Upcoming TinyMCE Release

February 24th, 2009 by Afraithe

TinyMCEWe are preparing for a new release of TinyMCE, the first release this year actually, it has been unusually long between these two, but we have a lot of stuff to do.

The new Sizzle engine as been worked into TinyMCE, it is the same engine that JQuery and other libraries use. Integration is complete, but we still have code we can optimize to reduce the overall size first of all. We are working with John Resig the creator of Sizzle, reporting some issues we have found.

Spocke also updated the build process to use an ANT based build process, built a java based preprocessor (available on Google Code) and yuicompressor ANT task, very fancy.

Replaced the old unit testing framework with Qunit and rewrote all tests to match the new logic, this has saved so much time its incredible.

Also added a Team tab to our website, so you can more easily see who is working with the project, if you are missing, send us an email and we will look into it.

    Great to hear!!

    Any chance Dojo Toolkit support will be in the near future?

  2. Spocke Says:

    Dojo support is not on the road map for the near future. However if someone in the community want to help us write an adapter for it we will help out as much as we can.

    Use TinyMCE in CMS FoxOven. The Good product.

  5. Spocke Says:

    Yes, there is some issues with the new WebKit. Some of them are browser bugs one is a spec change on their part that we have already resolved. The latest Nightly of WebKit works a lot better.

  9. Frame, Browser Support for new Version Says:

    Great product! Love to hear that you guys are always making it better. I have a couple of questions:

    1) In the new version, do you plan to support auto growing height (when user types height expands) and maybe a floating menu, or a menu in another frame. I pulled this with the current version but it required a lot of modifications.

    2) Also what browsers / Versions do you plan to support in the new version?

    Thanks, you guys are doing great work!

    This version has already been released as 3.2.2. It has now big new surface features, we mainly changed internal functions and surrounding tools. Regarding the toolbar, stay tuned we will show you something cool soon. :) And regarding browser support, we will continue to suppor A-grade browsers that means IE6, IE7, IE8, FF2, FF3, Safari 3, Safari 4, Chrome 1 and Opera 9.5+.
