RapidWeaver 4.0 Released

I had mentioned a few days ago about using something I wasn’t supposed to talk about. Well the cat’s out of the bag, so here it goes:

I’ve been creating & posting my website in RapidWeaver Version 4 for the last week or so.

For those of you stuck at version 3.6 or abouts, there’s some good reason to come up to the latest & greatest:

• A generally much-sleeker interface throughout. It’s easier to find your way around now.

• Redesigned page info inspector. Most of the tabs are the same, but now it’s easier to pick out what they are!

• If you’re using .Mac to host like me (what’s wrong with us?) and using the personal domain feature, RW4 allows you to post directly there. No moving it back and forth to the Homepage folder, no slow-as-dirt Folder exports & syncing, just straight to the .mac personal domain folder (the same that iWeb uses to host).

• There’s now a real, honest-to-goodness toolbar across the top that has buttons for often-called features, such as the snippets window!

• If you actually use RW to compose your pages’ text (I write in Pages and then drag the text to RW myself), you’ll be glad to know that they put actual font controls across the bottom! Yep, bold, italic, underline, font, color… all the basics are there now! No menu-hunting!

That’s just a random bob sample, the full list can be found here on RealMac’s website. So what are you waiting for? Get your copy today!

Oh what’s that? You’re still on Tiger, not Leopard? Well yeah, then you’re screwed. This version uses some of the core technologies in Leopard, so it is Leopard-only.
