🛠️ Enhancements

✨ AI writing assistant

• Updated system prompts to improve prompt injection protection for Dutch, Swedish, German, and French.

WProofreader JS core 3.30.5916

• Added a new boolean option disableTypeInSuggestionPopup to hide suggestion type labels in the suggestion pop-up. Disabled by default.
• Introduced a new onUsage callback function, triggered whenever a check, autocorrect, autocomplete, or generate request is executed and tracked. Returns key metadata about the request type along with selected input and output values. Useful for monitoring usage, collecting metrics, and supporting client-side billing or analytics.
• Updated description of the onStatistics callback function. Triggered when a user performs a suggestion or dictionary action, returning details such as action type, input text, rule, language, and context.

More details about onUsage and onStatistics are available in the WProofreader configuration reference.

• Fixed an issue with the user-level dictionary where, in some cases, words could be re-flagged even after being added. This occurred since v5.35.1 due to the introduction of rule IDs for spelling suggestions.
  
• Added support for TinyMCE 8 in the WProofreader plugin (now supports TinyMCE versions 6–8). Try the demo.

📚 Spelling

• Improved exclude custom dictionary functionality. Added a case-sensitive flag to allow excluding a word only in its exact form, keeping other forms correct. Without the flag, all forms of the word (including possessives) will be excluded. Available in the on-premises (self-hosted) version. This applies both to excluding words from being correct and from appearing in suggestions (while remaining correct).
• Improved prioritization of English spelling suggestions generated by the algorithmic engine using n-gram frequency data. Added a new parameter NgramPrioritization in AppServerX.xml.

AI proofreading

• Rolled back the default configuration for the AI Spanish engine due to an increase in incorrect/ignored suggestion reports. The AI model was removing unknown words, particularly medical terms.

💡 Autocomplete

• [On-prem] Fixed a critical issue causing British English autocomplete suggestions to be non-functional since v6.1.0 due to internal misconfiguration.
• [Cloud] Fixed an issue where English autocomplete suggestions were unavailable from July 25 to August 1, 2025. The issue went unnoticed as the system returned 2xx responses with empty results.

⚠️ Important change

• Prior to v6.2.0, the AI writing assistant used Claude Instant 1.2 as the base model. This model was deprecated by Amazon and reached its end of life on July 21. Due to the lack of advance notice, support was urgently replaced with Claude 3.5 Sonnet v1 and Mistral AI. To continue using the AI assistant for non-English languages, it is required to upgrade to v6.2.0.

Style guide

• Implemented context awareness to better match real-world usage.
  Added context_include and context_exclude fields to define additional words or phrases that trigger rule activation. Available via API or in the style_guide.csv file (for the self-hosted version).

  In addition to common (language-independent) rules, it’s now possible to create language-specific rules using the lang parameter. Available via API or by placing style_guide.csv under the respective language directory (for the self-hosted version).
• Added support for ignoring hidden files in the style guide directory.

WProofreader JS core v3.29.5897

• Removed ‘Show more’ button when only one suggestion is available.

Enhancements

• WProofreader core (version 3.20.5729)
  • Proofreading dialog in sidebar. Introduced a new option, proofreadDialogContainer, enabling the Proofreading dialog to be displayed in a reserved section of the page, such as a sidebar. This option integrates the proofreading experience directly into the page layout.
