Topic: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

Finally we managed to get the major quirks out of the new 3.3 branch. So it was time to release it as a final. Only a few major bugs have been reported since the last RC and those have now all been fixed.

Thanks for all the help with testing and excellent bug reports, patches etc.

We will now start focusing on what to bring in the upcoming 3.4 release. On the table right now is a better HTML serialization engine that would resolve a few issues with the current one. We will also focus on fixing the embedding of external media since it's a popular request and the media plugin seems to complex for some users.

Yes, it's been a struggle to get this one working. If people think IE 6 is bad. IE 8 is even worse, it crashes all the time.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

@Felix: They have the wrong development model for the browser. They shipped way to few pre releases, there where only a couple of betas and some release candidates and each of those had it's own issues. So there was no time to report the issues or for them to fix them with that few builds. They should have some nightly build process or at least more release candidates. It would benefit them and enable bug reporters to help them produce a more stable product.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

Not to mention the hazzle of submitting them a bug report. We used to have a contact at MS but he quit a long time ago.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

Most of their developer tools like chat, forum, bug tracker doesn't work in modern browsers. So you had to use IE 7 or IE 8 in compatibility mode. I was baffled to see that a big company like Microsoft had such poor community tools.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

Fixed bug where the UI would render incorrectly in FF 3.6 on Mac due to a bug n their rendering engine.

The bug is still there for FF 3.6 on OSX10.6. I get a gray overlay on the offical demo page.
With the office-skin the bug does not happen.

Does it work with TinyMCE 3.3 or only with 3.2.7?

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

@Moxiefan: Hmm, you seem to be right. I thought I managed to resolve that issue. But I guess I was wrong, bit tricky to test this one since you need to restart the browser each time and have 3.6 etc. I guess I should try to report it to the Gecko team since the rendering engine seems broken.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

I just tested this out a little in chrome and reverted back to version 3.2.1.1.

I use TinyMCE in very basic ways..  But what I notice while testing in chrome before reverting back was..

1) It seemed like when you hit the enter it adds '<div><br><br></div>'  then when you remove the extra <br> and save it... It strips out the last <br> and just leaves "<div></div>". It didn't do this in version 3.2.1.1

I use this in my ini.

force_br_newlines : "true"

2) When I hit the HTML code behind, to bring up the dialog box, it still randomly makes it full size.

But, it did fix a lot of the other issues, in chrome the 3.2.1.1 version had using the font-coloring buttons.

Thanks for all the effort you put into such a great editor.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

@lukesallnatural: Does this happen on the TinyMCE example page (with cleared browser cache)?

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

I have recently updated from majorVersion:"3",minorVersion:"2.7",releaseDate:"2009-09-22" to majorVersion:"3",minorVersion:"3.3",releaseDate:"2010-04-19". I am having issues editting pages that were already put together using the old editor. The old editor used <p align="center"> or <div align="center">, the new one uses <p style="text-align: center;"> and <div style="text-align: center;">. If you click to edit a page written with the old editor it removes 'align="center"' and replaces with <p> or <div> and everything is aligned left again! Also there are font issues! Old editor used <font> example: <font face="georgia,palatino" size="3"> New editor uses <span>. If you select a whole paragraph or div and try and change the font nothing happens, open the html source editor and it has added a span before the font: <span style="font-family: andale mono,times;"><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">. Messy and the font stays as Georgia. Is this because we did a big jump?? If we update to 3.3.5 will these issues be cured? Many thanks.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

We don't longer support deprecated elements. We have a legacyoutput plugin that can be used to produce these old elements.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

@MikeCrash

Why don't you just download the latest version of TinyMCE? The package includes the legacyoutput plugin!

Well done !  smile

Don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence but disabling the translate and spell_checker on google toolbar i got fewer crashes with IE8

I had the same experience after disabling spell_checker.

Re: TinyMCE 3.3 Released

Sounds like a google toolbar bug. I guess you should report it to them since there is no way for us to detect if the toolbar is enabled or not.
