We want to thank all our customers – in particular those who reported issues/crashes and helped us resolve them.
The Adobe Dreamweaver team made a patch available with version number 12.0.3 for Perpetual customers on 12/12/2012.
The patch had a side effect where Business Catalyst and BrowserLab panel will stop functioning for some users. If you are a 12.0.2 user, you will not run into such an issue. You can resolve this issue by downloading the zip from here and following the steps below:
Steps to be followed:
The zip file contains required BL & BC files along with a batch script, that will copy files into corresponding extensions folder on the system. The zip file contains HTML, CSS & JS files and no executables.
The latest update for Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 includes bug fixes in Live View, Code View and FTP file transfer. This update to Adobe Dreamweaver also ensures continued compatibility with the Adobe PhoneGap Build service and improves user experience. Below are some of the highlights of this bug fix update.
Specific updates to version 12.0.3 (Creative Suite version)
Updates to both version 12.1.1 (Creative Cloud version) and version 12.0.3 (Creative Suite version)
Finally, we would like to acknowledge the help extended by Adobe Dreamweaver users in submitting “Crash Reports”. We have fixed some of the most common cases that were leading to crashes in this update also.
Note: The bug fixes mentioned above for 12.0.3 are already available to Creative Cloud members via 12.1 update.
Update: You can check if the update was successfully applied by checking the versions as mentioned below:
When Adobe first introduced Spry, our goal was to bring Ajax capabilities to the web design community, allowing designers to create web pages that provided a richer experience for the end user. As we know, however, the web evolves at a blistering pace. Over the last couple of years, frameworks such as JQuery have evolved to encompass many of the capabilities originally envisaged for Spry, making Spry as a standalone offering less relevant.
As we can continue to focus our efforts in furthering the web, we have decided to no longer invest in the development of Spry. We do however recognize that for some designers it continues to provide value. As such, we are making the Spry framework, along with supporting documentation and example code, available on GitHub under an MIT license so that designers will continue to have access to the framework and can customize/extend it as required.
Going forward, Adobe will continue to make contributions to JQuery UI, JQuery Mobile and other frameworks so as to help web designers create rich web and mobile experiences.

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.
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.
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.
An update for Dreamweaver CS 5.5 was rolled out on 12 June, 2012 . This update primarily fixes/updates the Phonegap build feature. The key points for this particular update are:

UPDATE:
The team strongly recommends to NOT download this patch for Mac for now. There are no issues with Windows version of this same patch
