The new major release (0.10.0.0) brings major new features to Editus.

New Embed Functionality

First of all, now the “Insert HTML” button is as versatile as ever. In addition to being able to process shortcodes, now you can insert a URL to embed. The URL can be from Youtube, Vimeo, Twitter, among other things.

Here is an example of embedding a Youtube Video by simply copying and pasting the URL.

New, “Medium.com Like” UI

And now there are different UI modes you can use. Before, to insert a component, you needed to drag and drop from the toolbar. Now you can insert using a simple click. (from the Editus settings page from the dashboard.) Or you can enable the auto-button feature similar to Medium.com.

With the above option, the component insert button will be auto-generated when you are on an empty paragraph.
