February 25, 2008 - FCKeditor 2.6 Beta released (What's New?)

This release brings to public some amazing new features. Let's welcome the new dialog system, using floating elements with shadows and cool design. It is a high performance system bringing a nicer user experience, avoiding also the annoying warnings from popup blockers.

FCKeditor now supports "document.domain". It means that a web site at www.example.com can use FCKeditor from assets.example.com. This is a must have feature for the professional environment.

Performance features are being introduced with the new inline CSS caching system, making it possible to avoid loading skins and styles from CSS files, reducing the number of requests to the server.

We have also a surprising new achievement included on it... let's leave it for the next news announcement ;)

Have fun, with FCKeditor!

February 21, 2008 - Call for Sponsors!

Here at FCKeditor, we are always investing to make our Open Source initiative a success, offering an amazing text editor. To help us in this sense, we have just launched our Sponsor Opportunities.

FCKeditor is used all around the world. With 2.5 million downloads, it is definitely the most used browser based editor out there. In retribution to the important resources our sponsors provide to the project, we have defined a series of benefits, aiming to give visibility to their initiatives. It's our way to say "Thanks!", in the name of our community.

We have great plans for 2008, including the Open Development Effort. Join us in the amazing challenge!

January 26, 2008 - Started the Open Development Effort!

While the 2.x releases of FCKeditor continue rolling out, we are parallelly planning and developing FCKeditor 3 (code named "V3").

V3 will not only be an amazing piece of software. Its development methodology is to be completely transformed with the Open Development Effort.

The Open Development Effort is our attempt to expand the development of V3 to the public in all its levels: discussions, research, design, coding, documentation, integration and sponsorship. The FCKeditor team will be in touch with people from all around the world, specialized on many different technology aspects, ensuring that all important arguments are being considered before and during the project development.

Join us, and stay in touch! Amazing things are about to happen!
