[wp-testers] Testing TinyMCE 3.0

[Andrew Ozz]

Hi,

As the release of WordPress 2.5 approaches, a lot of people are looking
at this list now, ready to jump in and squish any bugs that dear to pop
out :)

One of the bigger updates in 2.5 is the new TinyMCE 3.0. It's completely
rewritten and is faster and better than ever. Now it fully supports
Firefox 2.x and 3-beta, IE 6 and 7, Safari 3 and Opera 9.x.

However being a new major version, it will need some serious testing,
particularly the "Paste from Word" functionality and generally pasting
from web pages directly in the editor or by using the "Paste from Word"
button (on the second row).

If someone wants to get this a step further and try changing some of
TinyMCE's settings, there's a small plugin to refresh the editor each
time the page is reloaded (while holding down Ctrl/Shift):

The new settings can be added by editing the plugin.

The settings for the "Paste" TinyMCE plugin are described here:

Please keep in mind that WordPress trunk is still in alpha, it's too
early to run it in production environment. Best is to run it on a test
install.

Thanks,
Andrew
