We know, we know... the last changelog update has been quite some time ago. In our last update, we said the new editor was almost ready and we were preparing the next update (finally...). Oh well... 🫠

As some of you know, we currently rely on TinyMCE for our editor and it has been buggy for some of our customers. On top of that, we barely have any way to really integrate it into eniston. That's why we started building our own editor. Along the way, we got reminded that it's quite a task... 😮‍💨

So we started looking for better third-party alternatives and we believed we found one. After doing some modifications and custom stylings, we stumbled upon many minor bugs and issues we haven't noticed earlier. That's when we posted our last changelog update – that were the "95% finished" came from. And after going back and forth (for about 2 months) with the developer of the editor, we decided to ditch this one as well. It just didn't fit.

Back to square one, with the help of TipTap

We started from scratch again, sort of. With the help of TipTap, we're currently building a fully integrated and fully custom-styled editor, just the way we need it. It will take a few more weeks to have a fully working editor just the way we want. Most of the formatting options are already working, but there are a few things that still take time to build. Mostly image handling, embedded content and AI features.

But we're getting there, finally. I'm not able to give a more detailed ETA for the release, but it will likely be sometime in November (yes, this year).

Many things to come

We wanted to ship the new editor before starting to work on new features. But as things have taking so long, we weren't able to ship much this year, apart from a couple of maintenance updates that are not always worth noting in a changelog.

We do have lots of stuff planned and are eager to finish the new editor as soon as possible, so we can continue making eniston better with continuous improvements and new features.

Thanks for sticking around.
