1. Entirely new package sferyx.javascript.engine which emulates a generic javascript access to all document elements. (Component Edition Enterprise only)
This will work both on Visual editor and Preivew automatically reflecting the state of the editor.
Now you can easily access all document and form elements in a javascript like manner.
Example on accessing form elements:
2. New utilitiy methods added in the SferyxUtility package which eases accessing components through the document elements.
3. Fixes over the numbered/bulleted lists handling and deletion etc.
4. Now Source code pane will also report document events through addDocumentListener
5. Improvements over the paragraph styles: now styles are preserved over different paragraphs when typing.
6. New examples included in the examples folder.
7. htmlEditor.setBrowsingInPreviewEnabled(true); - (Component Edition Enterprise only) will enable browsing in the preview mode. Using this functionality the editor can be used also like a browser.
8. boolean isBrowsingInPreviewEnabled() - returns the state of the browsing features (Component Edition Enterprise only)
9. htmlEditor.setVisualEditorFollowsPreview(true); - will enable the visual editor to reflect changes in the preview. Otherwise the initial page will be preserved. (Component Edition Enterprise only)
10. boolean isVisualEditorFollowsPreview(); - returns the state of the visual editor and the browsing (Component Edition Enterprise only)
11. Preview mode only - new method: void setPreviewModeOnly(boolean mode); - (Component Edition Enterprise only) sets the editor in preview mode only and defacto turns it in a browser component
12. htmlEditor.addFormElementsMouseListener(mouseListener); - will forward mouse events fired on form elements to your mouse listener. This will work both in preview and edit modes.
13. void removeFormElementMouseListener(); - allows mouse listeners to be added to form components inside the HTML document. This way easily can be tracked the user input inside the form elements. Here is example of retrieving of the attributes:
@See the new example ButtonListenersExample.java in the examples folder.
AttributeSetattribs=htmlEditor.getAttributesForComponent((Component)mouseEvent.getSource(), htmlEditor.getSelectedEditorComponent());
This method allows to retrieve easily attributes such as name, id, style etc.
@See the new example ButtonListenersExample.java in the examples folder.
13. setForcedSpanGeneration(true); will force generation of span statements instead of font. In this case some extended style attributes may be added to the generated content.
14. boolean isForsedSpanGeneration(); will return the state of the span generation.
15. CSS no more throws exceptions under JRE 1.5
16. Paragraph Properties now works as expected

public boolean isSingleParagraphSpacing();
This will cause single line spacing paragraph to be generated. Code will include 0 top margin style attribute. This is introduced to simulate the default MS Word behavior.
21. HTML Source document does not generate changedEvents during switching to the source tab. However events are reported correctly when the document is being edited.

24. Now the & in hyperlinks are generated properly following the XHMTL specification.
25. Custom tags handling (Component Edition Enterprise only) Now the editor will try to guess the various custom tags and provide the necessary visualization. You can customize easily the rendering of custom tags using style sheets.
This is quite simple now and is sufficient to do the following:
<style>
my_tag {background-color:red; }
</style>
<my_tag>
Some content here
</my_tag>
