2.9.83​

20 February 2025

Added​

• Basic Dialog Support for Tables, IFrames, File Manager, and Image Manager Extended on small devices (e.g., phones). This provides a more streamlined, mobile-friendly experience, previously only available for Image Manager, Media Manager, and Link dialogs.
• Strict Media Embeds Option for the Media plugin to control how media items are embedded (e.g., <video> for video files, <iframe> for YouTube). This option was previously enabled by default but is now configurable. It is recommended to keep it enabled for security reasons to ensure proper media embedding.
• Unordered List Options Dialog for easier customization of unordered lists.
• Classes and Type Options added to Ordered List and Unordered List dialogs for more control over list styling.

Changed​

• Paste Media URL as Link: Using CTRL + SHIFT + V (CMD + SHIFT + V on macOS) to paste a media URL (e.g., YouTube) will now paste the URL as a link, rather than embedding the media.
• Permitted File Extensions UI: Improved the UI for creating and removing permitted file extensions. Custom extensions now remain editable via an input field, and a trash icon is available for removing them.
• Dialogs on Small Devices: For small mobile devices (e.g., iPhone), dialogs such as Tables, Image Manager, Link, Image Manager Extended, Media Manager, IFrames, and Template Manager will now use a simpler Basic Dialog automatically.

Fixed​

• PRO Columns Layout 1-3-1: Fixed issue where this layout was not processed correctly when saving or switching to/from the Code tab.
• PRO Image Manager Extended: Fixed issue where selecting an image with the Popup Type option enabled would not automatically fill the URL field in the Popup tab.
• URL Sync: Resolved issue where URL Sync would not work with the core Image Manager.
• Figure Selection: CTRL + Click now correctly selects the entire <figure> element, including its contents.
• Cut/Copy Functionality for Figures: CTRL + C and CTRL + X now copy or cut the entire figure element, including the image inside it.
• PRO Cursor Position in Code Editor: Fixed issue where the cursor position at the end of the current line in the editor was not updated correctly when switching between the editor and Code tab.
• Width and Height in Popup Tab: Fixed issue where changing the existing Width and Height values in the Popup tab for dialogs like Link, Image Manager Extended, etc. would have no effect.
• Refocus Option: Fixed the refocus option (experimental) to restore the cursor position after saving articles when enabled by setting a Custom Configuration Variable with a Key of "refocus" and Value of "true".
• YouTube URL Processing: Fixed issue with YouTube URLs not being processed correctly when inserting a video, leading to JavaScript errors.
• Mastodon URLs: Fixed issue where links containing the @ symbol (e.g., Mastodon URLs) were not being inserted as links.
• PRO Media Manager URL Processing: Fixed issue where Media Manager URL values would incorrectly remove query parameters, preventing proper processing of YouTube URLs.
