FreeHand MX now available - The first major commercial application for Mac OSX is now the first product to go through a full development cycle as an OSX application and is the first second generation OSX app in the world. WooHoo. If you are a FreeHand user or a Flash user you should check out the press release or go on over to MacCentral where there is a good write up of the news. Too many features here to mention, but from what I understand there was a major effort to get community input into this release and there are lots of good things there.    7:31:24 AM      comment []

DevNet - Macromedia is announcing our new DevNet service that will ship shortly. DevNet is designed to get professionals into the Macromedia Studio at one fixed price that includes all the updates and upgrades for a year and periodic value in the form of DevNet Resource Kits that include extensions and add-ons for our products. Being able to count on your costs for software for the entire year without having to find supplementary budget when you don't expect to need it is a big plus. How did we do? For some folks the full subscription will be less useful than the essentials subscription (which does not cover the software, but gives you a yearly subscription to the quarterly DRKs.) Our initial responses have been really positive. Please let us know what you think. www.macromedia.com/devnet/subscriptions/ 7:27:06 AM      comment []
