Studio 8 Announced
I'm three days late on this, but Macromedia announced Studio 8 (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Contribute and FlashPaper) on August 8. 8 on 8/8. Great huh? Anyway, I'm quite a bit saddened that Freehand is not in the package as this almost certainly means that it's death is eminent. They have not said as much, but I'm not sure what else a person could think with the coming Adobe merger.
So what's new? One of the smallest new features, but one of the most exciting to me is a tabbed document interface in Dreamweaver for Macintosh. There is a new CSS panel that better merges all CSS work into a single place. You can now use Dreamweaver to edit XML and XSL documents. You can also now do "code folding" which allows you to collapse parts of your code that you are not working on. The product is scheduled to be released at the beginning of September.
