WebSpellChecker Server 5.4.0 Release Notes

Enhancements

WProofreader v.1.6

  • Title of the dialog “WebSpellChecker Proofreader” is renamed to “WProofreader”.
  • Text color of spelling and grammar errors in the corrections section of the Dialog mode is changed to more contrast for accessibility purposes.
  • New API method instance.openDialog() is added for opening ‘dialog mode’ of WProofreader on action. This method will come in handy if you prefer to use only proofread in a dialog mode and call WProofreader on a custom action.
  • New API options are added:
    • disableDictionariesPreferences – If true, this parameter hides certain features of the personal user dictionaries for end users. End users won’t be able to create, rename, remove or disconnect a dictionary.
    • proofreadAsYouType – If false, this parameter disables the proofread as you type mode of WProofreader. Only proofread in a dialog mode will be available.
    • removeBranding – If true, this parameter removes branding of WProofreader. The branding includes: title of the product, about tab with the logo and copyrights. This option is available only in Cloud Custom and Server plans.
    • disableBadgePulsing – If true, this parameter disables pulsing effect of the orange badge button of WProofreader.
  • Added access to a WProofreader instance. Now you can get access to an instance of WProofreader.

New License Mechanism in AppServer

  • In general the Licensing flow of a self-hosted version of WebSpellChecker on both Windows and Linux-based operating systems is simplified. With the Internet connection, the license can be activated in two steps.
  • The license activation process can be automated, and used in a silent installation mode.
  • Even though a license is still hardware-based, the license can be easily reactivated and migrated to another machine.
  • Warnings, errors and statuses about the license are more clear and self-explanatory in Logs.
