The beta test period is now over, and Realmac Software has now released the new version of Rapidweaver 4.0. Announced as a major update, this new version of the successful webdesign wysiwig application on Mac receives a mixed review from our team members. While Ars Technica wrote an extremely positive article based on the preview, I and other in the team were not so enthusiastic.
The interface has been revised to fit with Leopard, but long time Rapidweaver users will not be lost, as most of the changes are invisible. The main one is the file format which is now in .xml, providing a better compatibility of data with third-party applications which could better interact with Rapidweaver. In summary, this version looks like a transition, illustrated by a new interface and changes in the code, probably to allow Rapidweaver to be ready for future evolution. The update is free for users owning a 3.6 license; otherwise it will be charged 30 USD for owners of RW3.5, and 79 USD for the brand new version.
