  ✅ MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • 💅 basic-styles: The bold icon has been moved to the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-core package.
  • 📦 comments: Introduced external comments and suggestions which require special handling when saving them in the database. This will concern you, if you use non real-time collaboration and the import from Word feature. Read more about it in the migration guide.
  • 📦 comments: The templates for CommentView and SuggestionThreadView have changed. This may concern you, if you use custom annotation views or templates and the import from Word feature.
  • 📦 paragraph: The paragraph icon has been moved to the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-core package.
  • 📦 widget: Renamed WidgetResizer#visibleResizer to selectedResizer. Resizer#isEnabled no longer directly changes resizer visibility. Instead, Resizer#isVisible was introduced. Resizer#isVisible value depends on Resizer#isEnabled and (new) Resizer#isSelected. This may concern you if you implemented a custom widget that can be resized.
  • 📦 comments: Comment input editor is now initialized on demand instead of being created in the CommentInputView constructor and initialized on render. CommentInputView#editor is now null right after the instance is created. This may concern you, if you use custom comment views.
  • 📦 comments: Annotations with targets set to markers or DOM elements inside the editor editable must now be registered in EditorAnnotations#registerAnnotation() after they are created. This will concern you, if you have a custom feature that creates Annotation instances inside the editor. This does not affect the comments outside the editor feature.

  🔋 Features

  • 📦 comments: Introduced integration for the import from Word feature to handle comments and suggestion included in the imported Word file.
  • 📦 comments: Introduced support for comments and suggestions that come from an external source (e.g. an imported document). Annotations for these items will be labelled to differentiate them from regular comments and suggestions. To mark an annotation as external, set the @external attribute when creating a comment or a suggestion.
  • 📦 html-support: The General HTML Support (GHS) feature can exclude elements from the allowed list of elements. (commit)
  • 📦 import-word: Added a new package (@ckeditor/ckeditor5-import-word), that allows importing Word documents into CKEditor 5.
  • 📦 track-changes: Introduced integration for the import from Word feature to handle comments and suggestions included in the imported Word file.
  • 📦 track-changes: Introduced support for comments and suggestions that come from an external source (e.g. an imported document). Annotations for these items will be labelled to differentiate them from regular comments and suggestions. To mark an annotation as external, set the @external attribute when creating a comment or a suggestion.
