JCE 2.3 marks the beginning of support for Joomla! 3.
JCE now supports Joomla! 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0, and will continue to do so up until the release of JCE 3.0 when support for Joomla! 1.5 will be dropped.
Whats new?
Administration changes
The JCE Administration has been refined a little bit, mostly to make it easier to support 3 Joomla! versions - eg: system modal dialogs are now used instead of custom dialogs, custom table styles removed - but a few small changes, such as replacing Yes/No select lists with radio lists make setting some parameters easier (especially when using fingers on a tablet!)
Assign Profiles to Devices
A new "Device" option has been added to the Profiles Setup tab which allows you to specify the device - Desktop, Tablet, Phone - the profile is to be used on.
"Mobile" Toolbar Theme
An experimental "Mobile" Toolbar Theme has been added with bigger buttons. Of course this theme can be used on any device. This theme will be improved and refined as more tests are done on mobile devices.
In addition a sample "Mobile" profile has been included as an example of how one could use the Device assignment and Mobile toolbar theme.
Please note : JCE 2.3.0 is currently in beta and should therefore be used with caution.
Installation and Updating
Follow the Installation Instructions for a new install or update.

This release adds support for Popups, the option to create file links for Google™ Docs Viewer and support for drag&drop upload in the editor window.
Popups
A popups tab has been added to the dialog so popups can be created directly from the File Manager. Currently only JCE MediaBox is supported.
Google™ Docs Viewer
Links for Google™ Docs Viewer can now be created, with the option to create a file link, or embed the document as an iframe.
Drag & Drop Upload
Drag & Drop upload was introduced in JCE 2.2.2 but required support fro each individual plugin. The File Manager now supports drag&drop uplaod for its supported file types, automatically creating links on upload completion, including any layout (icon, date, size) or Google™ Docs Viewer options as set in the File Manager parameters.
Installation and Updating
The File Manager can be updated using the JCE Updates dialog (a valid subscription is required) or downloaded installed using the JCE Installer.

This update fixes a few bugs and introduces a few new features in the JCE Administration. In addition the "Paste" plugin has been renamed to "Clipboard" as it now includes some control over the "Cut" and "Copy" buttons too.
In an effort to provide support for other databases in Joomla! 2.5 and later, all queries used by the editor have been converted to use the JDatabaseQuery method introduced in Joomla! 2.5.
UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.1 fixes an error when opening the Paste or Paste as Plain Text dialog and an SQL error in the JCE Installer in Joomla! 1.5
UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.2 fixes a SQL error when ordering the Profiles and Users lists.
UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.3 fixes an SQL error when upgrading the Profiles table to add a new column, some translation issues and a bug where the Border option would always be checked in the Image Manager etc.
UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.4 has been released to deal with a few bugs not fixed in the previous updates.
Check out the Changelog for a full list of bug fixes and updates.
Administration changes
There are four notable changes in the JCE Administration in this version :
Option to set plugin buttons
Some plugins like Clipboard, Tables and XHTMLXtras include multiple buttons. It is now possible to select which buttons are displayed in the editor toolbar for each plugin.
Add-ons enabled by checkbox
Add-ons for each plugin such as JCE MediaBox popups, Joomla! Links etc. were previously enabled/disabled by selecting an option from a select list. This has now been replaced with a checkbox. A slight change to the layout of these add-ons also makes it easier to distinguish the parameters of each layout.
Option to set a default popup
You can now set a default popup option for the Link dialog, Image Manager Extended etc.
Additional default parameters for some plugins
The Link and Image Manager plugins now include options to set default values for all form elements in the dialog.
Onwards to JCE 2.3
Work continues on JCE 2.3, which will be compatible with Joomla! 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0. We hope to have this release available some time around the end of October.
Installation and Updating
Updating to JCE 2.2.8 from existing JCE 2.x versions can be done using the JCE Updater, or the Joomla! Update Manager in Joomla! 2.5. Alternatively, follow the Installation Instructions for a new install or update.

This update fixes a few bugs from JCE 2.2.6, includes some Administration changes, fixes in language handling as well as reducing the number of language files to translate.
UPDATE : JCE 2.2.7.2 fixes an error when saving after inserting WMV or MOV files and a bug that prevented individual plugin parameters (eg: File Directory Path) being applied.
UPDATE : JCE 2.2.7.1 fixes an error when using JCE with extensions that do not load JModel (Widgetkit etc.)
Administration changes
There are two notable changes in the JCE Administration in the this version :
Button Legend removed
The "Button Legend" has been removed from the Profiles "Features & Layout" tab. Each button in the Editor Layout now includes a tooltip containing the button description.
Users list changed
The "Users" list in the Profiles "Setup" tab has been changed to make it easier to remove individual users. Each user "item" in the list contains a delete icon to remove it if required.
Language Changes
A number of javascript language files have been removed from the package. This is a step towards reducing the complexity in translating JCE, and as all languages will be loaded using the INI format used by Joomla! in JCE 2.3 helps prepare for this change.
In addition to this, some changes have been made to fix issues with missing language files - the editor will default to English if some core language files are missing, and for each plugin that has a missing language file.
Onwards to JCE 2.3
Work continues on JCE 2.3, which will be compatible with Joomla! 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0 (Although this version may not be available when Joomla! 3.0 Stable is released, we hope to have it out as soon after that as possible).
All Add-ons (Plugins, Extensions and Languages) in JCE 2.3 will be installed using the Joomla! Installer in JCE 2.3. The JCE Installer will be removed. This is intended to simplify the administration of the editor and make creating language packs and add-ons for JCE easier.
Check out the Changelog for a full list of bug fixes and updates.
Installation and Updating
Updating to JCE 2.2.7 from existing JCE 2.x versions can be done using the JCE Updater, or the Joomla! Update Manager in Joomla! 2.5. Alternatively, follow the Installation Instructions for a new install or update.

OK....JCE 2.2.5 was a bit of a disaster, or to be a little less harsh, a mis-step. Perhaps the "force" was not with me this last week. Despite numerous updates over the last 2 days, new bugs kept appearing. I blame you, dear user, for being so good at finding and reporting them. Thanks for that.
So, in an effort to close the chapter on JCE 2.2.5, and get away from those 4 digit version numbers, I give you JCE 2.2.6!
Please, be gentle...
