My previous mail was too short so now I'm adding the details. The following WYSIWYG issues are still open: * Heading doesn't work in IE6/7. * Insert Symbol doesn't work in IE6/7. * The dialog fills the entire width of the page in IE6. * Return doesn't generate a new paragraph in Firefox. * Text inside tags like strong or em is displayed correctly in the editor's text area but the tool bar is not synchronized in Firefox. This usually happens when switching from wiki to wysiwyg mode. * The editor is not very responsive while typing: I finish typing and the letters are not yet displayed (I experience this is most of the browsers). I think these issues should be fixed before 1.6RC1. I need two days to work on them. That leaves me one day, Friday, and maybe the weekend to add a few new features. The easiest one to add is Insert Link. Other candidates are: monospace and definition lists. The only good part is that the thing needed for fixing the above mentioned issues will help me implement the candidate features. So I think is better to do the release on Monday, 22th.
