This update fixes a number of bugs reported since the last release, and adds a few new features and improvements.
New features include options to set Startup Content for the editor, Media Previews of <video> and <audio> content, and webp support in the Image Editor and Create Thumbnail tools (which are also now available in the File Manager and File Browser). We've also added the option to set “quotes” on a selection using CTRL + SHIFT + ". When using a German language pack, CTRL + SHIFT + 2 will result in „quote“.
Video parameters - autoplay, loop, controls etc. - are now passed to MediaBox when creating a popup in the Media Manager, and embedding Youtube and Vimeo videos using a pasted in URL or the Quick Media input will now use relevant options set in the Media Manager parameters.
JCE Pro is also currently being tested on PHP 8, with no major issues found in JCE Pro 2.9.2.

UPDATE: JCE Pro 2.9.1 has been released to fix a bug where pressing backspace in the editor when editing specific content would cause the browser to hang.
This update consolidates and builds on the new features and enhancements introduced in JCE Pro 2.8 and includes a number of new features of its own, as well as the usual stash of bug fixes.
Primarily aimed at power users and site admins, the new features include a new way to manage code in the editor with Code Blocks, a Text Editor for editing text-like files such as html, txt, md and json, and options to set restrictions on iframe urls. We've also made some changes to the JCE Admin layout, moving parameter descriptions into inline help boxes, and tweaked some layout stuff to get the editor Joomla 4 ready.

This update fixes a number of issues reported since the last release and makes some changes to the way event attributes - eg: onclick, onload etc. - are handled. In addition, an important security update is included to prevent potential cross-site scripting attacks.
Event Attribute Changes
Event attributes are able to execute javascript and so should only be available to trusted users. In this update and going forward, event attributes are now disabled by default and will be removed from content created or edited with JCE. Event Attributes can be enabled with the Allow Event Attributes option in Editor Profiles -> Editor Parameters -> Advanced, or with the Allow Javascript option in the same tab. If the Allow Javascript option is enabled, Allow Event Attributes will automatically be enabled. A step-by-step guide for this is available here
The Rollover effect provided by the Image Manager uses event attributes, and so the Allow Event Attributes will now need to be enabled to use this feature. Existing rollover effects will be protected if the option is not enabled.
A Security Update
An article was recently published which demonstrated that many popular WYSIWYG editors were and are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack when pasting content copied from a malicious site, by taking advantage of event attributes in the copied HTML. As JCE uses a version of the Tinymce editor mentioned in the article, it too was vulnerable to this potential exploit. This update fixes the issue by removing all event attributes from pasted content copied from external sources, unless explicitely allowed in the Clipboard parameters.
In addition to this, better processing of HTML comments and media elements, and a fix in the Visual Characters feature , remove other potential instances where similar exploits could be executed by a user.
It should be noted that these issues require the editor to be active, either by a malicious user creating or editing content, or by a user inadvertantly pasting in content from a malicious website. Nevertheless, all users are advised to update to JCE 2.8.15 as soon as possible.
JCE Pro 2.8 includes a number of great new features and enhancements and is available for download or to update via the Joomla Updater.
