EtherPad

We are pleased to release a number of exciting new features which were heavily requested by EtherPad users. Here are the new features and changes:

Rich Text

We added some simple rich text formatting to pads (bold, italic, underline). This will allow you to add structure to your pads, such as headings.

Saved Authorship with Revisions

We now preserve authorship information with saved revisions, so when you restore a previous revision, the author colors get restored.

Import & Export Files

We have added Import and Export for PDF, Text, Microsoft Word, and other file formats. If your company typically saves documents in Word format, it is now incredibly easy to export and save your EtherPad to Word or to import a Word document into Etherpad and collaboratively edit with colleagues anywhere in the world, and then export it back to a word file. (Thanks to famfamfam.com for the file icons).

View Zoom

You can now bump up the font size to ease the strain on your eyes. Tip: you can use more browser width and height by clicking the "Full window width" button.

Testimonials

We have been delighted and humbled by the warm letters of appreciation from thousands of individuals who took the time to write about us and we decided to share a few of their contributions with you. Please take a look at the testimonials and if you have other thoughts to share, feel free to email <feedback@e***rp*d.com>.

Please stay tuned for more feature upgrades and a major new release of the Private Network Edition of Etherpad. Thank you again for letting us know your thoughts and helping us shape the future of really real-time collaboration.
