ckeditor5 44.3.0

on Node.js NPM

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v44.3.0.

Release Highlights

This release brings a couple of minor improvements and bug fixes:

• Link Decorators: We fixed the behavior of the multiple manual link decorators that set the rel attribute. The fix happened so deep in the engine that we improved the overall performance of the editor slightly as well.
• Added a new EmptyBlock plugin: From now on, new plugin prevents adding   to the output data of blocks, works similarly to the fillEmptyBlocks configuration in CKEditor 4.
• Support for the <hr> element in the General HTML Support plugin enhanced: attributes of the <hr> element are now properly preserved if configuration allows it.
• Emoji: We enhanced emoji support for better compatibility with users' older devices.

For more details, see the changelog below.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

• engine: The ViewConsumable.consumablesFromElement() is removed and replaced with the view.Element#_getConsumables() internal method. You should use ViewConsumable.createFrom() to create consumables if needed.
• engine: The ViewElementConsumables now accepts and outputs only normalized data. The ViewConsumable still accepts normalized or non-normalized input.
• engine: The Matcher#match() and Matcher#matchAll() output is now normalized. The MatchResult#match now contains normalized data compatible with changes in the ViewConsumable.

Features

• engine: Export the SchemaContext class from package. Closes #18003. (commit)
• html-support: Added support for the <hr> element. Closes #12973. (commit)
• html-support: Add the EmptyBlock plugin that prevents adding   to output data. (commit)

Bug fixes

• collaboration-core: User initials will now be generated based on the words that start with letters, ensuring that only valid alphabetic characters are used in the initials.
• comments: Annotations will no longer be lost during real-time collaboration when a user removes and immediately reverts (undo) content containing comment markers.
• comments: The editor will no longer crash when one user removes content containing a comment that another user is editing.
• engine: The link [rel] attribute will now allow mixing manual link decorators for the same attribute, as it will be now handled as a token list. Closes #13985, Closes #6436. (commit)
• mention: Mention should not be wrapped with an additional <span> when GHS is enabled. Closes #15329. (commit)
• ui: Fixed an issue where the first selected color was applied instead of the second selected color when using the font color picker for the first time after loading the page. Closes #17069. (commit)
• typing: Removing a nested editable does not remove an entire widget when the selection is placed at the beginning of that element. (commit)

Other changes

• clipboard: Export the viewToPlainText() function. Closes #17950. (commit)
• collaboration-core: Introduced a new configuration option: config.users.getInitialsCallback. It allows providing a custom callback function for user initials generation.

• emoji: Icons representing categories in the grid come from the same Unicode version to avoid rendering the non-supported ones. (commit)
