📃 Iteration 26 roadmap 📃

[mlewand]

This post outlines our targets for the upcoming iteration. The goal is to provide a summary of where we are going.

New features

• RTL – merged to master🎉
• Image resize handler – merged to master🎉
• Paste from Google Docs support
  • basic support – 🎉 Merged to master.
  • improve list support – 🎉 Merged to master.
• Interactive checkboxes (a.k.a. TODO list) – 🎉 Merged to master.
• Simple image upload adapter – 🎉 Merged to master.
• Export content styles – 🎉 Merged to master.
• Error handing improvements – 🎉 Merged to master.

Collaborative features

• User roles:
  • Introduce commentator and reader roles for users in real-time collaboration.
  • Introduce an API to get the user role.
  • The editor will switch automatically to the read-only or comment-only mode if the user has a corresponding role.
• Adding an author to each operation. It will make it much simpler to find out who was the last person that edited the document in the real-time collaboration mode.
• Narrow sidebar – An unfinished edit or unsaved comment will be shown even if the panel is hidden.

Bug fixes

• Multiple create() method calls on a single element should throw an error – 🎉 Merged to master.

There are more minor issues planned for iteration 26. See the list of issues assigned to the current iteration for more details.

The code freeze is planned to happen between the 19th and 21st of August, followed by releasing npm packages on August 26th. Social followup will happen between 27th and 29th of August.

Please keep in mind that these plans are subject to change and even though we put all our energy to deliver all the items mentioned above, the iteration plan may change at any point.

We created a preview of our upcoming image resize. Feel free to give it a spin and share your feedback with us!

Also we merged Paste from Google Docs enhancements recently. You can check it by building latest CKEditor 5 version from the source.

Also we decided to push back the release by one week to iron out couple of outstanding issues. See the "Schedule" section in the main post to see updated dates.

RTL support has been just merged to the master branch. Thank you for your involvement!

[mlewand]

We just have merged Interactive checkboxes (a.k.a. TODO list) 🎉. It can be previewed by building editor from the latest master branch and adding TodoList plugin.

[mlewand]

Export content styles feature has just been merged to the master branch 🎉

[mlewand]

The image resize has been just merged into the master branch 🎉

[mlewand]

Just a quick update: this time our QA took a little longer than expected, so npm package is scheduled to be released on the 26th of August.

[mlewand]

Version 12.4.0 has been published on npm 🎉 The social followup and next iteration roadmap will happen later this week.

Thank you for all the feedback we received during this iteration.

@mlewand doc links on the release page don't work (all of them are 404). I remember this was the case with the previous releases as well so I assume this is somehow intentional. But it is quite annoying, especially since there's nothing else to do than just check periodically when they come up ...

[mlewand]

@zadam can you point me to the links that results with a 404? I'm not aware of such, and yes, that would be annnoying. In case you're talking about e.g. RTL feature guide it works fine (and was working yesterday as well) unless there's some issue with cdn or something.

@mlewand Links on the release page all return 404:

• https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/build/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/image.html#resizing-images
• https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/build/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/todo-lists.html
• https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/build/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/ui-language.html
• https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/build/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/paste-from-office/paste-from-google-docs.html
• https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/build/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/mathtype.html
• https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/build/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/spell-checker.html

By some experimentation I found out that if I have to remove "ckeditor5/build" from the URLs and then they work ...

@zadam Thanks for noticing! The links are fixed.

Haha, me generating them manually (before we published the docs) had to end like this :D Thanks for reporting!
