Version 2.5 Beta

New Features and Improvements:

• [#624] [#634] [#1300] [#1301] Official compatibility support with Opera 9.50 and Safari 3 (WebKit based browsers actually). These browsers are still in Beta, but we are confident that we'll have amazing results as soon as they get stable. We are continuously collaborating with Opera Software and Apple to bring a wonderful FCKeditor experience over their browser platforms.
• [#494] Introduced the new Style System. We are not anymore relaying on browser features to apply and remove styles, which guarantees that the editor will behave in the same way in all browsers. It is an incredibly flexible system, which aims to fit all developer's needs, from Flash content or HTML4 to XHTML 1.0 Strict or XHTML 1.1:
  • All basic formatting features, like Bold and Italic, can be precisely controlled by using the configuration file (CoreStyles setting). It means that now, the Bold button, for example, can produce <b>, <strong>, <span class...>, <span style...> or anything the developer prefers.
  • Again with the CoreStyles setting, each block format, font, size, and even the color pickers can precisely reflect end developer's needs.
  • Because of the above changes, font sizes are much more flexible. Any kind of font unit can be used, including a mix of units.
  • All styles, including toolbar bottom styles, are precisely controlled when being applied to the document. FCKeditor uses an element table derived from the W3C XHTML DTDs to precisely create the elements, guarantee standards compliant code.
  • No more <font> tags... well... actually, the system is so flexible that it is up to you to use them or not.
  • It is possible to configure FCKeditor to produce a truly semantic aware and XHTML 1.1 compliant code. Check out sample14.html.
  • It's also possible to precisely control which inline elements must be removed with the "Remove All" button, by using the "RemoveFormatTags" setting.
  • [#1231] [#160] Paragraph indentation and justification now uses style attributes and don't create unnecessary elements, and <blockquote> is not anymore used for it. Now, even CSS classes can be used to indent or align text.
  • All paragraph formatting features work well when EnterMode=br.
  • [#172] All paragraph formatting features work well when list items too.
• [#1197] [#132] The toolbar now presents a new button for Blockquote. The indentation button will not anymore be used for that.
• [#125] Table's columns size can now be changed by dragging on cell borders, with the "dragresizetable" plugin.
• The EditorAreaCSS config option can now also be set to a string of paths separated by commas.
• [#212] New "Show Blocks" command button in toolbar to show block details in the editing area.
• [#915] The undo/redo system has been revamped to work the same across Internet Explorer and Gecko-based browsers (e.g. Firefox). A number of critical bugs in the undo/redo system are also fixed.
• [#194] The editor now uses the Data Processor technology, which makes it possible to handle different input formats. A sample of it may be found at "editor/plugins/bbcode/_sample", that shows some simple BBCode support.
• [#145] The "htaccess.txt" file has been renamed to ".htaccess" as it doesn't bring security concerns, being active out of the box.
• File Browser and Quick Upload changes:
  • [#163] Attention: The default connector in fckconfig.js has been changed from ASP to PHP. If you are using ASP remember to change the _FileBrowserLanguage and _QuickUploadLanguage settings in your fckconfig.js. [#454] The file browser and upload connectors have been unified so they can reuse the same configuration settings.
  • [#865] The ASP and PHP connectors have been improved so it's easy to select the location of the destination folder for each file type, and it's no longer necessary to use the "file", "image", "flash" subfolders
    Attention: The location of all the connectors have been changed in the fckconfig.js file. Please check your settings to match the current ones. Also review carefully the config file for your server language.
  • [#688] Now the Perl quick upload is available.
  • [#575] The Python connector has been rewritten as a WSGI app to be fully compatible with the latest python frameworks and servers. The QuickUpload feature has been added as well as all the features available in the PHP connector. Thanks to Mariano Reingart.
  • [#561] The ASP connector provides an AbsolutePath setting so it's possible to set the url to a full domain or a relative path and specify that way the physical folder where the files are stored..
  • [#333] The Quick Upload now can use the same ServerPath parameter as the full connector.
  • [#199] The AllowedCommands configuration setting is available in the asp and php connectors so it's possible to disallow the upload of files (although the "select file" button will still be available in the file browser).
• [#100] A new configuration directive "FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles" has been implemented to allow setting editing area styles from JavaScript.
• [#102] HTML code generated by the "Paste As Plain Text" feature now obeys the EnterMode setting.
• [#1266] Introducing the HtmlEncodeOutput setting to instruct the editor to HTML-encode some characters (&, < and >) in the posted data.
• [#357] Added a "Remove Anchor" option in the context menu for anchors.
• [#1060] Compatibility checks with Firefox 3.0 Alpha.
• [#817] [#1077] New "Merge Down/Right" commands for merging tables cells in non-Gecko browsers.
• [#1288] The "More Colors..." button in color selector popup has been made optional and configurable by the EnableMoreFontColors option.
• [#356] The Find and Replace dialogs are now unified into a single dialog with tabs.
• [#549] Added a 'None' option to the FCKConfig.ToolbarLocation option to allow for hidden toolbars.
• [#1313] An XHTML 1.1 target editor sample has been created as sample14.html.
• The ASP, ColdFusion and PHP integration have been aligned to our standards.

Fixed Bugs:

• [SF Patch 1511298] The CF Component failed on CFMX 6.0
• [#639] If the FCKConfig.DefaultLinkTarget setting was missing in fckconfig.js the links has target="undefined".

• [#943] The PHP connector now specifies that the included files are relative to the current path.
• [#560] The PHP connector will work better if the connector or the userfiles folder is a symlink.
• [#784] Fixed a non initialized $php_errormsg in the PHP connector.
• [#802] The replace dialog will now advance its searching position correctly and is able to search for strings spanning across multiple inline tags.
• [#944] The _samples didn't work directly from the Mac filesystem.
• [#946] Toolbar images didn't show in non-IE browsers if the path contained a space.
• [#291] [#395] [#932] Clicking outside the editor it was possible to paste or apply formatting to the rest of the page in IE.

• [#268] Fixed special XHTML characters present in event attribute values being converted inappropriately when switching to source view.
• [#272] The toolbar was cut sometimes in IE to just one row if there are multiple instances of the editor.
• [#515] Tables in Firefox didn't inherit font styles properly in Standards mode.
• [#321] If FCKeditor is initially hidden in Firefox it will no longer be necessary to call the oEditor.MakeEditable() function.
• [#299] The 'Browse Server' button in the Image and Flash dialogs was a little too high.
• [#931] The BodyId and BodyClass configuration settings weren't applied in the preview window.

• [#996] "OnPaste" event listeners will now get executed only once.
• [#289] Removed debugging popups from page load regarding JavaScript and CSS loading errors.
• [#328] [#346] [#404] Fixed a number of problems regarding <pre> blocks:
  1. Leading whitespaces and line breaks in <pre> blocks are trimmed when the user switches between editor mode and source mode;
  2. Pressing Enter inside a <pre> block would split the block into two, but the expected behavior is simply inserting a line break;
  3. Simple line breaks inside <pre> blocks entered in source mode are being turned into <br> tags when the user switches to editor mode and back.
• [#581] Fixed the issue where the "Maximize the editor size" toolbar button stops working if any of the following occurs:
  1. There exists a form input whose name or id is "style" in FCKeditor's host form;
  2. There exists a form input whose name or id is "className" in FCKeditor's host form;
  3. There exists a form and a form input whose name of id is "style" in the editing frame.
• [#183] Fixed the issue when FCKeditor is being executed in a custom application with the WebBrowser ActiveX control, hiding the WebBrowser control would incorrectly invoke FCKeditor's cleanup routines, causing FCKeditor to stop working.
• [#539] Fixed the issue where right clicking on a table inside the editing frame in Firefox would cause the editor the scroll to the top of the document.
• [#523] Fixed the issue where, under certain circumstances, FCKeditor would obtain focus at startup even though FCKConfig.StartupFocus is set to false.
• [#393] Fixed the issue where if an inline tag is at the end of the document, the user would have no way of escaping from the inline tag if he continues typing at the end of the document. FCKeditor's behaviors regarding inline tags has been made to be more like MS Word's:
  1. If the caret is moved to the end of a hyperlink by the keyboard, then hyperlink mode is disabled.
  2. If the caret is moved to the end of other styled inline tags by any key other than the End key (like bold text or italic text), the original bold/italic/... modes would continue to be effective.
  3. If the caret is moved to the end of other styled inline tags by the End key, all style tag modes (e.g. bold, italic, underline, etc.) would be canceled. This is not consistent with MS Word, but provides a convenient way for the user to escape the inline tag at the end of a line.
• [#338] Fixed the issue where the configuration directive FCKConfig.ForcePasteAsPlainText is ignored when new contents are pasted into the editor via drag-and drop from outside of the editor.
• [#1026] Fixed the issue where the cursor or selection positions are not restored with undo/redo commands correctly in IE, under some circumstances.
• [#1160] [#1184] Home, End and Tab keys are working properly for numeric fields in dialogs.
• [#68] The style system now properly handles Format styles when EnterMode=br.
• [#525] The union of successive DIVs will work properly now if EnterMode!=div.
• [#1227] The color commands used an unnecessary temporary variable. Thanks to Matthias Miller
• [#67] [#277] [#427] [#428] [#965] [#1178] [#1267] The list insertion/removal/indent/outdent logic in FCKeditor has been rewritten, such that:
  1. Text separated by <br> will always be treated as separate items during list insertion regardless of browser;
  2. List removal will now always obey the FCKConfig.EnterMode setting;
  3. List indentation will be XHTML 1.1 compliant - all child elements under an <ol> or <ul> must be <li> nodes;
  4. IE editor hacks like <ul type="1"> will no longer appear;
  5. Excessive <div> nodes are no longer inserted into list items due to alignment changes.
• [#205] Fixed the issue where visible <br> tags at the end of paragraphs are incorrectly removed after switching to and from source mode.
• [#1050] Fixed a minor PHP/XML incompatibility bug in editor/dialog/fck_docprops.html.

• [#1089] Fixed the issue where pressing Enter inside a <pre> block do not generate visible line breaks in IE.
• [#332] Hitting Enter when the caret is at the end of a hyperlink will no longer continue the link at the new paragraph.

Version 2.4

New Features and Improvements:

• [SF Feature-1329273] [SF Feature-1456005] [SF BUG-1315002] [SF BUG-1350180] [SF BUG-1450689] [SF BUG-1461033] [SF BUG-1510111] [SF BUG-1203560] [SF BUG-1564838] The advance Enter Key Handler is now being introduced. It gives you complete freedom to configure the editor to generate <p>, <div> or <br> when the user uses both the [Enter] and [Shift]+[Enter] keys. The new "EnterMode" and "ShiftEnterMode" settings can be use to control its behavior. It also guarantees that all browsers will generate the same output.
• The new and powerful Keyboard Accelerator System is being introduced. You can now precisely control the commands to execute when some key combinations are activated by the user. It guarantees that all browsers will have the same behavior regarding the shortcuts.
  It also makes it possible to remove buttons from the toolbar and still invoke their features by using the keyboard instead.
  It also blocks all default "CTRL based shortcuts" imposed by the browsers, so if you don't want users to underline text, just remove the CTRL+U combination from the keystrokes table. Take a look at the FCKConfig.Keystrokes setting in the fckconfig.js file.
• The new "ProtectedTags" configuration option is being introduced. It will accept a list of tags (separated by a pipe "|"), which will have no effect during editing, but will still be part of the document DOM. This can be used mainly for non HTML standard, custom tags.
• Dialog box commands can now open resizable dialogs (by setting oCommand.Resizable = true).
• Updated support for AFP. Thanks to Soenke Freitag.
• New language file:
  • Afrikaans (by Willem Petrus Botha).

• [SF Patch-1472654] The server side script location for SpellerPages can now be set in the configuration file, by using the SpellerPagesServerScript setting.
• Attention: All connectors are now pointing by default to the "/userfiles/" folder instead of "/UserFiles/" (case change). Also, the inner folders for each type (file, image, flash and media) are all lower-cased too.
• Attention: The UseBROnCarriageReturn configuration is not anymore valid. The EnterMode setting can now be used to precisely set the enter key behavior.

Fixed Bugs:

• [SF BUG-1598517] Meta tags are now protected from execution during editing (avoiding the "redirect" meta to be activated).
• [SF BUG-1415601] Firefox internals: styleWithCSS is used instead of the deprecated useCSS whenever possible.
• All JavaScript Core extension function have been renamed to "PascalCase" (some were in "camelCase"). This may have impact on plugins that use any of those functions.
• [SF BUG-1592311] Operations in the caption of tables are now working correctly in both browsers.
• Small interface fixes to the about box.
• [SF PATCH-1604576] [SF BUG-1604301] Link creation failed in Firefox 3 alpha. Thanks to Arpad Borsos

* This version has been partially sponsored by Medical Media Lab.

Version 2.3.3

New Features and Improvements:

• The project has been relicensed under the terms of the GPL / LGPL / MPL licenses. This change will remove many licensing compatibility issues with other open source licenses, making the editor even more "open" than before.
• Attention: The default directory in the distribution package is now named "fckeditor" (in lowercase) instead of "FCKeditor".  This change may impact installations on case sensitive OSs, like Linux.
• Attention: The "Universal Keyboard" has been removed from the package. The license of those files was unclear so they can't be included alongside the rest of FCKeditor.

Version 2.3.2

New Features and Improvements:

• Users can now decide if the template dialog will replace the entire contents of the editor or simply place the template in the cursor position. This feature can be controlled by the "TemplateReplaceAll" and "TemplateReplaceCheckbox" configuration options.
• [SF Patch-1237693] A new configuration option (ProcessNumericEntities) is now available to tell the editor to convert non ASCII chars to their relative numeric entity references. It is disabled by default.
• The new "AdditionalNumericEntities" setting makes it possible to define a set of characters to be transformed to their relative numeric entities. This is useful when you don't want the code to have simple quotes ('), for example.
• The Norwegian language file (no.js) has been duplicated to include the Norwegian Bokmal (nb.js) in the supported interface languages. Thanks to Martin Kronstad.
• Two new patterns have been added to the Universal Keyboard:

• [SF BUG-1090851] The new "ToolbarComboPreviewCSS" configuration option has been created, so it is possible to point the Style and Format toolbar combos to a different CSS, avoiding conflicts with the editor area CSS.
• [SF Feature-1421309] [SF BUG-1489402] It is now possible to configure the Quick Uploder target path to consider the file type (ex: Image or File) in the target path for uploads.
• The JavaScript integration file has two new things:
  • The "CreateHtml()" function in the FCKeditor object, used to retrieve the HTML of an editor instance, instead of writing it directly to the page (as done by "Create()").
  • The global "FCKeditor_IsCompatibleBrowser()" function, which tells if the executing browser is compatible with FCKeditor. This makes it possible to do any necessary processing depending on the compatibility, without having to create and editor instance.

Fixed Bugs:

• [SF BUG-1525242] [SF BUG-1500050] All event attributes (like onclick or onmouseover) are now being protected before loading the editor. In this way, we avoid firing those events during editing (IE issue) and they don't interfere in other specific processors in the editor.
• Small security fixes to the File Browser connectors.
• [SF BUG-1546226] Small fix to the ColdFusion CFC integration file.

• [SF BUG-1507755] Fixed a conflict between the "DisableObjectResizing" and "ShowBorders" configuration options over IE.
• Opera 9 tries to "mimic" Gecko in the browser detection system of FCKeditor. As this browser is not "yet" supported, the editor was broken on it. It has been fixed, and now a textarea is displayed, as in any other unsupported browser. Support for Opera is still experimental and can be activated by setting the property "EnableOpera" to true when creating an instance of the editor with the JavaScript integration files.
• With Opera 9, the toolbar was jumping on buttons rollover.
• [SF BUG-1509479] The iframes used in Firefox for all editor panels (dropdown combos, context menu, etc...) are now being placed right before the main iframe that holds the editor. In this way, if the editor container element is removed from the DOM (by DHTML) they are removed together with it.
• [SF BUG-1271070] [SF BUG-1411430] The editor API now works well on DHTML pages that create and remove instances of FCKeditor dynamically.

• [SF BUG-1489768] The panels (context menus, toolbar combos and color selectors), where being displayed in the wrong position if the contents of the editor, or its containing window were scrolled down.

• [SF Patch-1349765] Small fix to the FCKSelection.GetType over Firefox. Thanks to Alfonso Martinez.
• [SF Patch-1495422] The editor now creates link based on the URL when no selection is available. Thanks to Dominik Pesch.
• [SF Patch-1478859] On some circumstances, the Yahoo popup blocker was blocking the File Browser window, giving no feedback to the user. Now an alert message is displayed.
• When using the editor in a RTL localized interface, like Arabic, the toolbar combos were not showing completely in the first click. Fixed.
• [SF BUG-1500212] All "_samples/html" samples are now working when loading directly from the Windows Explorer. Thanks to Alfonso Martinez.
• The "FitWindow" feature was breaking the editor under Firefox 1.0.x.

  • Attention: As a completely new system has being developed. Skins created for versions prior this one will not work. Skin styles definitions have being merged, added and removed. All skins have been a little bit reviewed.
  • It is possible to detach the toolbar from an editor instance and share it with other instances. In this way you may have only one toolbar (in the top of the window, for example, that can be used by many editors (see sample10.html). This feature is still under development (issues with IE focus still to be solved).*
• New context menu system:
  • It uses the same (fast) loading system as the toolbar.

• New language files:
  • Bengali / Bangla (by Richard Walledge).
  • English (Canadian) (by Kevin Bennett).
  • Khmer (by Sengtha Chay).

• The configuration file doesn't define a default DOCTYPE to be used now.
• It is now possible to easily change the toolbar using the JavaScript API by just calling <EditorInstance>.ToolbarSet.Load( '<ToolbarName>' ). See _testcases/010.html for a sample.
• The "OnBlur" and "OnFocus" JavaScript API events are now compatible with all supported browsers.
• Some few updates in the Lasso connector and uploader.
• The GeckoUseSPAN setting is now set to "false" by default. In this way, the code produced by the bold, italic and underline commands are the same on all browsers.

• [SF BUG-1200328] The editor now offers a way to "protect" part of the source to remain untouched while editing or changing views. Just use the "FCKConfig.ProtectedSource" object to configure it and customize to your needs. It is based on regular expressions. See fckconfig.js for some samples.

• [SF Feature-1246623] The new configuration option "ForceStrongEm" has been introduced so you can force the editor to convert all <B> and <I> tags to <STRONG> and <EM> respectively.
• A nice contribution has been done by Goss Interactive Ltd:
  • [SF BUG-1246949] Implemented ENTER key and BACKSPACE key handlers for Gecko so that P tags (or an appropriate block element) get inserted instead of BR tags when not in the UseBROnCarriageReturn config mode.
    The ENTER key handling has been written to function much the same as the ENTER key handling on IE : as soon as the ENTER key is pressed, existing content will be wrapped with a suitable block element (P tag) as appropriate and a new block element (P tag) will be started.
    The ENTER key handler also caters for pressing ENTER within empty list items - ENTER in an empty item at the top of a list will remove that list item and start a new P tag above the list; ENTER in an empty item at the bottom of a list will remove that list item and start a new P tag below the list; ENTER in an empty item in the middle of a list will remove that list item, split the list into two, and start a new P tag between the two lists.
  • Any tables that are found to be incorrectly nested within a block element (P tag) will be moved out of the block element when loaded into the editor. This is required for the new ENTER/BACKSPACE key handlers and it also avoids non-compliant HTML. 
  • The InsertOrderedList and InsertUnorderedList commands have been overridden on Gecko to ensure that block elements (P tags) are placed around a list item's content when it is moved out of the list due to clicking on the editor's list toolbar buttons (when not in the UseBROnCarriageReturn config mode).

• [SF BUG-1251373 ] The above fix also has corrected some strange behaviors on Firefox.
• [SF BUG-1144258] [SF BUG-1092081] The File Browsers now run on the same server session used in the page where the editor is placed in (IE issue). Thanks to Simone Chiaretta.

• [SF BUG-1290610 ] Over HTTPS, there were some warnings when loading the Images, Flash and Link dialogs. Fixed.

• [SF Patch-1287070 ] In the Universal Keyboard, the Arabic keystrokes translator is now working with Firefox. Thanks again to Abdul-Aziz Al-Oraij.

• [SF BUG-1279551] [SF BUG-1242105] On IE, some features are dependant of ActiveX components (secure... distributed with IE itself). Some security setting could avoid the usage of those components and the editor would stop working. Now a message is shown, indicating the use the minimum necessary settings need by the editor to run.
• [SF BUG-1298880] Firefox can't handle the STRONG and EM tags. Those tags are now converted to B and I so it works accordingly.

(Actually, the editor automatically "grows" empty elements to make the user able to enter text on it). Attention: the extra &nbsp; will be added when switching from WYSIWYG to Source View, so the user may see an additional space on empty blocks. (XHTML support must be enabled).

  • [SF BUG-1060073] The <STYLE> and <SCRIPT> elements contents will be handled as is, without CDATA tag surrounding. This may break XHTML validation. In any case the use of external files for scripts and styles is recommended (W3C recommendation).

• [SF BUG-1085034] [SF BUG-1076796] Some bugs in the PHP connector have been corrected.
• A problem with the "Format" command on IE browsers on languages different of English has been solved. The negative side of this correction is that due to a IE bad design it is not possible to update the "Format" combo while moving throw the text (context sensitive).
• On Gecko browsers, when selecting an image and executing the "New Page" command, the image handles still appear, even if the image is not available anymore (this is a Gecko bug). When clicking in a "phanton" randle, the browser crashes. It doesn't happen (the crash) anymore.

• [SF BUG-1077747] The missing images on the Office2003 and Silver skins are now included in the package.

• [SF BUG-1004078] ColdFusion: The "config" structure/hash table with keys and values is in ColdFusion not(!) case sensitive. All keys returned by ColdFusion are in upper case format. Because the FCKeditor configuration keys must be case sensitive, we had to match all structure/hash keys with a list of the correct configuration names in mixed case. This has been added to the fckeditor.cfc and fckeditor.cfm.
• [SF BUG-1075166] ColdFusion: The "fallback" variant of the texteditor (<textarea>) has a bug in the fckeditor.cfm. This has been fixed.

• A new "_docs" folder has been introduced for the documentation. It is not yet complete, but I hope the community will help us to fill it better.
• It is now possible (even if it is not recommended by the W3C) to force the use of simple ampersands (&) on attributes (like the links href) instead of its entity &amp;. Just set FCKConfig.ForceSimpleAmpersand = true in the configuration file.

  oFCKeditor.Config["ImageBrowserURL"] = '/imgs/browse.asp?filter=abc*.jpg&userid=1';
• A minimal browse server sample is now available in ASP. Thanks to Andreas Barnet.

Version 1.4

• ATTENTION: For PHP users: The editor was changed and now uses htmlspecialchars instead of htmlentities when handling the initial value. It should works well, but please make some tests before upgrading definitively. If there is any problem just uncomment the line in the fckeditor.php file (and send me a message!).
• The editor is now integrated with ieSpell (http://www.iespell.com) for Spell Checking. You can configure the download URL in then fck_config.js file. Thanks to Sanjay Sharma. (ieSpell is free for personal use but must be paid for commercial use)

• A new method is available for PHP users. It's called ReturnFCKeditor. It works exactly like CreateFCKeditor, but it returns a string with the HTML for the editor instead of output it (echo). This feature is useful for people who are working with Smarty Templates or something like that. Thanks to Timothy J. Finucane.
• Many people have had problems with international characters over PHP. I had also the same problem. PHP have strange problems with character encoding. The code hasn't been changed but just saved again with Western European encoding. Now it works well in my system.
  Take a look also at the "default_charset" configuration option at the php.ini file. It doesn't seem to be an editor's problem but a PHP issue.

• The Table dialog box now handles the Style width and height set in the table (Thanks to Roberto Arruda). There where many problems on prior version when people changed manually the table's size, dragging the size handles, and then it was not possible to set a new size using the table dialog box.
• For the Image dialog box:
  • No image is shown in the preview pane if no image has been set.

  • Chinese (Taiwan) (zh-tw)
  • Greek (gr)
  • German (de)

Version 1.1

• The "Multi Language" system is now available. This version ships with English and Italian versions completed. Other languages will be available soon. The editor automatically detects the client language and sets all labels, tooltips and dialog boxes to it, if available. The auto detection and the default language can be set in the fck_config.file.
• Two files can now be created to isolate customizations code from the original source code of the editor: fckeditor.config.js and fckeditor.custom.js. Create these files in the root folder of your web site, if needed. The first one can be used to add or override configurations set on fck_config.js. The second one is used for custom actions and behaviors.
• A problem with relative links and images like "/test/test.doc" has been solved. In prior versions, only with XHTML support enabled, the URL was changed to something like "http://www.mysite.xxx/test/test.doc" (The domain was automatically added). Now the XHTML cleaning procedure gets the URLs exactly how they are defined in the editor’s HTML.

• [SF BUG-712103] The style command is localized, so it depends on the IE language to work. Until version 0.9.5 it was working only over English IE browsers. Now it configures itself using the client's language.
• [SF BUG-726137] On version 0.9.5, some commands (special chars, image, emoticons, ...) remove the next available character before inserting the required content even if no selection was made in the editor. Now the editor replaces only the selected content (if available).
