Support for TinyMCE 7 and beyond #468

Open MrkGrgsn opened 1 month ago

MrkGrgsn commented 1 month ago

We've just noticed that TinyMCE has taken the same approach as CKEditor and made version 7 available under GPLv2 or alternatively a commercial license (https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/9453). I couldn't see any mention of this in issues here and was wondering whether you will aim to support TinyMCE 7 and subsequent releases?

We are not in a rush to support the most recent versions of TinyMCE, we just added TinyMCE 6 compatibility in django-tinymce 4.0. But yes, at some point this project will have no other choices than follow TinyMCE development and hence its license policy. As long as some devs are keen to contribute to this package, even in a GPL context, it will continue to support TinyMCE evolution.

Thanks @claudep, that's reassuring. It will be interesting to see whether the change to GPL pushes clients and developers away to different libraries. 🤞

Just noting here for reference that the EOL for open source v6 is 31 October 2024 (1).

I see that the premium version of 6.8 is supported until 6 June 2025 (2) and the community edition of v5.10 received security updates for 7 months after premium support finished in April 2023 (3, 4), so perhaps we can hope that open source 6.8 will keep receiving fixes until June 2025!
