Other Projects

CKFinder 3

We are still working on the upcoming release of CKFinder 3.1. Last week we:

• Worked on fixing downloading files on iOS devices.
• Continued to work on accessibility issues.
• Did some minor UI fixes.
• Reworked the way of how long running task are handled - mostly for operations on remote backends (Dropbox, Amazon S3).

Bender.js

We have updated test framework adapters for Bender.js:

• benderjs-yui (added nested test suites)
• benderjs-mocha
• benderjs-jasmine
• benderjs-quint

All adapters now fully support nested test suites. We also removed regressions feature which is supported natively by test frameworks.

Improvements for Bender.js are still in progress, but we are moving towards the 1.0.0 release.
