JCE 2.1 has been released. This update includes numerous fixes, improvements to the Profiles Layout editor, improved HTML5 support and fixes for 3 security issues - upgrading to this version is recommended.
Security Updates
Thanks to Secunia for alerting us to 3 security issues which have been addressed in this release :
- Improved filtering of input entered into the Search field in the Profiles list
- Improved file name and path checks when performing filesystem operations (delete, rename)
- Removed chunking support on uploading and improved checks on uploaded file types.
Profiles Layout Editor
The Editor Profiles Feature page has seen a few improvements, and now includes all relevant layout parameters (width, height, toolbar position etc.) Changes to these parameters will also reflect in the Editor Layout allowing you to see what the Office Blue theme with a Center aligned toolbar for example, will look like before saving.
HTML5 Improvements
One of the advantages to the TinyMCE 3.5 update is improved support for HTML5. A new Visualblocks button improves on the block element display previously available in the Visual Characters button, adding the new HTML5 block elements - section, article, hgroup, aside, figure as well as dl, dt and dd. All these elements are also included in the Format list (users upgrading from previous version will have to enable these in Editor Parameters)
The Format and Styles lists now also show font and text styles (where available) of the elements in the lists. For example, a Heading1 item in the list will show the correct size, font and colour as styled in the template stylesheet.
Anchor support in Joomla! Content Links
Following numerous requests, anchors are now included in Joomla! Content links. Articles are checked for anchor links and thses are included below the main article link (see below)
JCE File Browser Quick Icon
The JCE File Browser is now available from the Joomla! Control Panel as a Quick Icon Module item in Joomla! 1.5 and a Quick Icon Plugin in Joomla! 2.5
The File Browser will display in a Joomla! modal popup using the Editor Profile (File Directory Path, Permitted File Extensions etc.) assigned to the current user.
Updating to JCE 2.1
Updating to JCE 2.1 from a previous JCE 2.0 version can be done using the JCE Updates dialog (available from the JCE Control Panel) or using the Update Manager in Joomla! 2.5. Alternatively update by installing the new version over the old using the Joomla! Installer.

This release focuses on fixing a few bugs, includes an update to TinyMCE and adds 2 new parameters and support for MS SQL.
MS SQL Support
Joomla! 2.5 added support for MS SQL and this release includes the necessary sql files and a few core changes - specifically to the Link Browser - to support it too. MS SQL support has been tested on Microsoft Webmatrix.
New Parameters
Prohibited Attribute Values
JCE 2.0.16 introduced the Prohibited Elements and Prohibited Attributes parameters to allow for greater control over the editor content. Prohibited Attribute Values is now added to this list of "Security Parameters" and allows for certain attribute values to be removed based on a CSS 2.1 / 3 syntax.
The parameter supports the "is equal to", "starts with" and "ends with" selectors and can target a specific element of all elements in the content.
For example, to prevent base64 encoded urls being used for images, entering img[src^='data:image'] (where an img tag src attribute starts with "data:image") will remove the src value of any matched attributes. Likewise, img[src$='.jpg'] will remove the src value of img tags that have a url ending in .jpg (jpg images).
All tags can be targeted using the * wildcard, eg: *[title="test"] will remove all title attribute values from elements where the title attribute is equal to "test".
Styles List
A Styles List parameter is included in the Editor Parameters tab to set a list of style options for the Styles List in the editor toolbar. The options should be added in the format Name=style (where style is an existing css class used by your template) and separated by a comma. For example, if your template included the css rules :
.redtext {color : red;
}
.blutext {
color : blue;
}
you could add Red Text=redtext,Blue Text=bluetext
In addition to these new parameters, some Editor Parameters now include placeholder text to help better explain possible values.

This is a maintenance update to fix a few bugs and improve Joomla! 2.5 compatability.
Due to a change in the way the editor is now loaded, this release should resolve issues with Virtuemart 1.1.9 and any extension that loaded the editor in a tab - redShop, JEvents, etc.

Subscribers can now take advantage of two new add-ons for JCE that will make creating popups for RocketTheme's RokBox and Yootheme's WidgetKit extensions a lot easier.
Once the add-on is installed, a new option will appear in the Popup Type list in the Popups tab of the Link, Image Manager Extended and Media Manager dialogs. Selecting this option will enable the popup and allow the popup's parameters to be set - users of JCE MediaBox may already be familiar with this process.
Each add-on has a full set of parameters that can be set - a task that would have previously required diving into the html source code or fiddling around with the original extensions syntax.
In addition, the WidgetKit Lightbox add-on can have default values set for most parameters.
Remember, you will need to have RocketTheme RokBox or Yoothemes WidgetKit installed to use these add-ons!
Both add-ons are available in the Plugins section of the Downloads area.
