Macromedia releases Studio 8
— A new version of my bread and butter software is out. Let's hope it's got more than just GUI improvements this time.”
Studio 8 is here, announced Macromedia on Monday.
I’ve taken a look at the demos. A lot of the focus seems to have been on GUI improvements and extended support for technologies.
There haven’t been too many changes in Flash 8 – better video support, some more development for non-coders, improved GUIs and so on.
Dreamweaver 8 is gearing up for better CSS support, but it actually looked a bit confusing from the demo.
Fireworks 8 introduces more filters to bring it closer to Photoshop and some interesting CSS support for menus. Freehand remains unchanged (again).

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
