This release comes with some behind-the-scenes updates and a bug fix.
Updates to run latest Sidebar - We've made a few updates to the Desktop Checker to make sure it works with the latest version of the Acrolinx Sidebar.
We have some exciting news — the Desktop Checker is now WCAG 2.1 A accessible! In addition to that, we've updated the editor version and fixed a couple of bugs related to installation.
This version of the Acrolinx Desktop Checker requires the following:
-
Acrolinx Platform 2021.12.1 or later
Other versions may work, but we've tested the Desktop Checker with:
-
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) and Microsoft Windows 11 (64-bit)
-
masOS Monterey 12.0 and Mac Ventura 13.0
-
Linux: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (Focal Fossa), and Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
We’re happy to say that our integration supports WCAG 2.1 Level A! Below is the shortcut to move to the Sidebar from the editor.
Shortcut |
Description |
---|---|
Ctrl + 1 |
Jump to the Sidebar. Once in the Sidebar, the user can rely on the Sidebar Keyboard Shortcuts. |
This is considered accurate at the time of publishing.
We’ve updated the editor to the latest CodeMirror editor, version 6. CodeMirror 6 is based on modules for language detection and syntax highlighting and doesn’t support editor mode based on mime types.
Therefore, we had to remove the --mime-type
option from the command line.
When you installed Desktop Checker, Mac would prevent the download and show a message stating that Apple couldn’t check it for malicious software. Although there was a workaround, this was really annoying. We took care of that issue in this release.
When you installed a new version of the Desktop Checker and a previous version was already installed, you may have encountered the error "A newer version of Acrolinx is already installed." We fixed this issue in this release so you won’t run into that problem again.
It's been awhile since we've shown the Desktop Checker some love, so we decided to start the new year with a stability update.
