support for editable anchor elements

    has been specified. Now only the specified repository is queried.

  • BUGFIX: core/aloha-links: Prevents yellow borders around aloha-links blocks

  • BUGFIX: link-plugin: link scope remains active after the selection leaves an anchor element

  • BUGFIX: blocks: The floating menu will appear when the editor double-clicks in an editable block.

  • BUGFIX: core/selection: Aloha no longer inadvertently removes ranges that are outside of editables.

  • BUGFIX: added aloha-cleanme class to aloha-block-handle to prevent potential issues with temporary elements not being cleaned up.

  • FEATURE: align-plugin: the align plugin is now capable of aligning table cell contents

  • FEATURE: table-plugin: table cells can now have individual classes like rows and columns

0.22.2 - 2012/10/08

  • FEATURE: core: makeClean is in the process of being obsoleted in favor of the aloha/ephemera.js module. See http://aloha-editor.org/guides/writing_plugins.html
  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: A javascript error was fixed that occured when removing the whole table.

0.22.1 - 2012/09/26

  • FEATURE: core: Added method Aloha.getEditableHost() to get the editable, that contains the given jQuery object.

  • FEATURE: repository browser: If one of the repositories runs into a timeout during query, the browser will now call the method handleTimeout().

  • FEATURE: abbr-plugin: We added a remove abbreviation button to make the functionality more consistent with the wai-lang plugin.

  • FEATURE: metaview: We now also display HR tags in the metaview. We also removed the dependency to the flag-icons plugin.

  • FEATURE: list-plugin: When transforming a list from ul to ol or back all sub elements that are selected are also transformed.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Aloha Blocks will now publish a message on the channel "aloha.blocks.initialized" when a block is fully initialized.

  • ENHANCEMENT: The Block Plugin now allows you to configure your own root tags for block creation. Every time you create a new block, the block plugin will check if its root node is supported. You may now change the roots nodes and use your own list root tags. If you want to use Aloha Blocks drag'n drop functionalities we strongly suggest that you do not use other root tags than div and span. See the guides at http://www.aloha-editor.org/guides/plugin_block.html for further information.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Aloha Editor will no longer annotate end
    tags, which are used to prop up empty block-level elements that would be otherwise rendererd invisbly, with the "aloha-end-br" class. This should result in cleaner markup.

  • BUGFIX: Added missing icon for the block plugins toggledragdrop button

  • BUGFIX: Rangy Core: Patches Rangy to include a workaround for html5shiv's violation of document.createElement().

      As detailed in this discussion:
  https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/issues/64: html5shiv monkey
  patches the native document.createElement() function in browsers like
  IE8 and older, which do no support HTML5.  However, it does in a way
  that seriously deviates from the contract that the native
  document.createElement() function establishes, because it creates
  elements which have non-null siblings and parentNode.

  This violation causes Rangy to throw an exception in IE8 or IE7.

  The workaround prevents this error by detaching the element that was
  created via html4shiv's implementation of document.createElement() from
  its parentNode, near the critical area of code where the exception
  occurs.

  • BUGFIX: Moved call to execCommand('enableObjectResizing', false, false) to init method of editable. Otherwise, FF 15 (and above) will throw a JS error, if execCommand('enableObjectResizing', false, false) is called with no contenteditable elements found in the page.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed Javascript error when doing searches in the repository browser (which caused to search to not be done).

  • BUGFIX: added the del format button to the possible format plugin buttons

    The del button is not enabled by default. To enable it, it has to be configured. For example

    Aloha.settings.plugins.format.config = ['del', ...];

    See http://aloha-editor.org/guides/plugin_format.html

  • BUGFIX: characterpicker-plugin: Fixed a bug that when inserting a special character using the character picker plugin, the focus would be sometimes set to the start of the active editable (e.g. when inserting into a table cell).

  • BUGFIX: listenforcer-plugin: Fixed a bug that would only mark the first editable matching a configured selector as an enforced editable. Also when leaving an editable, we now remove the added list properly.

  • BUGFIX: core: Sometimes when putting the cursor at the first position of an editable, the cursor would vanish or be put outside the editable. This has been fixed.

0.22.0 - 2012/09/03

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Updated UI CSS regarding button selector.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Added a demo of placeholders to boilerplate.

  • FEATURE: Image Caption Plugin: caption now supports sanitize contenthandler & disable / enable of line breaks; Aloha.settings.contentHandler.handler: { sanitize: { '.aloha-captioned-image-caption': { elements: [ 'em', 'strong' ] } } }

    Aloha.settings.plugins: { captionedImage: { allowLinebreak: [ 'p' ], // ['br', 'p'], true or false (default) } }

  • BUGFIX: In the sidebar the panel entry for the format plugin was always shown; now when the formatOptions is empty the empty (useless) sidebar panel will be hidden.

  • BUGFIX: Align Plugin button status was not shown correctly.

0.21.x

0.21.4 - 2012/09/03

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added labels to the image-plugin url, title, width, height input fields

    This change also rearranges the order of image-plugin components in the toolbar.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed the ContentHandlerManager to use the content handlers in the correct order.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed clicking custom block handles activates the image plugin

0.21.3 - 2012/08/24

  • ENHANCEMENT: An error was turned into a warning

    The error message "encountered range object without start or end container" was incorrectly logged as an error instead of a warning.

  • ENHANCEMENT: repository-browser: The repository browser will now automatically increase its height.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added a new block implementation of Aloha Editor blocks, which doesn't render any tag fill icons or borders. This is useful for tags that should be editable with Aloha Editor.

      		   To use this block type, just wrap your tag content in a <div> 
  		   with the following attribute: 

  		   data-aloha-block-type="EmptyBlock"

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added jQuery method mahaloBlock() to "unblock" the elements from a jQuery collection. Added method .unblock() for Blocks to "unblock" a block instance (in both cases without removing the DOM element from the DOM).

  • BUGFIX: The sidebar didn't always update the height of panels correctly.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed JS error in Aloha.unbind()

  • BUGFIX: Fixed adding of unwanted 'S before tables every time an editable was deactivated when the table plugin and block plugin was used.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed selecting with keyboard or mouse in editables that are nested in blocks, when using the Internet Explorer.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed block draghandles are sometimes missing

0.21.2 - 2012/08/16

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Updated impress.js to work with jQuery UI

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Updated demo-app to work with jQuery UI; added simple system test to check file permissions;

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Updated the guides for the contenthandler configuration;

  • MANUAL CHANGE: removed not needed demo/test.html (was for testing per editable config)

  • ENHANCEMENT: link-plugin: Removed unwanted margins from the sidebar panel of the link attribute.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Addition to the API Aloha.Editable.setContentSerializer() was added to the API. Aloha.Editable.getContentSerializer() was implemented and added to the API.

  • ENHANCEMENT: pubsub/repository-browser: Upgrades the PubSub, and RepositoryBrowser dependencies.

  • BUGFIX: Editable.getContents(true) doesn't make defensive copies. Invoking Editable.getContents(true) multiple times in a row would return the same object, causing unexpected behaviour when client code modified that object.

  • BUGFIX: building/undo-plugin: The undo plugin was removed from the list of plugins that are included in the build process because it caused some silent javascript errors with content in frameset environments.

  • BUGFIX: image-plugin: The reset image button function was fixed. Previously a javascript error occured when the button was pressed.

  • BUGFIX: wai-lang-plugin: Language annotations were not enhanced. The short name ('de') of language annotations was displayed instead of of the full name from the repository ('German').

  • BUGFIX: block-plugin: Selection was lost when using the cursor keys to move across inline blocks.

  • BUGFIX: block-plugin: Fixes problem in how droppable containers were being determined while drapping blocks. The algorithm was miss-identifing any container that had a
    tags with the "aloha-end-br" class as an "empty" container, even if it contained other content along with the propping
    . We now use a stricter check to remove this false positive.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed block formatting (p, h1, ...)

    To reproduce the error

    • insert two paragraphs into an editable

    " Paragraph1 Paragraph2 "

    • select both paragraphs and format them as h2
    • click into the second paragraph and format as h3

    The result before this fix would have been that in the last step both paragraphs were formatted as h3.

  • BUGFIX: core: We now also remove jquery* attributes before the content is saved.

  • BUGFIX: core: We now log a warning to the console if repositories run into timeouts.

  • BUGFIX: wai-lang: We now load the language dataset in the query method. This fixes the issue that if the first request went wrong it was never loaded again.

  • BUGFIX: sidebar: The sidebar now remembers the current selection and refreshes itself when it is being opened.

  • BUGFIX: wordcontenthandler: Fixed the pasting of tables with empty cells.

  • BUGFIX: wordcontenthandler: Fixed the pasting of lists in chrome and IE9.

  • BUGFIX: In the sidebar the panel entry for the format plugin was always shown; now when the formatOptions is empty the empty (useless) sidebar panel will be hidden

0.21.1 - 2012/08/06

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The API Method setActiveButton() of the MultiSplit component changed: the parameter must be the name of the button to set active, not the index.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Changed the aloha-smart-content-changed event

    The snapshotContent property provided bythe aloha-smart-content-changed event was replaced with the getSnapshotContent property which is a function that must be called to retrieve the value that was provided by snapshotContent.

    This was done to make snapshotting of the editable contents optional, since it is a very expensive operation.

  • FEATURE: Toolbar configurability was extended

    The now Aloha.toolbar.settings.tab[i].exclusive property was implemented. See the ui guide for more information.

  • FEATURE: UiPlugin API addition

    UiPlugin.showToolbar() was added to the UiPlugin API. This function provides better control over when the toolbar is shown.

  • FEATURE: Aloha Blocks dropzones and configuration

    Aloha Blocks now allow for additional configuration settings which allow you to disable the drag'n'drop functionality of blocks globally or for individual editables as well as defining custom dropzones for each editable. See http://www.aloha-editor.org/guides/plugin_block.html#en-disabling-drag-drop-for-blocks for details.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Aloha Editor will now add the browser version to the html dom node (see http://www.aloha-editor.org/guides/core.html#initialization-process)

  • BUGFIX: A debugger statement was removed.

  • BUGFIX: Missing implementations to show and hide items in a multisplit button have been added.

  • ENHANCEMENT: numerated-headers-plugin: Added a &nbsp to the annotation, to seperate it from the heading's text.

  • ENHANCEMENT: table-plugin: We now show the summary textarea in the sidebar if a click on the wai-image was issued.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed IE7 mode paragraph margin

    The problem is that with a DOM like the following:

    <style>p { margin-top: 2em; }</style>
<p><br class='aloha-end-br'/></p>
<p></p>

    The margin between the paragraphs will not take effect because IE8 in compatibility mode considers the paragraph with the <br> in it empty. Normal IE8 will render the margin.

    To make IE8 in compatibility mode render the margin, some content must be put into the <p>. That is not a big problem, since there usually should be no reason to have empty paragraphs in your content.

    However, if the content is entered by hand (if it is not there to begin with) then the margin will not be immediately updated. Only when, after entering some content into the first paragraph, the selection is put into the second paragraph, will the margin be updated.

    Although I don't see an easy workaround for the first problem (that the margin is not displayed when the paragraph is empty) there is an easy workaround for the second problem (that the margin isn't updated even after some content has been entered). The workaround is simply, when some content is entered, to insert and remove an arbitrary DOM node into the second paragraph, which will force IE to re-render the paragraph.

    Problem was verified to exist on IE7 and IE8 in compatibility mode with IE7 document type. May also exist in other IE7 modes.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed some random and weird selection problems in IE7, where some actions (like Enter behaviour) were not performed on the correct cursor position. Sometimes there also occurred some JS errors.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed Transforming an empty contenteditable into a list, which caused the contenteditable container to disappear.

  • BUGFIX: Loading errors that occured when a second jQuery was loaded below aloha.js were fixed.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed the qUnit tests for following commands to work in IE 7/8/9, latest Firefox and Chrome.

    • Bold
    • Italic
    • Subscript
    • Superscript
    • CreateLink
    • Unlink
    • Underline
    • Strikethrough
    • FormatBlock
    • RemoveFormat
    • Indent
    • Outdent
    • InsertOrderedList
    • InsertUnorderedList

0.21.0 - 2012/07/26

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Most plugins don't load their css files through require any more

    Before this change, plugins loaded the necessary css automatically. Now, it is necessary to include aloha/css/aloha.css to get the css that is necessary to make plugins work.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The jquery requirejs dependency was renamed from aloha/jquery to just jquery.

    define(['aloha/jquery', function($) { });

    must be changed to

    define(['jquery', function($) { });

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The following jQuery extensions were removed

    jQuery.isBoolean - Instead consider typeof x === 'boolean'. jQuery.isEmpty

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The default jQuery version distributed with Aloha was updated from 1.6.1 to 1.7.2.

    The jQuery.isNumeric extension added to jQuery by Aloha was removed to account for jQuery's own isNumeric function added in 1.7.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The browser plugin was removed

    The browser plugin is obsolete. Please see linkbrowser and imagebrowser plugins.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Added the ui-plugin and removed ui specific code from the Aloha core

    Due to a complete re-implementation of the Aloha user interface in the form of the ui-plugin, most of the ui specific Aloha API has changed.

    • FloatingMenu - removed

    • Aloha.ui - removed

      Affects Aloha.ui.AttributeField Aloha.ui.Button Aloha.ui.MultiSplitButton Aloha.isMessageVisible Aloha.hideMessage Aloha.ui.MultiSplitButton.idCounter Aloha.showMessage Aloha.i18n Plugin.i18n (has been deprecated for some time now)

    • Aloha.Message - removed

    • Aloha.settings.plugins.table.summaryinsidebar - meaning changed

      This setting decided whether the summary was displayed either in the side bar or in the floating-menu. This setting now only decides whether or not a summary is displayed in the sidebar.

      The table-plugin defines a component with the name tableSummary. It is up to the toolbar configuration whether or not this component is displayed in the toolbar.

    • image-plugin - the following settings are obsolete

      Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.oneTab Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.insert Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.meta Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.reset Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.align Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.margin Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.crop Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.resize Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.aspectRatioToggle

      It is now up to the toolbar configuration whether or not and how to display these components.

    • Selection.isFloatingMenuVisible - removed

    All settings associated with the removed components do not have any effect any more.

    Most Aloha css rules have been re-implemented.

    In particular, the Aloha block handles now have z-index 10000, the floating menu has 10100, and Aloha dialogs have 10200. The sidebar continues to have a z-index of 999999999.

    The new common/ui plugin is now required for the user interface to be shown. This plugin is not loaded automatically. Most plugins require a user interface and will fail to load if this plugin is not configured to be loaded.

    The requirejs plugins order! and jquery-plugin! have been removed.

    Many plugins exposed buttons, attribute-field and multi-split-button components as non-private members. For example, as in the case of the cite plugin, buttons were pushed onto the exposed multi-split-button of the Format plugin. Most of these exposed components were removed.

    The removal of the Ext.* namespace and the ExtJs css may inadvertently affect the behaviour and display of any site that includes Aloha.

    In particular the trim() function on the String object was provided by ExtJs for older versions of IE. Since ExtJs is gone, calling this function will now probably cause errors on older versions of IE. jQuery.trim() may be used as an alternative.

    See the ui.html guide for more information about the new UI.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Several files have been removed

    • src/lib/aloha/ext-alohatreeloader.js
    • src/lib/aloha/ui-browser.js
    • src/lib/aloha/ecma5.js

    These files are not in use by any of the main Aloha plugins and as such are deemed obsolete. These files were never loaded and their removal should not have any side-effect.

    Custom plugins should be checked for a possible dependency on these files.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: baseUrl and data-aloha-plugins attribute detection changed slightly

    This change can be ignored if aloha.js is loaded in a page where only a single script element refers to a file with this name and if this script include is also the one carrying the data-aloha-plugins attribute, and no other script include is carrying this attribute - this should normally be the case. If this is not the case, aloha may not load correctly due to this change.

    The exact rules are now as follows:

    If Aloha.settings.baseUrl is not specified, it will be taken from the first script element that has a data-aloha-plugins attribute, or, if there is no such script element, the first script element of which the src attribute matches //aloha.js$/.

    If Aloha.settings.plugins.load is not specified, it will be taken from the data-aloha-plugins attribute of the first script element carrying this attribute.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The Aloha.requirePaths property has been removed.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The jquery.store and jquery.json plugins have been removed

    The jquery.store plugin was used for persisting the floating menu position and pinned state. The functionality provided by jquery.store has been replaced with amplify.store.

    The jquery.json plugin has been removed since the functionality provided by this module is already provided by util/json2.

    This also fixes the problem that pinning the floating menu was not persisted in IE8 and below.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: requirejs is not loaded as part of Aloha-Editor

    For aloha development the user must now load requirejs himself before loading aloha.js.

    When using a built version of Aloha, it's possible to choose between aloha-bare.js, which doesn't include requirejs (or jQuery), and aloha-full.js, which does include requirejs (and jQuery).

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Properties exposed by Aloha.Selection or aloha/selection were changed

    • tagHierarchy
    • replacingElements
    • allowedToStealElements

    These properties are now maps of maps instead of maps of lists.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Aloha.define was removed as it didn't serve any purpose

  • MANUAL CHANGE: The jQuery loaded by Aloha no longer performs a call to $.noConflict.

    The combined and minified aloha-full.js will contain the call to $.noConflict to preserve behaviour with earlier Aloha builds

    The combined and minified aloha-bare.js, or the unminified and uncombined form used during development, will not contain the call to $.noConflict.

    Aloha now loads jQuery asynchronously, unless the user passes in a jQuery instance himself. It is difficult to predictably call $.noConflict after loading jquery asynchronously - the global jQuery and $ variables may or may not be set to the jQuery loaded by Aloha for some time after loading has finished, resulting in possibly unpredictable behaviour if multiple jQuery instances are used.

    It is up to the user to load jQuery, call noConflict himself, and pass jQuery into Aloha via Aloha.settings.predefinedModules or Aloha.settings.jQuery.

  • MANUAL CHANGE: HotKey for inserting links is changed back to ctrl+k like documented here: https://github.com/alohaeditor/Aloha-Editor/blob/dev/doc/guides/source/core_hotkey.textile

  • FEATURE: Added hotkey functionality.

  • FEATURE: Added Aloha.settings.plugins.load to load plugins also via config

  • FEATURE: plugin extra/proxy: as multiple plugins need a proxy script to access external resources there's now one for all to use

  • FEATURE: The images browser plugin was added.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Wrapping some Aloha.require calls in Aloha.ready calls is not necessary any more

    In some cases, wrapping an Aloha.require call in an Aloha.ready call is not necessary any more. There are some exceptions, because the module itself may assume that Aloha is ready before its API is used.

    At the time of this writing this affects most plugins, since most plugins are initialized when Aloha is ready. So, calling Aloha.require with the plugin as a dependency will work, but the API will likely not be initialized resulting in unpredictable behavior.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Updated naming from Aloha to Aloha Editor in boilerplate demo.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Aloha specific css rules that are not in use any more were removed:

    .aloha-editable-zerowidthfix .aloha-logo .aloha-maximize

  • ENHANCEMENT: It's now possible to deactivate the transformFormattings method in the genericcontenthandler with the following setting:

    Aloha.settings.contentHandler.handler.generic.transformFormattings = false

    By default the transformFormattings method is enabled.

  • ENHANCEMENT: The vie plugin was removed

  • ENHANCEMENT: block plugin: It is now possible to navigate with arrow keys when there are blocks.

  • ENHANCEMENT: block plugin: Aloha Block Plugin has now been greatly cleaned up and improved. Besides greatly cleaned up API and documentation, the new features include Drag/Drop, Deletion and Copy/Paste support. Now fully cross-browser (IE7, IE8, IE9, Chrome, Firefox).

  • ENHANCEMENT: core: The jquery-plugin require plugin will now be able to return loaded plugins. Previously loaded plugins were just accessible through the extended jquery object.

  • ENHANCEMENT: image plugin: splitting main fat file (1500 lines) for easying maintenance and evolutions. The new file which contains the gui is called 'image-floatingMenu.js'. The all sources of the image plugin were jslinted.

  • ENHANCEMENT: image plugin: abstracting ui calls and removing FloatingMenu dependency from main plugin file

  • ENHANCEMENT: image plugin: new method getImgFocus used in place of findImgMarkup which is pointless now

  • ENHANCEMENT: core: #448 Aloha Editor possibility to be loaded as requireJS module

  • ENHANCEMENT: browser: commenting some methods and coding guidelines

  • BUGFIX: abbr-plugin: Fixed a javascript error when Aloha.activeEditable.obj / Aloha.activeEditable was not defined

  • BUGFIX: fixing placeholder bug where it appears twice in some cases

  • BUGFIX: commands.delete: fixed a bug with the delete command when contents are preceded by ignorable whitespace. also added a delete test for that.

  • BUGFIX: image plugin: building a selection from scratch when an image is clicked isn't safe as conflictual browser behaviours

  • BUGFIX: image plugin: containing editable not selectable after image plugin activation.

  • BUGFIX: image plugin: when plugin activated on an image, clicking a second image don't disable resize on first one.

  • BUGFIX: image plugin: fixing focus and value of srcField when image is clicked (previously handled by selectionChange)

  • BUGFIX: fixes alohaeditor/Aloha-Editor##424 -- SmartContentChanged is not triggered when hitting

  • BUGFIX: browser: fixes alohaeditor#415 -- Repositorie entries appears twice in explorer

  • BUGFIX: browser: fixes alohaeditor#460 -- Error when multiple repositories are configured

  • BUGFIX: block sidebar attribute editor: when using backspace/del in an input field the block was removed

  • BUGFIX: cite-plugin: Fixed a javascript error when the cite plugin had no explicit sidebar configuration.

  • DISCUSS: It would make sense to support also input (like textarea) elements eg. for basic formattings like strong / em -- but prevent insertation of br / p ?

  • BUGFIX: headerids-plugin: Fixed a bug in the headerids plugin that the ids were not generated when the getContents was called.

  • BUGFIX: numerated-headers-plugin: Fixed a bug in the numerated-headers plugin, that the selection was not properly updated when the annotations were removed.

  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed that sanitizing was not executed for IE7 because of an error with modifying style attributes in IE7. We now execute sanitizing, but ignore style attributes.

  • BUGFIX: core: Added the removal of sizzle attributes to the basic content handler.

  • BUGFIX: core: We now catch an exception that is thrown when the selection is not properly updated. This exception would lead to unexpected behaviour.

  • BUGFIX: core&numerated-headers-plugin: Fixed that sometimes DOM INDEX EXCEPTIONS occured when formating a list of paragraphs.

0.20.x

0.20.24 - 2012/09/26

  • FEATURE: metaview: We now also display HR tags in the metaview. We also removed the dependency to the flag-icons plugin.
  • FEATURE: list-plugin: When transforming a list from ul to ol or back all sub elements that are selected are also transformed.
  • FEATURE: core: Added method Aloha.getEditableHost() to get the editable, that contains the given jQuery object.
  • FEATURE: repository browser: If one of the repositories runs into a timeout during query, the browser will now call the method handleTimeout().
  • BUGFIX: characterpicker-plugin: Fixed a bug that when inserting a special character using the character picker plugin, the focus would be sometimes set to the start of the active editable (e.g. when inserting into a table cell).
  • BUGFIX: listenforcer-plugin: Fixed a bug that would only mark the first editable matching a configured selector as an enforced editable. Also when leaving an editable, we now remove the added list properly.
  • BUGFIX: floatingmenu: Fixed a bug in the floating menu that the position would not be adjusted if the height of the floating menu changed. This is needed in the topalign mode to not hide parts of the editable.
  • BUGFIX: core: Sometimes when putting the cursor at the first position of an editable, the cursor would vanish or be put outside the editable. This has been fixed.
  • BUGFIX: abbr-plugin: A possible dereference error was fixed in the plugin.

0.20.23 - 2012/08/24

  • ENHANCEMENT: changed loading procedure of languages in wai lang plugin from AJAX to require.js
  • BUGFIX: resolved issue with opening the sidebar when clicking on table WAI button.

0.20.22 - 2012/08/16

  • ENHANCEMENT: link-plugin: Removed unwanted margins from the sidebar panel of the link attribute.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed block formatting (p, h1, ...)

    To reproduce the error

    • insert two paragraphs into an editable

    " Paragraph1 Paragraph2 "

    • select both paragraphs and format them as h2
    • click into the second paragraph and format as h3

    The result before this fix would have been that in the last step both paragraphs were formatted as h3.

  • BUGFIX: core: We now also remove jquery* attributes before the content is saved.

  • BUGFIX: core: We now log a warning to the console if repositories run into timeouts.

  • BUGFIX: wai-lang: We now load the language dataset in the query method. This fixes the issue that if the first request went wrong it was never loaded again.

  • BUGFIX: sidebar: The sidebar now remembers the current selection and refreshes itself when it is being opened.

  • BUGFIX: wordcontenthandler: Fixed the pasting of tables with empty cells.

  • BUGFIX: wordcontenthandler: Fixed the pasting of lists in chrome and IE9.

0.20.21 - 2012/08/06

  • MANUAL CHANGE: Changed the aloha-smart-content-changed event

    The snapshotContent property provided bythe aloha-smart-content-changed event was replaced with the getSnapshotContent property which is a function that must be called to retrieve the value that was provided by snapshotContent.

    This was done to make snapshotting of the editable contents optional, since it is a very expensive operation.

  • ENHANCEMENT: numerated-headers-plugin: Added a &nbsp to the annotation, to seperate it from the heading's text.

  • ENHANCEMENT: table-plugin: We now show the summary textarea in the sidebar if a click on the wai-image was issued.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed IE7 mode paragraph margin

    The problem is that with a DOM like the following:

    <style>p { margin-top: 2em; }</style>
<p><br class='aloha-end-br'/></p>
<p></p>

    The margin between the paragraphs will not take effect because IE8 in compatibility mode considers the paragraph with the <br> in it empty. Normal IE8 will render the margin.

    To make IE8 in compatibility mode render the margin, some content must be put into the <p>. That is not a big problem, since there usually should be no reason to have empty paragraphs in your content.

    However, if the content is entered by hand (if it is not there to begin with) then the margin will not be immediately updated. Only when, after entering some content into the first paragraph, the selection is put into the second paragraph, will the margin be updated.

    Although I don't see an easy workaround for the first problem (that the margin is not displayed when the paragraph is empty) there is an easy workaround for the second problem (that the margin isn't updated even after some content has been entered). The workaround is simply, when some content is entered, to insert and remove an arbitrary DOM node into the second paragraph, which will force IE to re-render the paragraph.

    Problem was verified to exist on IE7 and IE8 in compatibility mode with IE7 document type. May also exist in other IE7 modes.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed some random and weird selection problems in IE7, where some actions (like Enter behaviour) were not performed on the correct cursor position. Sometimes there also occurred some JS errors.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed Transforming an empty contenteditable into a list, which caused the contenteditable container to disappear.

  • BUGFIX: headerids-plugin: Fixed a bug in the headerids plugin that the ids were not generated when the getContents was called.

  • BUGFIX: numerated-headers-plugin: Fixed a bug in the numerated-headers plugin, that the selection was not properly updated when the annotations were removed.

  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed that sanitizing was not executed for IE7 because of an error with modifying style attributes in IE7. We now execute sanitizing, but ignore style attributes.

  • BUGFIX: core: Added the removal of sizzle attributes to the basic content handler.

  • BUGFIX: core: We now catch an exception that is thrown when the selection is not properly updated. This exception would lead to unexpected behaviour.

  • BUGFIX: core&numerated-headers-plugin: Fixed that sometimes DOM INDEX EXCEPTIONS occured when formating a list of paragraphs.

0.20.20 - 2012/07/25

  • BUGFIX: core: An Internet Explorer 7 crash fix was fixed. Previously the fix caused the whole content to be selected for a short period of time when appling inline format elements.
  • BUGFIX: core: An issue that resize handles were displayed on inline elements that contained a new lines in IE7/8 was fixed.

0.20.19 - 2012/07/25

  • BUGFIX: cite-plugin: Removal of a cite specific data attribute caused a crash in Native Internet Explorer 7. The removal will now be skipped for Native Internet Explorer 7.

0.20.18 - 2012/07/25

  • ENHANCEMENT: cite-plugin: Fixed cite plugin DOM element attributes. It is not needed to add attributes to blockquote and q tags unless you have defined a referencecontainer.
  • ENHANCEMENT: contenthandler: Modified contenthandlers to allow language annotations made by the wai-lang plugin. This enables copy & paste of language annotations.
  • ENHANCEMENT: list-plugin: Some internet explorer specific attributes (hidefocus, tabindex) will now be removed on makeClean.
  • ENHANCEMENT: wai-lang-plugin: The plugin now supports both ISO-639-1 (two letter) and ISO-639-2 (three letter) language codes. The languages can be searched in english or german (depending on the user's locale). Additionally, it is now possible to switch on/off the display of country flags when searching for language codes.
  • BUGFIX: format-plugin: removeFormat for quote and others (#577); enabled the useage of the u element (#580)
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed copying of attributes when transforming DOM objects into other DOM objects (e.g. when transforming a list into a paragraph), which caused strange attributes to be written in IE, that caused editing problems (e.g. could not set cursor into paragraph, etc.)
  • BUGFIX: core: A basic content handler was added to the core that will cleanup the dom and html that gets processed by the getContents method. Currently this basic contenthandler is used to remove attributes (tabindex, hidefocus, contenteditable) that were added when using the Internet Explorer.
  • BUGFIX: repository-browser: Some images for the repository browser were changed because Internet Explorer 7+8 don't know how to handle alpha in PNGs.
  • BUGFIX: repository-browser: Columns that are not sortable will now no longer be displayed like they were sortable.
  • BUGFIX: formatlesspaste-plugin: Fixed javascript error that ocurred when no custom editable configuration was set
  • BUGFIX: dom-to-xhtml-plugin: When used in IE7 (or IE8 in IE7 mode), classes of elements were removed. This lead to unexpected behaviour with the BR-tags with class aloha-end-br, that are automatically added, when using the blockelementcontenthandler.
  • BUGFIX: characterpicker-plugin: Fixed inserting a special character with a collapsed selection, when using IE.
  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: Enabled proper selection (with mouse or keys) in the editable caption of a table.
  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: When the contents of a table cell gains the focus, the whole cell is no longer selected. This also affects applying format to contents of a table cell.
  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: New Captions are now added as first child of the table (before the tbody), according to the HTML5 specification.
  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: The table plugin will now remove table id's on cleanup.
  • BUGFIX: table-plugin: Fixed the removal of the aloha-table-cell_active once a table gets deactivated.
  • BUGFIX: numerated-headers-plugin: Fixed error that annotations would not be removed when converting a header to a paragraph. The plugin also added leading spaces to the heading's text. This was removed.
  • BUGFIX: linkbrowser-plugin/numerated-headers-plugin: A bug in the numerated headers plugin caused a javascript error when the linkbrowser window should be closed. This bug was fixed and the linkbrowser window closes now propely.
  • BUGFIX: wai-lang-plugin: We now remove data attributes generated by the repository on makeClean and we add an xml:lang attribute with the value of the lang attribute.
  • BUGFIX: wai-lang-plugin: The key combination ctrl+i caused a javascript error in IE8 when using the wai-lang-plugin together with the link plugin. This javascript error was now fixed.
  • BUGFIX: metaview-plugin: Modified CSS for language annotations to always show a generic icon for language annotated spans.
  • BUGFIX: metaview-plugin: language annotations would result in background images being repeated over and over again - fixed that problem.
  • BUGFIX: cite-plugin: Fixed editing of saved citation links.
  • BUGFIX: cite-plugin: The css animations for the cite plugin were removed because they were poluting the dom with style attributes.
  • BUGFIX: Fixed trailing comma in array literal.

0.20.17 - 2012/07/09

  • ENHANCEMENT: contenthandler plugin: A new Blockelement Content Handler has been added, that handles breaks in blockelements upon initialization and getContents
  • ENHANCEMENT: draganddropfiles: A security issue with the upload.php example file was found. The example will no longer be executable by default.
  • BUGFIX: core: The implementation for adding br-Tags in Blockelements has been fixed to realize a more consistent behaviour across all browsers and also with the metaview plugin turned on.

0.20.16 - 2012/07/04

  • ENHANCEMENT: numerated-headers plugin: Added configuration option 'trailingdot' to switch format of generated headers.
  • BUGFIX: numerated-headers plugin: Fixed misleading interpretation of the 'numeratedactive' for configuration per editable. 'numeratedactive' will now only determine, whether headers shall be numerated by default (if button not unclicked by the editor). To disable the function for an editable, choose an empty 'headingselector'.
  • BUGFIX: numerated-headers plugin: Fixed numeration, when the headers are not starting with the highest level (e.g. when using h2 h1 h2 h3, the first h2 will be omitted and numeration will start at the h1)
  • BUGFIX: core: fixed missing space when selecting a word between two spaces and deleting (by [DEL] or [BACKSPACE]). The result will now be like expected: having the cursor between two spaces.
  • BUGFIX: characterpicker-plugin: Fixed inserting characters with a non-collapsed selection. Instead of adding the character after the selection, the inserted character will now replace the selection (like expected).
  • BUGFIX: paste-plugin: Disabled handling paste on IE by executing the command 'paste', because this causes incorrect cursor positions after pasting.
  • BUGFIX: paste-plugin: Fixed setting focus and selection into the editable before inserting pasted html. That fixes strange behaviour in FF after pasting.

0.20.15 - 2012/06/27

  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed browser crashes in IE9 (and above), after splitting DOM nodes using ENTER and placing the cursor afterwards, that occurred due to a browser bug in IE9

0.20.14 - 2012/06/27

  • ENHANCEMENT: A whole lot of Plugins can now be configured editable-specific configuration: abbr, highlighteditables, list, horizontalruler, link, paste, headerids, listenforcer, metaview, numerated-headers, wai-lang, cite, characterpicker, formatlesspaste, dom-to-xhtml. Have a look at the individual plugin guides for detailed information on how to configure them.

  • ENHANCEMENT: plugin formatlesspaste: will now be more tolerant with the button and formatlessPasteOption setting and not only accept boolean values
  • ENHANCEMENT: plugin cite: will now be more tolerant with the sidebar.open setting and not only accept boolean values. Additionally, the default config will now show both the quote and blockquote button.
  • BUGFIX: core: When using the delete button in IE7, so that after deleting the cursor is supposed to be in between two spaces, some unexpected text "undefined" was added to the editable. This has been fixed now.
  • BUGFIX: metaview: Fixed bug that caused a javascript error when no configuration was provided for the metaview plugin.
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed a bug within jquery that caused problems in IE9 when invoking getContents for an editable that contains an embedded object (e.g. flash player).
  • BUGFIX: FloatingMenu: in IE the FloatingMenu would not be clickable after deleting a table row because of a transparent .ext-shim iframe layered on top of it. Forcefully removed the iframe from the layout.
  • BUGFIX: FloatingMenu: in IE the FloatingMenu would not be clickable after deleting a table row because of a transparent .ext-shim iframe layered on top of it. Forcefully removed the iframe from the layout.
  • BUGFIX: repositorymanager: Fixed a bug in the repository manager that caused an javascript error when no result items were passed to the processResults method.
  • BUGFIX: generic contenthandler: Do not trim text nodes in list elements, because this could remove spaces between words, where one word is formatted.
  • BUGFIX: plugin format: The format plugin will now support 'del' instead of 's' for strikethrough ('s' is deprecated), like explained in the documentation.
  • BUGFIX: plugin metaview: Metaview plugin would add a grey backdrop to lists on IE7. Added more specific styles.
  • BUGFIX: core: Implemented deleting tables with "delete" or "forwarddelete" commands (pressing [DEl] or [BACKSPACE]).
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed strange cursor behaviour when using [BACKSPACE] to delete the first character in a text node, using IE9.
  • BUGFIX: enumerated-headers plugin: Added default configuration, which fixes some javascript error, if no other configuration is set.
  • BUGFIX: wai-lang plugin: Fixed toggle button to be pressed when a language is set, and unpressed if not. Hide language tab, when language is removed.

0.20.13 - 2012/06/15

  • ENHANCEMENT: Removed unwanted behaviour from the block plugin's sidebarattributeedtior, which will clear out the whole sidebar when loaded
  • ENHANCEMENT: added / updated guides for plugins
  • ENHANCEMENT: enabled linklist.js so it's possible to use the settings for your own list (removed the default entries)
  • ENHANCEMENT: table plugin: enabled format tab when a whole row/column is selected via click on the row/column header
  • ENHANCEMENT: sanitize contenthandler: allow attribute target for the a element in the relaxed config
  • ENHANCEMENT: plugin highlighteditables: configurable per editable; CSS can be adapted;
  • ENHANCEMENT: added a new helper function jQuery.isEmpty() to check if a mixed var is empty or not
  • ENHANCEMENT: A whole lot of Plugins can now be configured editable-specific configuration: abbr, highlighteditables, list, horizontalruler, link, paste, headerids, listenforcer, metaview, numerated-headers, wai-lang, cite, characterpicker, formatlesspaste, dom-to-xhtml. Have a look at the individual plugin guides for detailed information on how to configure them.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Added functional description for plugins
  • ENHANCEMENT: core: The getEditableConfig will now also return the selector within the configuration object. This only applies to custom editable configurations that provide objects instead of arrays since arrays can't be extended with custom properties. The returned object will now also contain nested arrays. Previously nested arrays were omitted.
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed the fix for IE7 crashes
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed Javascript errors that occurred in IE7 when pressing Enter at the end of paragraphs (multiple times).
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed possible Javascript error when cleanup operation is done (e.g. after pasting text into an editable).
  • BUGFIX: commands: Fixed possible browser hang (due to an infinite loop) that occurred, when using the command 'inserthtml' to insert content into an editable span, that is not allowed inside a span (e.g. a h1). This browser hang could occur when using the paste plugin to paste content, since that uses the command 'inserthtml'.
  • BUGFIX: generic contenthandler: Changed to always remove div, span and font tags, regardless of the setting of the contentEditable attribute. This fixes problems, when e.g. having an editable span and then pressing [CTRL-A] [CTRL-C] [CTRL-V].
  • BUGFIX: commands: Fixed unwrapping of tags in fixDisallowedAncestors, which possibly removed the editing host when pasting into spans, h1, ...
  • BUGFIX: sanitize contenthandler: disabled for IE7, because it does not work well in IE7 (sanitize tries to set attributes via setAttributeNode() to DOM Elements, and this does not work for the "style" attribute in IE7)
  • BUGFIX: commands: fixed weird behaviour when using the backspace key to delete text (cursor was jumping).
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixed enter behaviour in lists. Before executing command "insertparagraph", whitespace textnodes around list elements are removed, because the algorithm isn't prepared to handle whitespace textnodes.
  • BUGFIX: citation plugin: Fixed javascript errors on initialization and possible endless loop when adding inline citations.

0.20.12 - 2012/05/24

  • MANUAL CHANGE: wai-lang: The wai lang plugin will now fail loading when the flag-icons plugin was not loaded. Previously the plugin did not fail loading but showed broken flag icon images. Please note that it is currently mandatory to add third party dependencies for some plugins to the data-aloha-plugins attribute otherwise those dependencies can't be resolved correctly.
  • BUGFIX: browser-plugin: The browser will now open at a more centered position.
  • BUGFIX: core: A IE7 crash workaround was reverted because it caused all eventhandlers to be lost when getContents() was invoked. The new workaround will remove the jquery expando attributes in IE7 for some elements.
  • BUGFIX: core: Fixes bugs in the handeling of delete and forward delete. These bugs were introduced in an attempt to fix issues with deleting behaviour near multiple white spaces. An alernative should be sought for a better solution for handeling white spaces.

0.20.11 - 2012/05/10

  • BUGFIX image plugin: fixes distorted images when in portrait format
  • BUGFIX table plugin: fixes bug in IE7 that second click on table cell was not activating the table

				formatlessPasteOption : true,
				strippedElements : [
				"strong",

  • BUGFIX customizable numerated-header plugin: when header content is deleted, the numeration tag will be deleted, too

0.20.0-RC8 - 2011/11/22

  • ENHANCEMENT listenforcer-plugin: The listenforcer plugin was refactored. Method names were changed and the way the plugin works with lists was also changed. It will now no longer replace list dom elments. Instead it will move sibling lists into the first list element within the editable. Previously the whole element was replaced and thus the selection was lost. This caused problems with the floating menu. The user had to click two times into a list to make the floating menu appear since the selection was lost due to dom replacements. This is now fixed.
  • BUGFIX core: The aloha-editable-activated will now no longer invoked twice.
  • BUGFIX image-plugin: Fixed handling of width and height when the user entered the cropping mode. You can resize the crop area by entering values in the width and height field.

0.20.0-RC6 - 2011/11

  • BUGFIX link-plugin/linkbrowser-plugin: Previously the highlight css for a link was not removed after an item was selected by the linkbrowser. Now highlight css will be correctly removed and the cursor will be placed back into the content. Previously the selection was lost.
  • BUGFIX table-plugin: Fixed a bug that deactivated tables after 5 seconds. This issue was caused by a failure within the table registry. Instead of loading the cloned object the original table was loaded and deactivated.

0.20.0-RC5 - 2011/11

  • BUGFIX link-plugin: The link plugin will no longer remove repository data attributes from the link when the user clicks a link and leaves it imediately. Previously those repository data attributes where removed when the repository lookup was not finished on time (before the user left the link). For the user the repository link was transformed to a normal link. This is now fixed.

0.20.0-RC4 - 2011/11

  • BUGFIX FloatingMenu: The FloatingMenu will now check the Aloha.settings.floatingmenu.topalignOffset parameter to be not undefined, as checking for 'number' was too strict

  • core: Added new Method to FloatingMenu: activateTabOfButton(name) will activate the tab containing the button with given name (if tab is visible)

    • fixed handling of external links. Previously it was not possible to change a repository link to an external link.
    • initially clicking on an existing link before the link tab has been rendered would leave you with an empty href field. This is actually an ExtJS issue, which has been workarounded.

  • listenforcer-plugin: fixed a bug which would cause an error when activating or deactivating an editable

  • listenforcer-plugins: Fixed a possible jquery error within the listforcer plugin. Previously this plugin was not requiring aloha using require.js. This was now corrected.

  • Fixed: the genericcontenthandler caused problems when an editable was initialized

    The genericcontenthandler was enabled by default for the initialization of editables. The genericcontenthandler is too brutal and does more cleanups and conversions than one would normally want. The fix was to remove the genericcontenthandler from the default setting.

    In particular, the conversion from strong tags to b tags (and other tag conversions) is unwanted.

    An issue was created for a replacement of the genericcontenthandler for the initialization of editables: alohaeditor#348

  • FloatingMenu The FloatingMenu now accepts the Aloha.settings.floatingmenu.topalignOffset setting, which will define the vertical offset to the editable when the "topalign" behavior is used. The default value is 90px, so if you activate the FloatingMenu's topalign behaviour the FloatingMenu will hover 90px above the currently active editable. Switch it to any meaningful integer offset you prefer.

0.10.-0.19.0

The reason for not releasing this builds was the ongoing refactoring of the core engine to implement all functionallities based on execCommand. Non of these releases reached a production ready state. We still increased the release number due to the fact that we also tested the new release process with maven and archivia and it would brake dependencies if we wouldn't have increased the version number.
