v41.4.1

Note

This release (v41.4.1) addresses a critical issue found in v41.4.0. Below is the changelog, which includes the changes originally introduced in v41.4.0.

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v41.4.1.

Release highlights

We have enhanced CKEditor 5 to improve accessibility and user experience further. Screen reader announcements have been expanded to include code blocks, images, and lists, enhancing navigability for visually impaired users. Additionally, the editor now better adheres to accessibility standards by respecting user preferences for reduced motion, and we have improved handling of color settings in high contrast modes.

We have also added menu bar support for the multi-root editor.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • ui: The region name argument of the AriaLiveAnnouncer#announce() method has been dropped. Please check out the latest API documentation for more information.
  • The ckeditor5 package now lists all other official open-source @ckeditor/ckeditor5-* packages as dependencies. This is a preparatory step for the upcoming new installation methods. These changes will transform the ckeditor5 package into an aggregate for all official packages, simplifying module imports.

Features

  • code-block: Introduced screen reader announcements for entering or exiting code blocks in the editor content. Closes #16053. (commit)
  • editor-multi-root: Added the menu bar support for multi-root editor. (commit)
  • format-painter: Introduced the keyboard shortcuts for copying formatting in the document editor (Ctrl+Shift+C) and paste (Ctrl+Shift+V). Added the ability to cancel copying formatting using the Esc key.
  • image: Introduced screen reader announcements for various actions and events in the editor. (commit)
  • image: Added the custom image width input option to the image toolbar as an alternative to drag-and-drop resizing. (commit)
  • link: An error message should appear in the link editing form when submitting an empty link. (commit)
  • list: Introduced screen reader announcements for various actions and events in the editor. (commit)
  • media-embed: An error message should appear when submitting an empty URL in the media embed form. (commit)
  • ui: Implemented the ck-media-forced-colors and ck-media-default-colors mixins for detecting forced colors (for example high contrast mode on Windows). See #14907. (commit)
  • ui: Introduced screen reader announcements for various actions and events in the editor. (commit)
  • utils: Implemented the env#isMediaForcedColors property for forced colors detection (for example high contrast mode on Windows). See #14907. (commit)
  • utils: Implemented the env#isMotionReduced property to discover reduced motion preferences. (commit)
  • Editor UI should now respect the user's preferences for reduced motion (WCAG 2.1, Success Criterion 2.3.3). (commit)
  • Added bundles for new installation methods. See #15502. (commit)
  • Introduced accessible screen reader announcements for various actions and events in the editor, including text case change, AI Assistant interactions, template list filtering, and document exports to Word and PDF.

Bug fixes

  • ai: Improved accessibility of the UI by setting correct ARIA roles on menus and lists.
  • autoformat: Pressing the Backspace key after autoformat should retain the typed content after undoing the block format change. Closes #16240. (commit)
  • collaboration-core: Fixed editor crashing due to a missing plugin when the revision history was opened. This happened in some integrations that use custom plugins and specific code minifiers.
  • comments: The container element for comments received the .ck-content CSS class to have consistent styles in both edit and preview modes.
  • comments: Restoring revision with comment threads that were removed should no longer crash the editor in the asynchronous load and save integration type.
  • engine: The HTML <template> elements are now properly handled in downcast and upcast conversion. (commit)
  • engine: An inline filler should be rendered after the <br> element just before a block filler so that scrolling to selection could properly find the client rect. Closes #14028. (commit)
  • export-pdf: Improved accessibility of the feature button while an action is performed in the background and the UI is marked as busy.
  • export-word: Improved accessibility of the feature button while an action is performed in the background and the UI is marked as busy.
  • format-painter: Improved accessibility of the UI by setting correct ARIA roles on menus and lists.
  • image: An image should not jump upon resizing in a container with padding. Closes #14698. (commit)
  • import-word: Improved accessibility of the feature button while an action is performed in the background and the UI is marked as busy.
  • List: Order of the List and ListProperties plugins should not affect the appearance of the icon in the toolbar. Closes #16192. (commit)
  • minimap: The minimap <iframe> element should not be unnecessarily exposed to assistive technologies. (commit)
  • pagination: The pagination pages container should not get focused during the Tab key navigation across the website.
  • restricted-editing: Improved accessibility of the restricted editing dropdown by setting the correct ARIA role on the toolbar menu. (commit)

v41.3.1

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v41.3.1.

The release addresses a vulnerability identified in the protobuf.js package (CVE-2023-36665), used within our @ckeditor/ckeditor5-operations-compressor package for real-time collaboration.

Our analysis confirms that this vulnerability does not affect CKEditor 5. None of the vulnerable code in the protobuf.js package is utilized in CKEditor 5, as we use protobuf’s minimal build type.

This release primarily aims to ensure that our customers using real-time collaboration features do not encounter unnecessary security alerts from their scanning tools. We are committed to maintaining the highest security standards, and this update reflects our ongoing efforts to safeguard user environments proactively.

Bug fixes

  • template: Fixed the TemplateDefinition#data type in the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-template config. Now, it should be possible to define a string or a function returning a string instead of just a function returning a string.

Release highlights

Multi-level lists ⭐️

CKEditor 5's latest update brings a new premium feature: the Multi-level lists feature. It allows for easy creation and modification of numbered lists with counters (1., 1.1., 1.1.1), crucial for clear referencing and hierarchical organization in complex documents. The feature ensures compatibility with Microsoft Word. When lists with such formatting are pasted to the editor, the numbering format and counters are retained.

Paste from Office improvements for lists

No more breaking numbering of lists when they are pasted from Office. Previously whenever a list were split by paragraphs, the counter started again from 1. With our latest improvement, the counter is correctly preserved. Moreover, if you use Paste from Office Enhanced ⭐️, the paragraphs will be merged into list items, to ensure proper, semantic content.

⚠️ If you use the LegacyList plugin to prolong the migration to the new list implementation, bear in mind that from this release Paste from Office stops working for the lists' implementation you are using. Migrate to List to maintain pasting lists functionality.

Menu bar

The menu bar is a user interface component popular in large editing desktop and online packages. It gives you access to all features provided by the editor, organized in menus and categories and improves usability of the editor, keeping the toolbar can be simple and tidy. This is especially welcome in heavily-featured editor integrations.

The current release brings this battle-hardened solution to CKEditor 5! The menu bar can easily be enabled in selected editor types, comes with a handy features preset and is also highly configurable.

Updated keyboard navigation

This release brings in a fix for keyboard navigation with the Tab key. Before, it followed the default browser behavior, which could produce somewhat random effects. For example, when the cursor was positioned at the end of the end of the editable, the Tab keystroke could navigate you to the image caption on the top.

We changed it to an approach in which the Tab (and Shift+Tab), navigate to the next focusable field or an element outside the editor, so that the users can quickly navigate fields or links on the page. The navigation in the editor itself should be done by arrows, rather.

There is one exception to the Tab behavior. When a widget is selected, the Tab key will move the selection to the first nested editable, such as a caption of an image. Pressing the Esc key, while inside a nested editable, will move the selection to the closest ancestor widget, for example: moving from an image caption to selecting the whole image widget.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • image: The CSS custom property --ck-color-image-caption-highligted-background has been renamed to --ck-color-image-caption-highlighted-background. Please make sure to update your custom CSS accordingly.
  • real-time-collaboration: The username displayed next to the user marker in the edited content is no longer a CSS pseudo-element. Use the .ck-user__marker-tooltip CSS class to customize usernames instead.
  • ai: When config.ai.openAI.requestParameters or config.ai.aws.requestParameters are set, the set value will fully overwrite the default value. Most importantly, if you do not specify some properties in requestParameters they will not be set to default. For example, if you set openAI.requestParameters to { max_tokens: 1000 }, the request parameters will be set exactly to that object. Make sure that you pass all necessary parameters in requestParameters. Important: this change happened in version 41.2.0 but has not been previously announced in the changelog.
  • upload: The FileDialogButtonView class has been moved from ckeditor5-upload to ckeditor5-ui. Please update your import paths accordingly (was: import { FileDialogButtonView } from 'ckeditor5/src/upload.js';, is: import { FileDialogButtonView } from 'ckeditor5/src/ui.js';).
  • theme-lark: The default vertical spacing around ButtonView in ListItemView (--ck-list-button-padding) has been reduced for better readability. This affects the presentation of various editor features that use this type of UI (headings, font size, font family, etc.). You can restore the previous value by setting --ck-list-button-padding: calc(.2 * var(--ck-line-height-base) * var(--ck-font-size-base)) calc(.4 * var(--ck-line-height-base) * var(--ck-font-size-base)); in your custom styles sheet.
  • comments: From this release on, the UI of the Comments Archive feature is displayed in a dialog instead of a dropdown.
  • revision-history: The UI for saving the new revision is displayed in a dialog instead of a dropdown.

Features

  • comments: Partially selected comment markers will no longer be copied unless fully selected, regardless of the copy mode set in the configuration.
  • list-multi-level: Introduced the multi-level list with legal style list numbering.
  • track-changes: Introduced the multi-level list with legal style list numbering.
  • ui: Added the [tabindex] DOM attribute support to the InputBase class. (commit)
  • ui: Added the [aria-label] attribute support to the InputBase class. (commit)
  • ui: Implemented the application menu bar that contains various options and commands for controlling and navigating the editor. Closes #15894. (commit)
  • utils: Added the Page Up and Page Down keys to the keyboard utilities (keyCodes, getEnvKeystrokeText()). (commit)

Bug fixes

  • ai: Increased the priority of AI selection markers to display them over the overlapping comments.
  • alignment: Tooltips for buttons inside the alignment dropdown should not obscure adjacent buttons. Closes #16109. (commit)
  • comments: Fixed issue causing the editor to throw collection-add-item-invalid-index error in some scenarios when some comment threads were resolved and some were unlinked (removed from content).
  • document-outline: Should not throw errors while pasting and cutting in document outline feature.
  • engine: Copying the content with markers will no longer trigger the change:data event. Closes #15943. (commit)
  • heading: An accessible button label should describe the state and the name of the feature for optimal UX. (commit)
  • language: An accessible button label should describe the state and the name of the feature for optimal UX. (commit)
  • minimap: The minimap should not steal DOM focus while tabbing across the document. (commit)
  • pagination: The pagination navigation buttons should both scroll the document and move the selection (accessibility). Added keyboard shortcuts for navigating through the document.
  • pagination: The pagination page number input should not participate in web page navigation on tab key press to comply with WCAG recommendations (see ckeditor/ckeditor5#16025).
