wysiwyg 7.x-2.8

Changes since 7.x-2.7:

• Support for YUI editor has been dropped!

  This release includes an update hook which removes any editor profile using the YUI editor. The text format itself will not be affected. All integration code related to YUI has been removed from Wysiwyg module.

• Deprecation of unmaintained editors!

  Starting from May 2022 the only supported editor libraries will be CKEditor 4 and TinyMCE 4. This means using any of the following editors is not recommended and strongly discouraged:

  • CKEditor 3
  • TinyMCE 3
  • FCKEditor
  • jWysiwyg
  • markItUp
  • NicEdit
  • Whizzywig
  • WYMeditor

  Unless a strong argument is made for continued support, all these editors will be removed from Wysiwyg module some time after May 2022. As far as I can tell, there has been no official effort made to keep any of these editors up to date with modern browsers. Continuing to support them in Wysiwyg module is becoming difficult and error prone. This drastic measure will cut down the number of supported editor versions from 100+ to a handful. It feels sad, but also necessary. D7 is nearing its end of life but I do not want to leave it even slightly unclear that these editors have been supported far longer than they really should have been and that simply can not go on - even if Drupal 7 somehow lives on.

  (Yes, this applies to the inofficial 6.x branch as well.)

• #3172792 by Shabbir: Fixed variable initialized twice.
• Corrected swap point for WYMeditor integration files. Was 1.0.0a1, should have been 1.0.0-rc1. Avoids call to a missing method.
• #3227897 by dmundra, hargobind: Update to CKEditor 4.17.1
• Work around CKEditor's onChange event not existing until version 4.2.
