Changelog

6.2.0 (July 20, 2026)

Features

  • generator: Packages created by the generator now declare approved build scripts using pnpm's allowBuilds setting in pnpm-workspace.yaml, replacing the deprecated onlyBuiltDependencies and ignoredBuiltDependencies keys. This makes generated packages compatible with pnpm v11.

Bug fixes

  • generator: Generated packages now require Vite ^8.1.2.
  • generator: Generated packages now pin eslint-config-ckeditor5 and eslint-plugin-ckeditor5-rules to the ESLint 9 compatible major line, so that installing their dependencies no longer fails on an ESLint peer dependency conflict.

Released packages

Check out the Versioning policy guide for more information.

6.0.0 (March 31, 2026)

MAJOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • generator: Removed --installation-methods (-m) flag that was used to provide the CKEditor 5 installation method: either the current (modern) method or the legacy (DLL-based) one. Now, only the current installation method is supported, so no DLL-based files and configurations are generated anymore. For more details on migrating custom plugins, please refer to the documentation. See #280.

  • generator: Remove Support for Old Installation Methods. Closes #270.

    As previously announced, the end of March 2026 marks the end of support for Old Installation Methods (OIM), except for Long-Term Support (LTS) releases. This change is part of our ongoing efforts to modernize our tooling and improve the developer experience.

    As a result, the package generator no longer supports OIM-based projects. We encourage all projects to migrate to the new, modern installation methods.

    For more information, see the following discussion: ckeditor/ckeditor5#17779

  • generator: Packages created by the generator now use Vite (instead of webpack) to run the development server. Closes #270.

  • generator: Upgrade TypeScript to v5.5.4. Closes #270.

  • generator: Updated generated packages to require CKEditor 5 v48 or newer. Closes #320.

  • Delete the ckeditor5-package-tools package, as its functionality has been fully integrated into the ckeditor5-package-generator package. See #295.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

  • generator: Removed ts:build and ts:clear scripts from the generated package.json file for TypeScript package. Also, the tsconfig.release.json file is not created anymore. See #286.
  • generator: Replace the --use-npm, --use-yarn, and --use-pnpm CLI flags with a single --package-manager option. Closes #318.

Other changes

  • generator: Removed main, module and types fields from the generated package.json file. See #286.
  • generator: Move translations handling from ckeditor5-package-tools to ckeditor5-package-generator templates. See #295.
  • generator: Allow passing all options either as CLI arguments or interactively. Closes #318.
  • generator: Add the --help screen to the CLI. Closes #318.
  • generator: Updated generated ClassicEditor.create() snippets to use the configuration-based syntax instead of passing the editable element as the first argument. Closes #320.
