Please Note

• Advanced API users: The addImageDialogComponent and addHyperlinkDialogComponent methods have been updated to accept a Class object directly instead of taking the class name as a String. The String variant is still available for backwards compatibility but have been deprecated. Please update any Advanced API code that uses these methods.
• The removeFontTags option has been removed, when enabled it applied excessive cleaning to the HTML and regularly caused unexpected problems. The configuration option will be ignored if it exists.

New Features

• Added ephoxPreloadJVM(downloadDirectory) JavaScript function to allow developers to kick-start the JVM to improve initial start up time.
• Added plug-in architecture to make advanced API code easier to share and install.
• Updated and improved the JavaDoc for the Swing SDK and advanced APIs.
• Support for border-collapse style on tables.
• A progress bar is provided when the user needs to wait for the spelling or thesaurus jars to download.
• Improved start up time by delaying the loading of toolbar and menu item icon resources.
• Improved Accessibility options for tables with the addition of the Headings property to the cell properties dialog, and improved working of the scope to better reflect the specification of this attribute.
• New setUsername() method on ELJBean to set the username for track changes.
• Added useFontColor attribute to the htmlFilter config element that applies text color with <font> tags instead of <span> tags.
• The WebDAV browser is now sortable.
• Added openExternalLinks attribute to wysiwygEditor config element, setting this to false will block the user from control-clicking on external hyperlinks.
• Added a configuration option to prevent comments and other custom tags being wrapped in p tags (htmlFilter wrapCustomTagsInP).
