In concert with the launch of Pixel & Tonic, it is my pleasure to announce the immediate release of Wygwam 2.0.

We’ve packed several big new features into this release:

EE2 Compatibility

That’s right! Wygwam 2 is officially our first EE2-compatible add-on. And we’re using EE2’s new fieldtype API, so FieldFrame isn’t required. Granted, FF Matrix is not yet available for EE2, so that feature isn’t either. But beyond that, the EE1 and EE2 versions stack up feature-for-feature.

A New Look

We went back to the drawing board for Wygwam’s custom CKEditor skin, and came up with something that does a better job of blending into your ExpressionEngine control panel, allowing you to focus on That Which Matters Most – your content.

Easy Conversions

Already have a weblog full of entries? We’ve implemented XHTML, Auto <br>, and Textile conversion, so text fields that began their life with something less than full-blown HTML content can be easily changed to Wygwam fields without manually updating all previously-saved content.

Streamlined Field Settings

Wygwam 1.0 raised the bar for text field settings. It provided a simple interface for creating custom toolbar configurations - a process that traditionally can be somewhat tedious, even to developers.

Now with Wygwam 2, we’ve provided an interface for virtually all of CKEditor’s config settings. That means you no longer have to bother fiddling with CKEditor’s config.js file to further customize your editing experience.

Good to Your Wallet

So what does all of this cost? Well, if you’ve already purchased a license for Wygwam 1.x, Wygwam 2 is a free upgrade! Consider it a big thank you for giving Wygwam a chance, even though so many free alternatives are available. We hope you’ve found it to be worth the cost of admission. And if you’re purchasing a new license, it’ll cost just $35.
