This release delivers a comprehensive modernization of the Quill editor, featuring a full migration to ESM and TypeScript across the codebase, alongside a significant architectural overhaul of the core editor logic, blots, and UI components. The update introduces improved paste handling for Google Docs and Microsoft Word, smooth scrolling, and a more modular theme system. Additionally, the project transitions to a monorepo structure, updates the official website to Next.js, and expands test coverage with new E2E, unit, and fuzz tests.

The website's playground section now includes four new interactive examples demonstrating Quill 2 usage: a basic editor with the Snow theme, a form integration example, a custom font formatting demo, and a React component example. These additions provide users with practical templates for integrating Quill into standard web forms, applying custom styles, and using Quill within a React application.

The website content now includes a series of blog posts detailing Quill's history and technical milestones. These posts cover the introduction of the new Delta format, the release of Quill 1.0 and its new features like syntax highlighting and formulas, the removal of iframes in v0.19, and the roadmap for 2.0. This provides users with a comprehensive history of the editor's capabilities and changes.

New scripts have been added to automate the release process and update the CHANGELOG. The release script (scripts/release.js) now supports dry-run mode and handles experimental versions by generating unique version strings and skipping git pushes and GitHub releases for them. The changelog script (scripts/changelog.mjs) automatically fetches the latest GitHub release, formats the release notes, and prepends them to CHANGELOG.md, while also linking contributor usernames to their GitHub profiles. A utility script (scripts/utils/configGit.mjs) is also added to configure Git user details for these scripts.

Added a new dynamic playground page component (\[...id\].jsx) that renders a code editor and preview using Sandpack, supporting URL-based state via hash parameters. The component reads static paths and props at build time, allowing each playground instance to load its own set of files and metadata. A corresponding SCSS file provides layout styling for the editor and preview panes.

The website's component layer has been rebuilt for the new Next.js-based site. This introduces a suite of new React components including ActiveLink, ClickOutsideHandler, Editor, GitHub, Header, Heading, Hint, Layout, Link, MDX, NoSSR, OpenSource, PlaygroundLayout, PostLayout, SEO, and Sandpack, alongside their corresponding SCSS stylesheets and utility functions (flattenData, replaceCDN, slug). These components provide the structural and interactive foundation for the documentation pages, header navigation, code playgrounds, and search integration.

The Quill editor's styling and icon assets have been reorganized into the \src/assets\ directory. This includes the core styles (\core.styl\), shared base styles (\base.styl\), and theme-specific styles for the 'bubble' editor (\bubble.styl\, \bubble/toolbar.styl\, \bubble/tooltip.styl\). Additionally, a comprehensive set of SVG icons for toolbar buttons (e.g., \bold.svg\, \italic.svg\, \header.svg\, \list-bullet.svg\) and table border options have been added to \src/assets/icons/\. These changes provide the visual foundation for the Quill editor's appearance and toolbar interface.

The Quill package now includes a full build and development configuration, including Webpack (webpack.common.cjs, webpack.config.cjs), TypeScript (tsconfig.json), ESLint (.eslintrc.json), Babel (babel.config.cjs), and Playwright (playwright.config.ts) files. This establishes the tooling for compiling, linting, and testing the Quill editor, supporting both development and production workflows.

The Quill library's source code has been reorganized into a new \src\ directory, establishing a cleaner package structure. This change introduces explicit exports for core types and classes—including \Delta\, \AttributeMap\, \Parchment\, \Range\, and various options and debug levels—making them directly accessible to consumers. Additionally, a TypeScript declaration file (\types.d.ts\) is added to support SVG imports and define the \QUILL\_VERSION\ constant, improving type safety and build compatibility for TypeScript users.

The Quill editor now includes dedicated HTML normalization modules for content pasted from Google Docs and Microsoft Word. This change introduces new logic to clean up and structure HTML from these sources, specifically handling Google Docs' font-weight styles and empty lines, and converting Microsoft Word's custom list formatting into standard HTML lists. Users will experience more accurate and consistent formatting when pasting content from these applications.

The editor's behavior for pasting, keyboard shortcuts, and undo/redo has been significantly improved. Pasting from external sources (Google Docs, Microsoft Word, iOS share sheets) now results in cleaner content with fewer redundant newlines and better style preservation. Keyboard shortcuts for undo/redo are more reliable across operating systems, and the history module has been refactored to better handle composition events and selection states. Additionally, the codebase has been migrated to ESM and TypeScript.

The Quill editor's format definitions (including alignment, bold, italic, headers, lists, tables, and media embeds) have been converted from JavaScript to TypeScript. This change improves type safety and provides better IDE support for these core editing features.

The Quill official website has been migrated from Gatsby to Next.js. This change updates the build configuration and tooling to use Next.js, including an ESLint configuration extending the Next.js preset, a new Next.js configuration file that handles MDX support, SVG imports, and URL redirects, and an environment configuration file that defines site metadata and CDN links. Users will experience the same content and functionality, but the underlying framework powering the site has changed.

The Quill editor's theming system has been refactored to use a shared \BaseTheme\ that handles common UI components like pickers, buttons, and tooltips, while \SnowTheme\ and \BubbleTheme\ now extend this base to provide their specific default configurations and behaviors. This change means that the visual appearance and interaction of the editor's toolbar and tooltips are now managed through a more modular theme architecture, where users can rely on the standard Snow or Bubble themes for their respective default toolbars and tooltip behaviors.

The Quill UI layer has been refactored into distinct, reusable TypeScript classes (Picker, ColorPicker, IconPicker, Tooltip) with improved accessibility support (ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation) and cleaner separation of concerns. This change improves maintainability and ensures consistent behavior across all UI elements like dropdowns and tooltips.

The Quill editor's core blot classes (Block, Break, Container, Cursor, Embed, Inline, Scroll, and Text) have been reorganized from a single monolithic file into separate, modular TypeScript files. This change improves code maintainability and aligns with modern ESM package structure, though the functional behavior for users remains unchanged.

The Quill core logic has been restructured into new, dedicated files (composition.ts, editor.ts, emitter.ts, etc.) within the src/core directory, improving code organization and type safety. Additionally, the editor now supports smooth scrolling when the 'smooth' option is enabled, providing a more polished user experience during text selection and editing.

The website's data files have been updated to reflect Quill 2.0. The API reference now includes new methods such as \getSemanticHTML\ and \scrollSelectionIntoView\, alongside existing content, formatting, selection, editor, events, model, and extension categories. Documentation links have been refreshed to cover the new \Upgrading to 2.0\ guide, updated module pages (Toolbar, Keyboard, History, Clipboard, Syntax), and customization sections (Themes, Registries). Additionally, the playground section now includes an example for using Quill with React.
