We have just released final 2.0.0 version of SPAW Editor PHP Edition. This release marks a great milestone in the history of SPAW Editor — one of the greatest WYSIWYG editors on the market.

We have implemented industry unique tabbed multi-document interface, floating/shared toolbars, resizeable editing area, Opera support and many other exciting new features.

One of the most exciting news in v.2 is it’s modular architecture allowing for virtually unlimited possibilities in extending core functionality. Rich API provides developers with easy access to editor’s properties, so you should expect numerous plugins developed by both Solmetra and various 3rd parties added to our plugins page in the near future.

SPAW Editor PHP Edition v.2.0.0 is available for immediate download from our download page. License wise it is released under the same scheme as version 1 which proved to be extremely flexible and fair: free under the terms of GPL and commercial licenses for non-GPL compatible use.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback through our forums, blog comments or email. And don’t forget to spread the word about SPAW Editor v.2!

Below is a changelog of changes made after SPAW Editor 2.0.0 RC release:
