Telerik Updates Web Editor Control
Already leading the field of web-based editor controls Telerik has strengthened their position, adding a host of new features and today announcing the release of version 4.0.
Spanning from practical to nifty to "thank God they fixed that", Telerik has clearly listened to input from their customer base and from their spiffy new partner, one Microsoft Corporation. This release adds a little bit of new love for developers, authors, designers, and content managers.
The full set of new features include:
- Accessibility - Section "508" compliant content
- Four ways to paste from Word
- Enhanced tools and dialogs
- CSS-based skinning
- Fully compatible with .NET 2.0
- Superior table management
- Improved application of styles
- New Undo/Redo mechanism
- Code indentation in HTML mode
- Support for .NET 2.0 Themes mechanism
- Help 2.0 documentation
- Ready-to-use VS.NET projects in C# and VB.NET
- DotNetNuke provider

SPONSORSHIP |
The section 508 compliance facilitation will surely be a big plus for US-based Microsoft CMS customers. Many of the other features are just positive steps forward across the board. The new undo/redo mechanism is welcome for all, as the previous one had some frustrating flaws. Overall this is a strong update to the tool and certainly merits a full version rev.
New Licensing
With the new release comes an updated licensing scheme, the Single Developer model. The editor SD License comes home with you for USD 349. That allows one developer to use the editor for an unlimited number projects and domains. Previously the editor was licensed by domain and IP, which was obviously a bit more tedious to manage.
With the above said, if you are a Microsoft CMS customer, remember that the Telerik editor plugs right into the MCMS framework and is FREE for those with a valid MCMS license.

Editor's Note: Due to feedback from Telerik, the title of this article has been changed from "Telerik Editor for Microsoft CMS Updated" to "Telerik Updates Web Editor Control". Their MCMS editor, while based on roughly the same code is following a different release schedule. Please see the article's inline comments and Mark Harrison's blog entry for additional details.

Telerik contacted me yesterday after releasing this article and has asked for a correction. As noted above I've changed the title of the article and have included a link to Mark Harrison's blog, wherein he describes a bit of a roadmap for the MCMS version of the software.
Here are the comments from Telerik:
"We are currently working on a new MCMS release that will take some of the nice things in v 4.0, however, it will not be the same. There are some important differences between the regular r.a.d.editor and r.a.d.editor for MCMS versions. It's worth noting that the new MCMS release will be v 2.0."
So stay tuned for the next MCMS editor update. This is not it. But it sounds like we'll have one soon.
