New Release: TinyMCE 5.10

From January 2023, TinyMCE no longer offers Real-Time Collaboration (RTC) for new customers. For Existing customers, we'll be in contact to discuss options. Please reach out to your Account Manager if you are a customer using RTC, and you have any questions about the plugin.

With the 5.10 release comes another set of updates and announcements for TinyMCE. Our last major release of the 2021 year, is filled with small improvements that focus  on making engineers' lives that little bit easier – especially when working with our API’s – and enhancing the safety and security of some of our biggest premium features. 

As always if you’re a Cloud user, your system will automatically update to the latest release. If you’re Self-Hosted, log into your TinyMCE account to down the latest Self-Hosted version of TinyMCE. You can also download it directly from NPM;

$ npm install tinymce@^5
