Release 21 Launched on October 8th, 2005, and included the following new features and changes.
Concurrent Editing Support
EditMe now handles concurrent edits. A concurrent edit occurs under the following scenario:
Previously, User2's change would over-write User1's edits with a new version.
EditMe now merges concurrent changes. This means that if User1 made changes near the top of the page, and User2 made changes at the bottom, User2's edit version will include both User1 and User2 edits.
If User1 and User2 both edited the same section of the page, a merge conflict occurs. In this case, User2 is presented with a Diff of User1 and User2's versions. It is the responsibility of User2 in this case to incorporate User1's changes into a new version of the page.
Note: This feature only affects different users involved in a concurrent edit situation. A single user will always over-write their own edits in a concurrent edit situation. This is because users can easily create concurrent edits with themselves by using their browser's Back button.
Double-click Editing
Administrators can now optionally enable double-click editing. This option allows a user to double-click anywhere on the page to edit the content. Note that you must re-apply your site's Skin before this setting will work. See General Settings Help.
Form to Email
A new Form to Email feature allows you to collect information from site visitors through arbitrary forms placed on your site. See the Email Form help page for details.
Better Search Results
Search results now include context that displays the text around the first instance of the search keyword found in the page.
Protected Pages Hidden from Index, Search & Notifications
Pages that a user does not have access to view are no longer listed on the Index page, search results, or email change notifications.
Page Not Found
Instead of leading directly to an Edit screen, requests for pages that don't exist now display a Page Not Found message with a helpful explanation and the option to create the page from there.
301 Redirects
EditMe can now implement 301 permanent redirects for sites that want to change the domain name of their site without negatively impacting search engine rankings. This setup requires creation of a ticket with EditMe Support.
Comment Editing and Deletion
Users can now edit and delete their own Comments. Anonymous users who are not logged in can edit their comments during the active session only.
Site-specific Domain and Email in Change Notifications
A new General Site Settings option allows you to set the email address that change notification email messages come from. By default, these messages come from "noreply@editme.com".
Another General Site Settings option allows you to specify the default domain named used in links back to your site in change notification email messages. If you have a custom domain for your site, you no longer have to have the editme.com domain used in change notification links.
Login Link Returns to Current Page
Users are now returned to the last page they were viewing after logging in. Previously users were returned to the site's Default page after logging in through the Log In link.Note that you must re-apply your site's Skin before this setting will work.
Comment Editor Updates
A new General Site Settings option allows you to use the full-featured editor for Comments instead of the simpler stripped down editor.
The "Smilies" button is now included on the simple Comments editor toolbar.
