v43.1.0 Latest
Latest

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v43.1.0.

Release highlights

This release includes important bug fixes and enhancements for the editor:

  • Block merge fields: In contrast to regular, inline merge fields, the block merge fields are designed to represent complex, block-level structures, such as a dynamically generated table, a row of products, or a personalized call-to-action segment. Block merge fields are supposed to be replaced by arbitrary HTML data when the document template is post-processed or exported to a PDF or Word file.

  • Nested dropdown menus: this release introduces a new UI component: nested dropdown menus. They can be used by feature developers to easily provide an advanced user interface where UI elements are organized into a nested menu structure.

  • Customizable accessible label: You can now configure the label for the accessible editable area through the editor settings, ensuring it fits your system’s needs.

  • Improved table and cell border controls: It is now easier to manage both table and cell borders. The table user interface now clearly indicates the default border settings, allowing you to set “no borders” (None) for tables and cells without any additional configuration.

    ⚠️ In some cases this update may lead to data changes in the tables’ HTML markup when the editor loads them. However, visually nothing will change, and the experience will be the same.

The full list of enhancements can be found below.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • Reverted config.sanitizeHtml. In v43.0.0 we made a decision to move config.htmlEmbed.sanitizeHtml to a top-level property config.sanitizeHtml. However, we realized that it was a wrong decision to expose such a sensitive property in a top-level configuration property. Starting with v43.1.0 you should again use config.htmlEmbed.sanitizeHtml and/or config.mergeFields.sanitizeHtml. The editor will throw an error if config.sanitizeHtml is used. See the migration guide for additional context behind this decision.
  • ai: The structure and presentation of the list of AI commands in the toolbar have changed (a flat filtered list is now a nested menu). Additionally, if your integration customizes this user interface, please ensure your integration code is up-to-date.
  • ui: The default [aria-label] provided by InlineEditableUIView is now 'Rich Text Editor. Editing area: [root name]' (previously: 'Editor editing area: [root name]'). You can use the options.label constructor property to adjust the label.

Features

  • comments: Added [data-author-id] to suggestion and comment markers in editing for easier integration and styling.
  • media-embed: Added support for new Twitter domain (x.com) and Instagram Reels. Closes #16435. (commit)
  • merge-fields: Introduced block merge fields. They are a new type of merge fields which are treated as block content in the editor editing area.
  • track-changes: Added [data-author-id] to suggestion and comment markers in editing for easier integration and styling.
  • ui: Introduced nested menu component for dropdowns. Closes #6399. (commit)
  • ui: Added support for the balloon toolbar in the multi-root editor. Closes #14803. (commit)
  • Allowed to configure the accessible editable area label via the config.label property. Closes #15208, #11863, #9731. (commit)

Bug fixes

  • cloud-services: The refreshing mechanism (from the Token class) should retry after a failure to limit the chance of the user getting disconnected and data loss in real-time collaboration. (commit)
  • comments: The TrackChangesData#getDataWithAcceptedSuggestions() method will no longer throw errors when there are suggestions containing multi-range comments in tables.
  • document-outline: Editor no longer crashes during initialization when the TableOfContents and ImageBlock plugins are enabled. Closes ckeditor/ckeditor5#16915.
  • editor-classic: The widget toolbar no longer covers editor's sticky toolbar when scrolling. Closes #15744. (commit)
  • editor-multi-root: The selection is no longer lost while clicking an editable containing only one block element. Closes #16806. (commit)
  • engine: Prevent from editor crashes when trying to style a long paragraph. Closes #16819. (commit)
  • html-support: The <hgroup> and <summary> elements should work with the source editing feature. Closes #16947. (commit)
  • list: A to-do list should preserve the state of the checked items on the data load. Closes #15602. (commit)
  • table: Changed default table and table cell properties to match the content styles. It fixes a problem with setting [border=none] on the table. Closes #6841. (commit)
  • table: Larger tables are no longer truncated in print mode. Closes #16856. (commit)
  • track-changes: The TrackChangesData#getDataWithAcceptedSuggestions() and TrackChangesData#getDataWithDiscardedSuggestions() methods will no longer throw errors when used in asynchronous load and save integration type.
  • ui: Nested menus in the menu bar and dropdowns should not get their panels focused when the main button is clicked. Closes #16857. (commit)
  • ui: Restored the ability to pin balloons to text nodes in the DOM tree. Closes #16958 #16889. (commit)
  • ui: The focus outline should remain visible upon closing a menu bar using the Esc key during keyboard navigation. Closes #16719. (commit)
  • ui: Balloon Editor toolbar no longer sticks out of the limiter element while scrolling. Closes #17002. (commit)

Other changes

  • ai: The AI Assistant pre-defined commands toolbar dropdown will now use a new nested menu component instead of the flat list component.

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v43.0.0.

Release highlights

Merge fields

The new merge fields feature is a game-changer for creating document templates and other kinds of personalized or dynamic content. Thanks to this feature, you can insert placeholders into your content, indicating where actual values should go. These places are marked in the final content in a distinctive way, making it easy to later process the template and fill it with the actual values. The feature supports a preview mode too - you can define preview data sets, and see how the content will look like when real values are used directly in the editor. The plugin is highly customizable to fit various applications and scenarios. Finally, merge fields are fully integrated with our Export to Word, Export to PDF, and Import from Word features, both when they are used from the editor and via REST API.

We are extremely happy to share with you this highly demanded feature, and we cannot wait to listen to your feedback!

Make sure to visit our builder or documentation to learn more about the feature.

Export to Word V2 as the default version

The V2 version of the export to Word feature introduced significant improvements, optimizations, and fixes. This update enhances the overall performance, making the export process faster and more reliable, especially for large documents. Key improvements include better handling of table borders, automatic detection of Word styles from CSS, and support for more text-related CSS properties, ensuring your documents maintain their intended formatting.

Starting this version, the V2 configuration becomes the default in the ExportWord plugin. Make sure to migrate your configuration if you are using it.

Improved sidebar accessibility and navigation

We have introduced multiple enhancements to make the sidebar more accessible. Among other improvements, you can now use the Shift+Ctrl+E keystroke to move focus from the editor marker to the active annotation. When your comment reply is ready, you can quickly submit it using the new Ctrl+Enter shortcut. Also, navigation from one annotation to another is now possible by using arrow keys.

The full lists of keyboard supported actions can be reviewed in our Accessibility support guide.

Important bug fixes and improvements

This release brings notable bug fixes and improvements to enhance your editing experience.

  • Several improvements have been made to typing in the editor, especially for Android IME and Safari. On Android, issues like duplicated characters and reverse writing effects have been resolved. In Safari, the reverse typing effect after focus change has been fixed.
  • A couple of UI improvements:
    • We replaced the visual indication of the selected option in dropdowns (blue background) with the checkbox marks to better indicate selected options, aligning visual cues across the toolbar and menu bar.
    • All editor types now support the menu bar.
    • Additionally, the special characters UI has been moved from a dropdown to a dialog. This unifies the action between the menu bar and toolbar, and also gives content creators quicker access to the always-on-top dialog.
  • We have improved the drawing of page break line algorithm to address the pagination feature issues. We also improved the performance of the plugin.

React and Vue integrations updates

We have released new major versions of the React and Vue integrations. In both of them, we have migrated to JavaScript modules (ESM) and rewritten large parts of the codebases to support the latest versions of these frameworks and to follow the latest recommendations for writing the components.

We strongly recommend that you follow the release highlights to update to the latest versions:

MAJOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • ckeditor5: Global name for the ckeditor5 package in the UMD builds has been changed to CKEDITOR.
  • ckeditor5-premium-features: Global name for the ckeditor5-premium-features package in the UMD builds has been changed to CKEDITOR_PREMIUM_FEATURES.
  • export-word: Export to Word V1 configuration format is deprecated, V2 is set as default. The exportWord.converterOptions configuration should be adjusted to new API. See the migration guide.
  • export-word: The auto_pagination configuration option in exportWord.converterOptions is set to false by default.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • ckbox: The CKBoxUtils#getWorkspaceId() and CKBoxUtils#getToken() methods now return a promise instead of a resolved value.
  • comments: AnnotationView#focus() will focus the first view in the content collection instead of the view DOM element.
  • comments: Sidebar#addAnnotation() will expect the annotation view to meet the FocusableView interface (previously any UI View).
  • engine: Schema callbacks added through addChildCheck() will no longer add event listeners with high priority and will no longer stop checkChild event. Instead, these callbacks are now handled on normal priority, as a part of the default checkChild() call. This also means that listeners added to checkChild event on high priority will fire before any callbacks added by checkChild(). Earlier they would fire in registration order. This may impact you if you implemented custom schema callback using both addChildCheck() and direct listener to checkChild event. All above is also true for addAttributeCheck() and checkAttribute event and callbacks.
  • html-embed: HTML Embed plugin configuration value sanitizeHtml was moved from the htmlEmbed space to top-level configuration space. config.htmlEmbed.sanitizeHtml is now deprecated. It will still be used if it set, however we recommend updating the configuration as this property may be removed in upcoming releases.
  • real-time-collaboration: The size of avatars in the user presence list has been changed, which may affect integrations that depend on their dimensions. In addition, a focus border has been added to these avatars, which extends beyond the editor container. Please refer to the styling guide to learn how to change the look of the list.
  • real-time-collaboration: The collaboration user presence list dropdown now has a conditional overflow: scroll style (previously the style was permanent).
  • special-characters: Special characters plugin now uses a dialog (instead of a toolbar dropdown).
  • theme-lark: The --ck-list-button-padding custom property has been removed from the codebase.
  • track-changes: A substantial part of the SuggestionThreadView template was moved to a new view SuggestionView. It may affect you if you provided customization for suggestions annotations through an extended SuggestionThreadView or BaseSuggestionThreadView class. Please review updated API documentation for SuggestionThreadView#getTemplate() and SuggestionView#getTemplate(). You can extend SuggestionView the same way as SuggestionThreadView and BaseSuggestionThreadView, and provide the extended class through the newly added configuration property TrackChangesConfig#SuggestionView.
  • ui: We changed styles for "active" items inside menu bar and dropdowns lists. Previously, an active (chosen, enabled, opened, etc.) item was highlighted with a blue background. Now, the active element has a checkmark icon on the left.

Features

  • ckbox: The image upload and edit buttons are now disabled if the user has no permission to upload an asset. (commit)

v42.0.2

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v42.0.2.

Release highlights

This is a patch release that includes the following bug fixes for new installation methods introduced in v42.0.0:

  • Fixed type definitions for the imports used in the optimized build (see #16684).
  • Fixed minor issues with the ckeditor5-editor.css, ckeditor5-content.css, and other optimized style sheets (see #16703).
  • Fixed issues with installing and loading the CKEditor 5 packages using Yarn PnP (see #16646).
  • Fixed issues with loading CSS and translation files with older bundlers, such as Vite 2 and Vite 3 (see #16638).

Additionally, we fixed some performance issues in the track changes plugin. The editing experience was heavily affected if there were many (hundreds or more) suggestions in the document. This was a regression introduced in v41.0.0.

Bug fixes

  • ckeditor5: Changed the path to the types in the package.json. See #16684. (commit)
  • ckeditor5: Updated the exports field in package.json to fix issues with loading CSS and translations in older bundlers. See #16638. (commit)
  • ckeditor5-premium-features: Changed the path to the types in the package.json.
  • ckeditor5-premium-features: Updated the exports field in package.json to fix issues with loading CSS and translations in older bundlers.
  • Added dependencies used in the new dist folder as production dependencies instead of devDependencies. Related to #16646. (commit)

Other changes

  • track-changes: Performance fixes for scenarios where hundreds of suggestions exist in the document.

v42.0.1

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v42.0.1.

Release highlights

This is a patch release that fixes issues with ckeditor5-editor.css and other editor-only stylesheets that contained extra newline characters causing incorrect syntax reported in ckeditor/ckeditor5#16670.

Additionally, if you maintain custom CKEditor 5 plugins and migrated them to the new package generator, you should update @ckeditor/ckeditor5-dev-build-tools to the latest version to avoid this problem in your plugin.

Release highlights

New installation methods

We are excited to announce the latest release of CKEditor 5, bringing major improvements to simplify the installation and setup process. After extensive research and gathering feedback, we have improved the setup methods to enhance the developer experience and align with modern standards.

The most prominent changes:

  • All plugins and core features are now available from the unified ckeditor5 and ckeditor5-premium-features packages, reducing dependency management complexity.
  • Our packages became bundler-agnostic. You can use whatever bundler you want (such as Vite or esbuild), to integrate CKEditor 5.
  • CSS files are now distributed separately from JavaScript, allowing for parallel downloading, easier customization, and improved performance.
  • All the new distribution methods (available via npm, CDN, and ZIP downloads) allow dynamic plugin registration making it easy to add or remove plugins dynamically.

The old installation methods are still supported, but we put them on the deprecation path. Read more about this in our migration guides.

New Builder

Along with the new release, we present you the brand new CKEditor 5 Builder.

The new Builder allows you to start with one of the predefined presets, customize it by adding and removing features, and observe the changes live in an editor preview (and play with the editor!). Once you are happy with your custom setup, you get ready-to-use code snippets for React, Angular, Vue, and VanillaJS setups for both npm and CDN distributions.

Updated documentation

We rewrote large parts of the documentation to complete the picture and ensure consistency across the ecosystem. The entire Getting started section was redesigned to focus on the new installation methods and to better guide the integrator through the ecosystem.

If you need clarification or a more in-depth explanation, please let us know.

Migration paths

Finally, detailed migration guides can be found in our documentation. These guides provide step-by-step instructions and examples to help you seamlessly transition to the new installation methods:

We value your input, so please share your experiences, ask questions, and provide feedback to help us refine these changes. Join us in this exciting new chapter for CKEditor 5 and let’s make the developer experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Removal of superbuild and predefined builds from the CDN

We have stopped publishing the superbuild and predefined builds to our CDN. Predefined builds can still be accessed as an npm package. If you want to keep using our CDN with new versions of the editor, we recommend migrating to the new installation methods.

Other updates

We are excited to announce a major update to our premium Export to Word feature, delivering significantly improved quality with multiple enhancements and bug fixes. This release also brings a substantial reduction in the conversion time. Export to Word v2 is an opt-in feature right now, and to use it you need to slightly change the editor’s configuration. Detailed information can be found in the documentation.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • image: The Insert image via URL UI component form has been moved to a modal dialog instead of being available directly in the insert image dropdown.
  • image: Increased specificity of the .image-style-block-align-[right/left], .image-style-align-[right/left], and .image-style-side CSS classes by adding the .image class. See #16317.
  • media-embed: The media embed feature now uses a modal dialog (instead of a toolbar dropdown) for inserting media.
  • pagination: If you have custom CSS styles that override the default styling of the Pagination elements, they might stop working after this change. The reason is that a stricter CSS selector with ck-pagination-loaded is now used to hide or show these elements.

Features

  • engine: Schema now supports disallowing items. Introduced the SchemaItemDefinition#disallowIn, SchemaItemDefinition#disallowChildren and SchemaItemDefinition#disallowAttributes properties. Closes #15835. (commit)
  • engine: Introduced the DiffItemInsert#action, DiffItemInsert#before and DiffItemRemove#action properties which give more information about the change that happened in the model. Refer to the API documentation to learn more. Closes #15800. (commit)
  • export-word: Added support for Export to Word API v2.
  • image: Added menu bar integration for the insert image component. The menuBar:insertImage component is by default added to the "Insert" menu and replaces current buttons related to image insertion. Closes #16445. (commit)
  • list-multi-level: Added the menu bar integration for multi-level lists. The menuBar:multiLevelList component is by default added in the "Format" menu.
  • media-embed: Added menu bar integration to media embed. The "Media" button is now available in the "Insert" menu. (commit)
  • watchdog: Export the EditorCreatorFunction and WatchdogConfig types from the main index file. (commit)

Bug fixes

  • ai: The h1 tags will no longer be normalized to h2 tags in the AI Assistant response if the editor has h1 tags enabled in its content.
  • ckbox: The image toolbar stays attached to the image after closing CKBox. Closes #16153. (commit)
  • ckeditor5-premium-features: Use the new @ckeditor/ckeditor-cloud-services-collaboration build targeting es2022 when creating a browser build of ckeditor5-premium-features.
  • comments: Prevent crashes in narrow and wide sidebars when the EditorAnnotations plugin is not loaded.
  • engine: Preserve repeated spaces in text that is contained within an element that renders (repeated) white space. Closes #16124. (commit)
  • export-word: Collaboration features should work with Export Word v2 API.
  • image: Buttons inside the insertImage dropdown will no longer have an unnecessary tooltip. (commit)
  • image: Increased specificity of the .image-style-block-align-[right/left], .image-style-align-[right/left], and .image-style-side CSS classes by adding the .image class. Closes #16317. (commit)

v41.3.1

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v41.3.1.

The release addresses a vulnerability identified in the protobuf.js package (CVE-2023-36665), used within our @ckeditor/ckeditor5-operations-compressor package for real-time collaboration.

Our analysis confirms that this vulnerability does not affect CKEditor 5. None of the vulnerable code in the protobuf.js package is utilized in CKEditor 5, as we use protobuf’s minimal build type.

This release primarily aims to ensure that our customers using real-time collaboration features do not encounter unnecessary security alerts from their scanning tools. We are committed to maintaining the highest security standards, and this update reflects our ongoing efforts to safeguard user environments proactively.

Bug fixes

  • template: Fixed the TemplateDefinition#data type in the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-template config. Now, it should be possible to define a string or a function returning a string instead of just a function returning a string.
