Re: Dreamweaver MX 2004 Product Release Effort Underway

-------------------------------
MIT received site licensed upgrades for Dreamweaver MX 2004 (version 
7) in early October.  The Dreamweaver MX Release Team has begun the 
effort to deliver the standalone product Dreamweaver MX 2004; not the 
full Studio MX suite. The team has begun testing the product for 
compatibility within the MIT environment with the goal of 
establishing a support statement, preparing documentation and making 
the software available to the MIT community later this fall.

IS does not recommend that MIT users upgrade to Dreamweaver MX 2004 
until the team has had a chance to fully evaluate it. Even if the 
software proves fit for MIT, note that the software has higher system 
requirements than previous versions of the product and will not work 
on versions of the Mac OS prior to 10.2.6.

Please note that if you have Dreamweaver MX 2004 installed on a 
version of Mac OS X 10.2, then use the Archive and Install option to 
upgrade to Mac OS X 10.3, Dreamweaver may not launch. Macromedia has 
published a fix for this problem at 
http://www.macromedia.com/support/service/ts/documents/mac_archive_install.htm.

Some new features of note for MIT users :

A simplified and enhanced interface
Rich CSS support
Integrated SFTP
Increased support for web standards
Cross-Browser Validation
New conversion tools
Site-less file editing
Pre-built templates

or suggestions please contact the team via email at
