WordPress 3.5 RC6 is out. Please, if you can (and earlier the better),
hammer on TinyMCE with the most ridiculous object and embed tags you
can find, and anything HTML5. (Here’s a zip for the nightly build.)
What’s important in RC6? After a good first attempt last week
(#22790), we took another stab (#22842) at fixing TinyMCE’s handling
of, well, ridiculous object and embed tags. Our goal right now is to
ensure that nothing breaks in 3.5 that worked in 3.4.2. So, go find
your best embed spaghetti* and make sure nothing breaks.**
Very easy to test: Go to the “Text “tab, paste something in, head
to the Visual tab, confirm things don’t look broken, head back to the
“Text” tab, see if it looks mangled, head back to Visual, confirm
things don’t look broken. Remember, we are looking for regressions, so
also check 3.4.2 to see if it occurs there.
** Breaks means the embed disappears in whole or part, or there’s a
JavaScript error, or your computer starts smoking. Whitespace and
other HTML changes do/will happen (contents may settle during
shipping). Of course, your content should never be damaged, as that’s
just no fun.
What happened to the last two RCs? We generally try to do a “soft” or
“silent” RC at the very end of a cycle. We’re confident we’ve gotten
the testing it needs, but we’d like to enter a 24-hour period where
there are no more changes to trunk. Having a cleaner version number
provides for a good line in the sand, and can help in case some
blocker bug report comes in. Of course this time, we’ve stuttered a
few times. TinyMCE hell was RC4. A few final changes on Friday (after
we decided to not release) resulted in RC5. And the second round of
TinyMCE hell is RC6.
This also means our new target is Tuesday, December 11. We’ll again
convene at 10 a.m. Eastern to see if the winds are blowing in our
direction. (Even NASA needs good weather.)
