Incoming updates
October 2nd, 2009 by 
Afraithe We thought we should share some info about some updates coming to TinyMCE.
The next TinyMCE release will probably be a slight jump in version numbers and have release candidates due to the massive code rewrite on certain parts. I won’t go into details regarding the changes, but it should mean even more flexibility, better performance, smaller codebase (not an easy achievement) and better sync in functionality between browsers. This update is still far away and there might be other updates in the meantime, but just so you know, we are hard at work with continually improving the editor!
On another note, we are looking into moving TinyMCE to Github, we haven’t quite decided it yet, still a lot to learn about Git, but it should mean that it gets easier for external developers to contribute code in the long run.
Also, some addition to the last post, After the Deadline spell checker is also available as a TinyMCE plugin, check their website! It is the best spell checker for TinyMCE hands down. We are looking into talking with Automattic about possibly including it in the base package of TinyMCE (get in touch guys!).

Great! Can’t wait until the next release!
October 2nd, 2009 at 21:04Is there a roadmap where we can see what you’ll give us?
That’s great news! All except for the Github part, that is. I’d rather you stay with Subversion, for what it’s worth. We use Subversion for our version control so it’s easy to integrate TinyMCE into our source tree with a svn:external property. I’d hate to lose this ability if you move to Github. Please stay with SVN!
October 3rd, 2009 at 01:44Richard, I think the overall benefit of moving to Github will be greater than just this SVN feature. Nothing is decided though, we are still evaluating.
@Nyro, nope, no roadmap, we wana keep some secrets
October 5th, 2009 at 15:46If there’s anything we can do over at GitHub to help you guys, let me know. I’ve personally used TinyMCE on a number of projects, so I’ve love to see it hosted with us.
October 5th, 2009 at 19:22Thanks Hyett, we are still testing and looking at Github, but we like what have seen so far. We will announce here if/when we will switch, and if we have any questions we will get in touch
Keep up the good work
