The Java server-side components have been updated to the following versions: - `ephox-hyperlinking.war`: 2.105.24 - `ephox-image-proxy.war`: 2.106.11 - `ephox-spelling.war`: 2.118.19 ### Updating the self-hosted server-side components The new versions of the server-side services provide updates for the Java-based server-side components. To deploy the updated version of the server-side components: 1. Update your Java Application Server to the minimum required version: - Eclipse Jetty: - 9.4+ - WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 8 or later - Apache Tomcat: - 10 (See note below) - 9+ - 8.5.12+ - 8.0.42+ - 7.0.76+ > **Important:** Tomcat 10 will require WAR files to be placed in the *webapp-javaee* directory rather than the *webapps* directory due to the change to Jakarta servlets. Jetty 11 is not currently supported due to this change. 2. Replace the existing server-side `.war` files with the `.war` files bundled with TinyMCE 6.8.3 or later. For information on: - Deploying the server-side components, see: [Server-side component installation](../introduction-to-premium-selfhosted-services/). - Deploying the server-side components using Docker, see: [Containerized service deployments](../bundle-intro-setup/). > **Note:** There are no functionality changes in these updated server-side components. ## Accompanying Premium plugin changes The following premium plugin updates were released alongside TinyMCE 6.8.3. ### PowerPaste 6.2.5 The TinyMCE 6.8.3 release includes an accompanying release of the **PowerPaste** premium plugin. **PowerPaste** 6.2.5 includes the following fix. #### PowerPaste would sometimes consider a shape or a picture to be an equation when it is not. In previous versions of **PowerPaste**, users encountered an issue while copying/pasting content from a Microsoft Word document when **PowerPaste** Plugin was enabled in the editors configuration. As a consequence, if the copied content contained images and equations, the images would not appear in the expected locations on paste. **PowerPaste** 6.2.5 addresses this issue, by enhancing the image and equation detection logic. As a result, images now appear in their correct locations as expected. > **Note:** The current version of **PowerPaste** does not currently support equations within TinyMCE. For information on the **PowerPaste** plugin, see: [PowerPaste](../introduction-to-powerpaste/). ## Bug fixes TinyMCE 6.8.3 also includes the following bug fixes: ### `ShadowDOM` skin was not loaded properly when used with js bundling feature. When using the js bundling feature with the `ShadowDom` skin, the editor would not load the skin properly. As a consequence, any editor bundled with this specific setup would result in the editor loading without displaying the toolbar. TinyMCE 6.8.3 addresses this issue, now, during the loading process the `ShadowDOM` skin is correctly used when using the js bundling feature. As a result, the editor loads properly and the toolbar appears as expected. ### The floating toolbar would not be fully visible when the editor was placed inside a scrollable container. Previously, when the editor was configured to be set within a scrollable container, and the `ui_mode: 'split'` is set, the floating toolbar was obscured when the user switched to fullscreen. As a consequence, the floating toolbar UI was not completely visible when switching to fullscreen. TinyMCE 6.8.3 addresses this, now, when the container containing the editor UI elements are set to a `fixed` css position when the editor is switched to fullscreen. As a result, the toolbar is now no longer obscured when switching to fullscreen. ## Security fixes TinyMCE 6.8.3 includes one fix for the following security issue: The following server-side component has been updated to include dependency updates addressing the following security issues. - [CVE-2023-6378](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-6378) This update is considered as a High severity vulnerability fix.
