Zefyr Changelog

1.0.0-rc.5

• Upgraded to support Flutter 2.10.

1.0.0-rc.4

• Added maxContentWidth constraint to ZefyrEditor. When this property is not null the editor's content will only stretch up to the specified value. This does not affect the overall editor width, it will still try to expand horizontally to fill the entire available area. Side effects of setting maxContentWidth include:

  • the scrollbar (for desktop platforms) will appear at the right edge of the full editor width, which may not be the same as the right edge of the content.

  • gesture and mouse events outside of the content area are still handled by the editor. Both of the above are desired behaviors.

1.0.0-rc.3

• Added keyboard shortcuts for bold, italic and underline styles. (#580)

• Launch URL improvements: allow launching links in editing mode (#581)

  • For desktop platforms: links launch on Cmd + Click (macOS) or Ctrl + Click (windows, linux)

  • For mobile platforms: long-pressing a link shows a context menu with multiple actions (Open, Copy, Remove) for the user to choose from.

1.0.0-rc.2

• Inline code improvements: added backgroundColor, radius and style overrides for headings to inline code theme (#573)

• Fixed: Inserting horizontal rule moves cursor on the next line after it (#576)

• Added Shift + Click support for extending selection on desktop (#577)

• Added automatic scrolling while selecting text with mouse (#577)

• Added support for text alignment (#565)

1.0.0-dev.1.0

This is the first development release of the upcoming 1.0.0 version of zefyr package.

Compared to 0.x versions of this package it's an almost complete rewrite and contains many breaking changes, but also comes with many improvements and new features.

This is an early dev release and it is not recommended to use in production environment. There are still many incomplete features as well as known issues that need to be addressed.

Breaking changes:

• ZefyrScaffold was removed. It is no longer required to wrap ZefyrEditor with it.

• ZefyrMode was removed. Zefyr now follows the contract of standard Flutter TextField and provides separate fields like showCursor, enableInteractiveSelection, readOnly to control editing features.

• ZefyrImageDelegate was removed as well as the imageDelegate field. There is now new embedBuilder field which allows to customize embedded objects. By default it is set to defaultZefyrEmbedBuilder which only supports embeds of type "horizontal rule". To support image embeds this field needs to be supplied with a function which can handle images.

• ZefyrView was removed. It is now possible to use ZefyrEditor with readOnly set to true to achieve view-only exprience.

• ZefyrScope was removed. There is no replacement for this class, it's just not needed anymore.

• ZefyrToolbarDelegate was removed together with ZefyrToolbar.delegate field. The toolbar can now be placed anywhere and does not require a scaffold. Users are required to handle visibility of the toolbar though (which was previously handled by ZefyrScaffold).

• ZefyrTheme has been rewritten to simplify theme data. See implementation for more details.

The above is not a comprehensive list but it should highlight all the major changes and help with migration.

What's new:

• Desktop support, including handling of mouse and keyboard inputs, including some keyboard shortcut as well as, hiding selection handles,

• Web support, partial. There is still limitations on the Flutter side, particularly around rendering rich-text and providing text metrics for rich-text.

• Better cursor handling and painting. It now matches the built-in Flutter behavior and style.

• Better selection handling.

• Code blocks now have line numbers (also planned - syntax highlighting)

• ZefyrEditor.expands field controls whether the editor expands to fill its parent.

• ZefyrEditor.minHeight and ZefyrEditor.maxHeight allow to control the height of the editor.

• ZefyrEditor.scrollable if set to false allows to embed the editor into a custom scrollable layout, e.g. a ListView.

• ZefyrEditr.onLaunchUrl callback is invoked when the user wants to open a link.

  • ZefyrMode.edit: the same as enabled: true, all editing controls are available to the user

  • ZefyrMode.select: user can't modify text itself, but allowed to select it and optionally apply formatting.

  • ZefyrMode.view: the same as enabled: false, read-only.

• Added optional selectionControls field to ZefyrEditor and ZefyrEditableText. If not provided then by default uses platform-specific implementation.
