This update includes important improvements to Joomla 6 compatibility, the Template Manager, and filesystem handling.
Joomla 6 Support
JCE Pro is now fully compatible with Joomla 6. The Backward Compatibility 6 plugin does not need to be enabled to install or use JCE Pro, although other extensions may still require it.
Template Manager defaults and content validation
The Upload and Create Template options are now disabled by default for better security and workflow control. File and content validation has been enhanced when saving or uploading templates and template content is now filtered using the same settings as the Joomla Text Filter.
In addition, new templates created with the Create Template tool can only be saved as plain text (.txt) or Markdown (.md) files.
Template List items - displayed in the Template Manager button menu - are now sorted alphabetically.
EXIF data cleanup for thumbnails
Thumbnail images now have EXIF data removed during creation, preventing incorrect rotation caused by embedded orientation data.
Filesystem Improvements
Various improvements have been made across the filesystem to provide a more predictable and reliable workflow, particularly with regard to parameter inheritance.
Although uncommon but still valid, folder names can now container colons (:)
Fixes
This release also includes numerous fixes and refinements:
- Fixed issues with Key/Value pair parameters.
- Resolved “Upload Failed” errors in JCE Media Fields.
- Fixed issues with Microdata and File Manager dialogs.
- Clipboard configuration now correctly enforces plain-text paste when required.
- General Joomla 6 compatibility improvements.
