The folks from CKEditor were kind enough to personally let us know about a release. Posting this here so everyone is aware.

Hey Guys (and maybe Gals)!

Just thought I'd let you know that CKEditor 4 is out. I know that in the past you opted for SCEditor because it was better suited for BBCode, but ...
