New FCKeditor 2.3 Faster and Less Buggy

I've come to love Frederico Caldeira Knabben's HTML text editor.  And to my relief, the common problems I've ever encountered with the WYSIWYG have been fixed allowing for a more smooth operation.

Examples would include a memory fix in IE where over time it was using up more ram.  A small security problem was fixed and the security warning on IE over HTTPS has been removed.  But that's not the best part. The new Toolbar Sharing system, a system in which all of the buttons on the interface have merged into one, allows the editor to move up to 3x faster. Faster is always better. This also allows a much easier way to skin the tool.

Cool new features include mouseovers on some of the buttons like text color and background color. Also the "src" of images can now be set using CSS. They've also added a new toolbar button allowing the new "Fit to Window" feature. Snazzy. The new features will be very helpful for both Zunch clients and HTML developers like myself who use our zMS. Be on the lookout for the newest version of FCKeditor technology in all current and future Zunch products.
