Apr 1, 2025April 2025 — ckeditor/ckeditor5: Focused on improving editing reliability and precision in the Transform/Undo pipeline. Delivered two main outcomes: (1) Engine enhancement: Added doNotFixSelection option to deleteContent(), allowing deletions to occur exactly on the provided selection without automatic re-positioning; this included docs and tests updates. (2) Bug fix: CKEditor 5 Engine: Fixed MarkerOperation and SplitOperation transformations when a split occurs after undoing a merge, ensuring marker start/end positions update correctly in split scenarios. These changes reduce edge-case inconsistencies in undo/redo workflows and improve content integrity for end users. Tech stack: JavaScript/TypeScript, CKEditor 5 engine/transform pipeline, unit/integration tests. Commits: 92c206e211b629bb20b2f470531a86243db93b15; 8ebe7ae770cc0e133450c0d5be49db4ab55dfd9c.
