- #12164: Justify was added to Horizontal Alignment in table cell properties.
- #1511: Undo manager now records object resizing.
- #10422: config.fillEmptyBlocks now works properly if a function is specified.
- #8117 & #1511: Added a fix where HTML5 <meta> tags will be allowed everywhere, including inside the <body> element.
