Announcing FreeTextBox 3.1 and 4.0

by John Dyer

Early next week, I'll be releasing the last 3.x release of FreeTextBox. The main issues that will be addressed are ASP.NET 2.0 Beta 2 compatilibity issues:

  • There are some issues with the dynamic file handler
  • Visual Studio Design time support

After that all work will be on FreeTextBox 4.0. Here are some of the initial goals:

  • No bugs ;)
  • Safari support
  • Totally new toolbar system
    • Toolbars usable for other things (not tied to FreeTextBox, can function as a separate control)
    • One toolbar for multiple FreeTextBox editors
    • Multiple toolbars for each FreeTextBox
    • Draggable (floating)
    • Work in a separate frame
  • Full XHTML support (even for IE)
  • Localized text in JavaScript windows
  • Rich dropdownlists instead of standard select boxes (also functional as a separate control)
  • New popup window UI (for insertions)
  • Themeable through CSS/stylesheets (instead of lots of .NET properties)
  • Full-screen editing
  • Much, much more...

Here's a screenshot of the early UI (two editors, three toolbars):
