Dreamweaver CS6 update 12.0.1

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Sarthak Singhal | Comments (51)

Just two months after the release of Dreamweaver CS6, we’re excited to announce the immediate availability of an update to Dreamweaver that provides both product enhancements and fixes to known issues. Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 customers will receive a notification about the update in the Adobe Application Manager. Please read below for further information about changes and enhancements included in this update.

Enhanced workflow with Adobe Proto Adobe Proto lets you create interactive wireframes and prototypes of websites and mobile apps on your tablet. Now, with the update to Dreamweaver CS6, you can open your Adobe Proto projects directly within Dreamweaver, enabling you to continue working on the project, so as to move your prototype into production. You can read more about Adobe Proto here.  

Fixes to issues identified by customers After the release of Dreamweaver CS6, we listened carefully to feedback from customers, so as to identify any high priority issues/bugs. One area where we received feedback was related to FTP connection/file transfer related issues. Dreamweaver CS6 made significant changes to the FTP functionality, with improved performance and workflow enhancements making the user experience better for the majority of customers. We did however work privately with a few customers who reported some problems and we have successfully resolved all known issues. Thank you all for helping us identify the issues in various real world scenarios with different configurations.

We have also made some workflow changes/bug fixes in the Find and Replace functionality.

  • On Mac, the tabbing order for different fields like Find and Replace were not in a logical order. We have streamlined the user experience so that the tabbing behaves as expected.
  • When a Replace All operation was executed for a search term, only the first instance was getting replaced. This was non-functional in Dreamweaver CS6 and we have fixed it in this update.

Finally, we have improved the experience of working with Business Catalyst sites. File transfer operations have been made asynchronous, allowing you to continue using Dreamweaver for other file editing while changes are being made to the Business Catalyst servers. There were also some instances when the “Manage Sites” dialog remained visible, which locked the application until the File transfer operation was completed – this has now been rectified.

The updates can be manually downloaded from here.

NOTE: This update is available to all Dreamweaver CS6 customers without any restriction to Creative Cloud subscribers only.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 11.5.3 update (Mac only)

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Sarthak Singhal | Comments (6)

Following the release of the 11.5.2 update for Dreamweaver CS5.5 (posted on 12 June 2012) we discovered an issue that, in certain circumstances, would lead to Dreamweaver crashing on Mac (note: Windows was not affected). As soon as we became aware of the problem we withdrew the 11.5.2 update for Mac and started working on a revised version of the updater.

We are pleased to announce that we have resolved the issue and have now made this available for download for Mac users – note that the new version number is 11.5.3.

Please accept our apologies for the delayed release of the update for Mac and for any inconvenience caused to customers who were impacted by this issue. We are confident that the 11.5.3 update is ready for use – you can install the update automatically using the Adobe Application Manager or you can download it directly from the Dreamweaver support page.

Dw CS6: Attributes deprecated from “img” tag

Dreamweaver CS6 made a change in code generation of attributes for tags in favor of using CSS. Once such example is the “img” tag from which the following attributes were removed.

  • border
  • vspace
  • hspace
  • align

The below screenshot will give you an idea of the changes made from Dreamweaver CS5.5 to CS6.0

These attributes have been deprecated in HTML 4.0 as mentioned  by W3C here and have been marked as  Obsolete here 

A quick look at the img tag at W3Schools will give an idea of the deprecated attributes for img tag.

“CSXS Infrastructure CS6″ update for Dreamweaver CS6

Posted on July 4, 2012 by Sarthak Singhal | Comments (1)

If you have not already checked up your Adobe Updater blinking in System Tray(Win) or Dock (Mac) for any Dreamweaver updates, do so right away. If you work with Business Catalyst sites, do it instantly!

Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 installed on your machine will receive this new update and address the performance issues reported by users of BC. When you click on the “Get Started” button in Business Catalyst panel within Dreamweaver, you might be seeing a progress bar for a very long time.

While the progress bar shows up, it may not let you work with the complete application. This has been fixed with the progress bar going away much much faster than earlier.
