44.1.0 (December 16, 2024)
We are pleased to announce the latest CKEditor 5 release, focusing on performance enhancements and key bug fixes to improve your editing and collaboration experience.
This release introduces another set of performance related improvements, focused on faster editor initialization for huge documents. The initialization time was lowered by further 15% to 45%, depending on the tested sample.
The combined improvements introduced in recent releases amount to around 65%-80% lower loading time in total, which means the editor will load 3-5x faster. As the gain is not linear, bigger documents see even better improvement (more than 10x faster).
Moreover, all these improvements positively impact document save time (editor.getData()), which should help with autosave issues, among others.
We still actively work in this area, so you may expect even more editor load and save efficiency improvements in the upcoming releases.
