Aloha.Editor Changelogs

---

Before this change, plugins loaded the necessary css automatically.
Now, it is necessary to include aloha/css/aloha.css to get the css
that is necessary to make plugins work.

---

define([‘aloha/jquery‘, function($) { });

must be changed to

define([‘jquery‘, function($) { });

---

Due to a complete re-implementation of the Aloha user interface in
the form of the ui-plugin, most of the ui specific Aloha API has
changed.

• FloatingMenu – removed
• Aloha.ui – removed

Affects
Aloha.ui.AttributeField
Aloha.ui.Button
Aloha.ui.MultiSplitButton
Aloha.isMessageVisible
Aloha.hideMessage
Aloha.ui.MultiSplitButton.idCounter
Aloha.showMessage
Aloha.i18n
Plugin.i18n (has been deprecated for some time now)

• Aloha.Message – removed
• Aloha.settings.plugins.table.summaryinsidebar – meaning changed

This setting decided whether the summary was displayed either in
the side bar or in the floating-menu. This setting now only
decides whether or not a summary is displayed in the sidebar.

The table-plugin defines a component with the name
tableSummary. It is up to the toolbar configuration whether or not
this component is displayed in the toolbar.

• image-plugin – the following settings are obsolete

Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.oneTab
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.insert
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.meta
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.reset
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.align
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.margin
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.crop
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.resize
Aloha.settings.plugins.image.ui.aspectRatioToggle

It is now up to the toolbar configuration whether or not and how
to display these components.

• Selection.isFloatingMenuVisible – removed

All settings associated with the removed components do not have any
effect any more.

Most Aloha css rules have been re-implemented.

In particular, the Aloha block handles now have z-index 10000, the
floating menu has 10100, and Aloha dialogs have 10200. The sidebar
continues to have a z-index of 999999999.

The new common/ui plugin is now required for the user interface to
be shown. This plugin is not loaded automatically. Most plugins
require a user interface and will fail to load if this plugin is not
configured to be loaded.

The requirejs plugins order! and jquery-plugin! have been removed.

Many plugins exposed buttons, attribute-field and multi-split-button
components as non-private members. For example, as in the case of
the cite plugin, buttons were pushed onto the exposed
multi-split-button of the Format plugin. Most of these exposed
components were removed.

The removal of the Ext.* namespace and the ExtJs css may
inadvertently affect the behaviour and display of any site that
includes Aloha.

In particular the trim() function on the String object was provided
by ExtJs for older versions of IE. Since ExtJs is gone, calling this
function will now probably cause errors on older versions of
IE. jQuery.trim() may be used as an alternative.

See the ui.html guide for more information about the new UI.

---

The combined and minified aloha-full.js will contain the call to
$.noConflict to preserve behaviour with earlier Aloha builds

The combined and minified aloha-bare.js, or the unminified and
uncombined form used during development, will not contain the call
to $.noConflict.

Aloha now loads jQuery asynchronously, unless the user passes in a
jQuery instance himself. It is difficult to predictably call
$.noConflict after loading jquery asynchronously – the global jQuery
and $ variables may or may not be set to the jQuery loaded by Aloha
for some time after loading has finished, resulting in possibly
unpredictable behaviour if multiple jQuery instances are used.

It is up to the user to load jQuery, call noConflict himself, and
pass jQuery into Aloha via Aloha.settings.predefinedModules or
Aloha.settings.jQuery.

---

jQuery.isBoolean – Instead consider typeof x === ‘boolean‘.
jQuery.isEmpty

---

The jQuery.isNumeric extension added to jQuery by Aloha was removed
to account for jQuery‘s own isNumeric function added in 1.7.

---

The browser plugin is obsolete. Please see linkbrowser and
imagebrowser plugins.

---

src/lib/aloha/extalohatreeloader.js
src/lib/aloha/uibrowser.js – src/lib/aloha/ecma5.js

These files are not in use by any of the main Aloha plugins and as
such are deemed obsolete. These files were never loaded and their
removal should not have any side-effect.

Custom plugins should be checked for a possible dependency on these
files.

---

This change can be ignored if aloha.js is loaded in a page where
only a single script element refers to a file with this name and if
this script include is also the one carrying the data-aloha-plugins
attribute, and no other script include is carrying this attribute – this should normally be the case. If this is not the case, aloha may
not load correctly due to this change.

The exact rules are now as follows:

If Aloha.settings.baseUrl is not specified, it will be taken from
the first script element that has a data-aloha-plugins attribute,
or, if there is no such script element, the first script element of
which the src attribute matches /\/aloha.js$/.

If Aloha.settings.plugins.load is not specified, it will be taken
from the data-aloha-plugins attribute of the first script element
carrying this attribute.

---

- tagHierarchy – replacingElements – allowedToStealElements

These properties are now maps of maps instead of maps of lists.

---

Aloha.define was removed as it didn‘t serve any purpose

---

The jquery.store plugin was used for persisting the floating menu
position and pinned state. The functionality provided by
jquery.store has been replaced with amplify.store.

The jquery.json plugin has been removed since the functionality
provided by this module is already provided by util/json2.

This also fixes the problem that pinning the floating menu was not
persisted in IE8 and below.

---

For aloha development the user must now load requirejs himself
before loading aloha.js.

When using a built version of Aloha, it‘s possible to choose between
aloha-bare.js, which doesn‘t include requirejs (or jQuery), and
aloha-full.js, which does include requirejs (and jQuery).
