Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Adobe Labs have released beta version of there upcoming Adobe Dreamweaver, Fireworks & soundbooth. The beta releases are available for download from the adobe labs page.

So whats new & what we can expect from the upcoming releases

Upcoming Adobe Dreamweaver
The new release of Dreamweaver comes with many exciting surprises some of which my most favorite are :

  • Live View which included integration of the famous webkit enhancing dreamweaver with a new rendering engine that will help you view your web pages under real-world browser conditions.
  • The Related Files feature displays all the documents associated with your current page, whether CSS, JavaScript, PHP, or XML, in a bar along the top of your document thus adding more flexibility to your work environment.
  • A Code Navigator pop-up window has been added which will displays CSS rules, server-side includes, external JavaScript functions. Seems like Adobe understands the MVC and interlinked code structures and have enhanced more support to it.
  • Code hinting for Ajax and JavaScript frameworks means support for popular JavaScript frameworks including jQuery, Prototype, and Spry.
  • Photoshop Integration Drag and drop an Adobe Photoshop® PSD file into a Dreamweaver page to create an image Smart Object.
  • Subversion in Dreamweaver: integrates Subversion software for a more robust check-in/check-out experience with file versioning, rollback, and more
  • Adobe® AIR™ authoring support Create multiplatform desktop applications from your Dreamweaver HTML and JavaScript sites with new Adobe AIR™ authoring support.
