maxlength 2.0.0-rc2

This release contains several key bug fixes, including getting the "Bypass maxlength setting" working. So, if you have the administrator role, you will no longer see the character count text or have a maxlength imposed on you.

The character count is now more accurate and some odd behaviors (eg: rapidly blinking cursors 😵) under certain circumstances were resolved.

We've redesigned the configuration interface and improved the help text based on the usability testing feedback we gathered. We hope you like it! Let us know in the issue queue.

Read more about this release, including screenshots and videos in the blog post Maxlength 2.0.0-RC2 - A More Accurate and Easy-to-configure Character Limit.

We're one step closer to a stable release. We could use the community's help reaching that milestone. View the roadmap to see what remains.
