Release highlights

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v19.1.0.

This release further refines the table plugin, brings a helper for convenient typing in tight places before or after widgets and brings a major change in our code infrastructure. Most notable enhancements are:

• Pasting within a table, with different table selection — which marks an end of our Table selection stage III task.
• New widget feature, allowing to type before or after a widget in case there's no space around it.
• Project migration to a monorepo architecture.

But we did not stop there, as the release comes with several bug fixes too:

• Entities handling in code blocks.
• Potential editor crash when removing a column.
• Editor crash when inserting a table row/column with another widget selected in a cell.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

• media-embed: The MediaEmbedUI#form property was removed from the API.
• table: The cropTable() utility method was removed. Use the cropTableToDimensions() instead.
• theme-lark: A new --ck-color-focus-border-coordinates CSS custom property has been added and the existing --ck-color-focus-border property now uses it internally. If your integration overrides the latter, we recommend you update the former to avoid compatibility issues with various editor UI features.
