Today we are releasing the 1.5 version of our rich text components. This marks the second unified release where several parts of our rich text eco system are maturing in lock-step.
For the most part these improvements and enhancements were funded from exceptional sales of DTRichTextEditor as well as several sponsors who stepped forward to allow me to finally get support for lists implemented.
From what I can tell the clients who licensed the editor are way more willing to contribute funds to something they have already paid for, than for enhancing the – otherwise free with attribution – DTCoreText.
Here are the collected release notes:

There is also now a Programming Guide for DTRichTextEditor where I’m collecting guides how to implement frequently asked about things.
I especially would like to thank Lee Hericks for his work on the backend and help with polishing, as well as Daniel Phillips who helped implement the format picker in the Editor demo. Here’s a screenshot.
Of course work has already begun on the next version. If you need something specific implemented please get in touch.
