We would like to announce the release of CKEditor 4.2.1. This is a minor bug-fixing release that precedes another major release, CKEditor 4.3, which is due in a couple of weeks. CKEditor 4.2.1 comprises some bug fixes, including a much needed solution to an issue with the floating toolbar not repositioning correctly in some cases in inline mode and an accessibility fix for ChromeVox.

Below is a short overview of the changes included in this release:

What Is Next?

We are really excited about the pending CKEditor 4.3 release whose beta is coming soon! Apart from Internet Explorer 11 compatibility, new Language button, and updated smileys we are going to finally release the widgets feature that the whole team has been working on for the last couple of months. See the widget development sample to taste what is coming up next!
