Changes:
- #12858:
Basic Spartan
browser compatibility. Full compatibility will be introduced later, because at the moment Spartan is still too
unstable to be used for tests and we see many changes from version to version.
- #12948:
The

the Mathematical Formulas plugin now.

between

the editable.insertElementIntoRange()
method directly for the pre 4.5 behavior of editable.insertElement().
- #12870:
Use
editor.showNotification()
instead of alert() directly whenever possible. When
the Notification plugin is loaded, the notification system is used
automatically. Otherwise, the native alert() is displayed.

of the Table Tools plugin to be more intuitive. Thanks
to kevinisagit!

are not loaded.

CKEditor 4.4
Important Notes:
- Marked
the
editor.beforePaste
event as deprecated.
- The default class of captioned images has changed to
image (was: caption). Please note that once edited in
CKEditor 4.4+, all existing images of the caption class (<figure class="caption">) will
be filtered out unless
the config.image2_captionedClass
option is set to caption. For backward compatibility (i.e. when upgrading), it is highly recommended to use this
setting, which also helps prevent CSS conflicts, etc. This does not apply to new CKEditor integrations.
- Widgets without defined buttons are no longer registered automatically to
the Advanced Content Filter.
Before CKEditor 4.4 widgets were registered to the ACF which was an incorrect
behavior (#11567). This change should not have any impact on standard
scenarios, but if your button does not execute the widget command, you need to
set
allowedContent
and requiredContent
properties for it manually, because the editor will not be able to find them.
- The Show Borders plugin was added to the Standard installation package
in order to ensure that unstyled tables are still visible for the
user (#11665).
- Since CKEditor 4.4 the editor instance should be passed
to
CKEDITOR.style methods to ensure full
compatibility with other features (e.g. applying styles to widgets requires that). We ensured backward compatibility
though, so the CKEDITOR.style will work even
when the editor instance is not provided.
New Features:
- #11297: Styles can now be applied to widgets. The definition of a style which
can be applied to a specific widget must contain two additional properties —
type and widget. Read more in
the Widget Styles section of the “
Syles Drop-down” guide. Note that by default, widgets support only classes and no other attributes or styles. Related
changes and features:
- Introduced
the
CKEDITOR.style.addCustomHandler()
method for registering custom style handlers.
- The
CKEDITOR.style.apply()
and CKEDITOR.style.remove()
methods are now called with an editor instance instead of the document so they can be reused by
the CKEDITOR.editor.applyStyle()
and CKEDITOR.editor.removeStyle()
methods. Backward compatibility was preserved, but from CKEditor 4.4 it is highly recommended to pass an editor
instead of a document to these methods.
- Many new methods and properties were introduced in
the Widget API to make the handling
of styles by widgets fully customizable.
See:
widget.definition.styleableElements
, widget.definition.styleToAllowedContentRule
, widget.addClass()
, widget.removeClass()
, widget.getClasses()
, widget.hasClass()
, widget.applyStyle()
, widget.removeStyle()
, widget.checkStyleActive()
.
- Integration with
the Allowed Content Filter
required an introduction of
the
CKEDITOR.style.toAllowedContent()
method which can be implemented by the custom style handler and if exists, it is used by
the CKEDITOR.filter to translate a style
to allowed content rules
.
- #11300: Various changes in
the Enhanced Image plugin:
- Introduced
the
config.image2_captionedClass
option to configure the class of captioned images.
- Introduced
the
config.image2_alignClasses
option to configure the way images are aligned with CSS classes.
If this setting is defined, the editor produces classes instead of inline styles for aligned images.
- Default image caption can be translated (customized) with the
editor.lang.image2.captionPlaceholder string.
- #11341: Enhanced Image plugin: It
is now possible to add a link to any image type.
- #10202: Introduced wildcard support in
the Allowed Content Rules format.
- #10276: Introduced blacklisting in
the Allowed Content Filter.
- #10480: Introduced code snippets with code highlighting. There are two
versions available so far — the default Code Snippet which uses
the highlight.js library and
the Code Snippet GeSHi which uses
the GeSHi library.
- #11737: Introduced an option to
prevent filtering of an element
that matches custom criteria (
see
filter.addElementCallback())
.
- #11532: Introduced
the
editor.addContentsCss()
method that can be used
for adding custom CSS files.
- #11536: Added
the
CKEDITOR.tools.htmlDecode()
method for decoding HTML entities.
- #11225: Introduced
the
CKEDITOR.tools.transparentImageData
property which contains transparent image data to be used in CSS or as image source.
Other Changes:
- #11377: Unified internal representation of empty anchors using
the fake objects.
- #11422: Removed Firefox 3.x, Internet Explorer 6 and Opera 12.x leftovers in
code.
- #5217: Setting data (including switching between modes) creates a new undo
snapshot. Besides that:
- The WebSpellChecker plugin was updated to the latest version.
Fixed Issues:
- #10190: Fixed: Removing block style
with
editor.removeStyle()
should result in a paragraph and not a div.
- #11727: Fixed: The editor tries to select a non-editable image which was
clicked.

CKEditor 4.3 Beta
New Features:
- #9764: Widget System.
- Widget plugin introducing
the Widget API.
- New
editor.enterMode
and editor.shiftEnterMode
properties – normalized versions
of config.enterMode
and config.shiftEnterMode
.
- Dynamic editor settings. Starting from CKEditor 4.3 Beta, Enter mode values
and content filter instances
may be changed dynamically (for example when the caret was placed in an element in which editor features should be
adjusted). When you are implementing a new editor feature, you should base its behavior
on dynamic
or static Enter mode
values depending on whether this feature works in selection context or globally on editor content.
- “Fake” selection was introduced. It makes it possible to virtually select any element when the real selection
remains hidden. See
the
selection.fake()
method.
- Default
htmlParser.filter
rules are not applied to non-editable elements (elements with contenteditable attribute set to false and their
descendants) anymore. To add a rule which will be applied to all elements you need to pass an additional argument
to
the filter.addRules()
method.

or create a custom build based on the Basic/Standard package and add the Indent Block plugin
in CKBuilder.
