  2. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved 3.1.6

  3. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved 3.1.5

    • The slashing changes made in WordPress 3.6 (alpha) have been reverted — we’re back to the old way again. This release restores the code back to Syntaxhighlighter v3.1.3. See ticket #21767.

  4. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved 3.1.4

    • WordPress 3.6 (alpha) compatibility. Content is now being stripped of slashes before being run through filters so this plugin needs to stop trying to strip slashes and then adding them back. See ticket #21767.

20111 release

  1. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved 3.1.2

    • Register some placeholder shortcodes so that strip_shortcodes() and such work properly. Previously the shortcodes were only registered during the brief moment that they were processed by one of this plugin’s filters.

    • Added Japanese translation thanks to Makoto.

  2. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved 3.1.0

    • Allow choosing between v2.x and v3.x of the SyntaxHighlighting package. Some people prefer the old one and there’s nothing wrong with it really.
    • Fix broken TinyMCE plugin URL.
    • Force LTR text in v3.x.
    • If global collapse default is on, force on the toolbar and force off light mode to avoid the code block from disappearing.
    • Make the demo on the settings page the width of the content area on the front end so it’s a better example of what the code will look like.
    • Bring back v2.x specific settings like linewrap.
