Enhanced Collaboration with Comments

Mentions Support: Comments now allow user mentions using the @ symbol. Enable mentions with the tinycomments_mentions_enabled option.
Improved Event Tracking: The conversationAuthor property is now available in event logs, enhancing data retrieval for create events.
UI Updates: Streamlined comment management with a refreshed interface and a new "comments-only mode" for focused reviews.

Export to Word & PDF

Default Page Settings: Both Export to Word and PDF now default to U.S. letter page size with standard 1-inch margins, offering consistent formatting for documents.
Updated Plugin Configurations: Simplified plugin setup with new default options for better out-of-the-box usability.

Markdown Plugin

Improved Command Execution: The MarkdownInsert command is now asynchronous and immediately accessible at initialization, enhancing responsiveness.
New Event: A MarkdownInserted event fires upon command completion, enabling better post-insertion handling.

PowerPaste Plugin

Clipboard Compatibility: The mceInsertClipboardContent command now executes synchronously for plain text and is compatible with Markdown.

Read-Only Templates

Prevent accidental edits to template content with the new read-only feature while allowing customization in non-locked sections. This enforces content consistency across documents.

Accessibility Enhancements

Color Picker ARIA Support: Improved screen reader compatibility with updated aria-label placement and descriptive text.
Raw CSS Colors: The color_map_raw property now allows defining custom colors using raw CSS for greater flexibility in the color picker.

Bug Fixes
