• The basic editWidget now ignores all formatting
• CKEditor 4 is now configurable using Create's editorOptions
• Initial support for the Medium Editor
• Support for Font Awesome 4.x
• Dependencies are now installed via Bower

Entity editing:

• Terminology: midgardEditable is now known as an editable entity widget, and the editors it runs for various properties are known as property editor widgets
• Entity editing widget now accepts two callbacks for instantiating decorators for entities and their properties in the DOM. This is handy for CMSs that want to visualize what can be edited
  • decorateEditableEntity callback is called for the entity loaded to the editable widget
  • decoratePropertyEditor callback is called for each property of the entity
• Entity editables are now able to run without VIE Collection view being defined
• Events emitted by the editing widgets now carry the new terminology. The old event data keys are still available as fallbacks:
  • entity: VIE entity instance (Backbone.js model)
  • editableEntity: midgardEditable widget instance
  • entityElement: DOM element containing the entity
• Events emitted by the property editing widgets now carry the new terminology. The old event data keys are still available as fallbacks:
  • predicate: name of the property being edited
  • propertyEditor: editor instance
  • propertyElement: DOM element containing the property
• The state model for entity editing was clarified, with the following different states instead of enabled, disabled, and active:
  • Inactive: editable is loaded but disabled
  • Candidate: editable is enabled but not activated
  • Highlight: user is hovering over the editable (not set by Editable widget directly)
  • Activating: an editor widget is being activated for user to edit with it (skipped for editors that activate instantly)
  • Active: user is actually editing something inside the editable
  • Changed: user has made changes to the editable
  • Invalid: the contents of the editable have validation errors
• The modified event was renamed to changed to follow the new states
• New public methods setState and getState were added for manipulating the state from the application controller
  • States are passed as strings corresponding to the new editing states (for example, inactive or changed)
  • The setState method has an optional predicate parameter for targeting a particular property editor with the state change
• New Rich Text Editors
  • CKEditor 4
  • TinyMCE 4

Metadata editing:

• New midgardMetadata widget was added to act as the controller for all different metadata editors

• midgardTags was refactored to run inside the metadata editing widget

  This changes tags initialization from:

  jQuery('body').midgardCreate({
    tags: true
  });

  to:

  jQuery('body').midgardCreate({
    metadata: {
      midgardTags: {}
    }
  });

Storage:

• The revertChanges method was made public, allowing external UIs to trigger reverting entities to their original states
• The hasLocal and readLocal methods were made public to allow manipulating localStorage from the application controller
• The saveRemote method was made public, allowing the application controller to trigger saving for a single entity
• new save and saved events are triggered for the whole set of entities being saved
• new saveentity and savedentity events are triggered for each entity being saved
• Options used when calling saveRemote are now passed on in the save-related events
• key prefix used with localStorage is now configurable

• New midgardCollectionAddBetween widget for more flexible collection editing
