There were also a few bug fixes:

MAJOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

• build-decoupled-document: The official preconfigured decoupled document build now ships with the ImageResize plugin enabled by default. Learn more about it in the Migration to v.28.x guide.
• image: The Image plugin works as a glue for both the ImageBlock and ImageInline features now (previously it only supported block images). If you do not want inline images to be allowed, consider replacing the Image plugin with ImageBlock in your editor configuration. Otherwise, all images without the <figure> wrapper will be loaded into the editor content as inline images, which in some cases may affect content semantics and styling. Check the udpated image installation guide for more details about this change.
• image: The ImageEditing plugin is no longer standalone, as the majority of its logic was extracted to the ImageBlockEditing and ImageInlineEditing plugins. The logic remaining in the ImageEditing is common for both ImageBlockEditing and ImageInlineEditing plugins.
• image: The image caption is no longer displayed automatically when the user selects a block image. Instead, its presence is controlled using the 'toggleImageCaption' toolbar button and a ToggleImageCaptionCommand for better integration with the revamped image styles system.
• image: The API of the image features has changed, please make sure to update your integrations.
• image: The linked image indicator (icon) rendered as a <span> with the .ck-link-image_icon CSS class has been removed. To alter the look of the indicator (including the icon), please use the figure.image > a::after (for linked block images) and a span.image-inline::after (for linked inline images) CSS selectors instead.
• image: The srcsetAttributeConverter() and modelToViewAttributeConverter() conversion helpers now require the imageType parameter.
• table: The in-cell pseudo-paragraph used for data tables is no longer styled using the inline style attribute but a .ck-table-bogus-paragraph CSS class instead.
• Several plugins are not loaded automatically as dependencies of other plugins anymore. From now on, they need to be provided by the editor creator manually (via the config.plugins configuration option). Learn more about it in the Migration to v.29.0.0 guide. This list includes:
  • The CKFinder plugin is no longer automatically importing the Image plugin as a dependency.
  • The EasyImage plugin is no longer automatically importing the Image plugin as a dependency.
• Several functions are no longer a part of the public API. This list includes:
  • getSelectedImageWidget()
  • getViewImgFromWidget()
  • isImageAllowed()
  • isImage()
  • isImageWidget()
  • toImageWidget()
  • captionElementCreator()
  • isCaption()
  • checkSelectionOnObject()
• Several functions or constants have been renamed. The list of changes includes:
  • The getCaptionFromImage() helper is now available as getCaptionFromImageModelElement()
  • The matchImageCaption() helper is now available as matchImageCaptionViewElement()
  • The defaultIcons are now available as DEFAULT_ICONS
  • The defaultStyles are now available as DEFAULT_OPTIONS
  • The findOptimalInsertionPosition() helper is now findOptimalInsertionRange() and returns a model range. Also, instead of searching for a position next to the currently selected block, it will now attempt to replace that block (see #9102)
  • The isImageAllowed() helper is now available as isLinkableElement()
  • Some helpers from the image utils module (@ckeditor/ckeditor5-image/src/image/utils.js) have been moved to the ImageUtils plugin. The helpers are still accessible via the editor.plugins.get( 'ImageUtils' ) namespace, for instance, editor.plugins.get( 'ImageUtils' ).insertImage( ... )
• The API of several functions or modules has been changed. Refer to the documentation to learn more. This list of changes includes:
  • common image converters
  • various image caption utils
  • the insertImage() helper
  • the insertMedia() helper
• The default user permissions have been changed. Now, by default, it is possible to remove other users' comment threads. This applies to non-real-time editing integrations and to real-time editing integrations using the writer role. This behavior can be changed using the Permissions plugin API (for non-real-time editing integrations) or by setting permissions for a given user in the user token (for integrations using Cloud Services).

Features

• code-block: When inserting a new code block, instead of applying the default language (the first in the dropdown view), the feature now re-uses the language of the last inserted code block. Closes #8722. (commit)
• collaboration-core: Introduced the Permissions plugin. Now it is possible to manage the editor's level of access using permissions. See the user roles and permissions guide.
• comments: Introduced the CommentsRepository#isReadOnly() method.
• comments: Introduced the CommentThread#isRemovable property which is related to current permissions. By default, comment threads can now be removed by any user.
• engine: Improved engine view matcher with new pattern syntax allowing to match attribute keys using regular expressions. Unified the pattern syntax between attributes, styles, and classes. Closes #9872. (commit)
• engine: Added the special expand option to the StylesMap.getStyleNames() and view Element.getStyleNames() methods allowing to expand shorthand style properties. (commit)
• engine: Introduced the batchType option in editor.data.set() which can be used to preserve the undo/redo steps and to add an additional item to the undo stack. Note that it will still replace the whole content and should not be used with real-time collaboration. (commit)
• html-support: Introduced the General HTML Support feature. Closes #9970. (commit)
• image: Introduced support for inline images in editor content. Available out–of–the–box in all ready–to–use editor builds, inline images can be uploaded, styled, resized, and linked and complement the already supported block images. See the image feature overview guide to see inline images in action. For more information about breaking changes, migration path, and tips, check out the migration to v29.0.0 guide. (commit)
