Realmac Software
Looking Backwards and Forwards
Wednesday, 19 December 2007
As we approach the Christmas break in the Realmac Office, we've been looking back on 2007...
It's been quite a year for RapidWeaver. The user base has grown by tens of thousands of people, and the application is now more stable and more mature than ever before. I'd like to thank all the Theme and Plugin developers, and especially the users for all their support.
Without you guys RapidWeaver really wouldn't be what it is today. Thank you!
Next year is going to be a very exciting time for RapidWeaver and its users. We'll be releasing version 4.0, and with that some monumental changes are happening, even more than we had anticipated.
Due to the changes we're making to the core of RapidWeaver, we've unfortunately had to push back the release schedule. But on the positive side you'll be rewarded with a much better application!
We're currently aiming to have a private beta out in the early part of 2008. And yes, RapidWeaver 4.0 is a FREE upgrade for all 3.6 users, but it will require Leopard. Don't worry if you're not planning on upgrading to Leopard anytime soon as we will continue to support 3.6 for the foreseeable future.
Happy Holidays and here's to 2008!
Oh, and if you want to keep a closer eye on what we're up to here in the office, you can find us all on Pownce!

What's New?
Thursday, 19 July 2007
Our blog has been a little quite for the last few weeks, so I thought it was about time I gave an update on what's going on here at Realmac HQ.
ButtonBuilder
As you may be aware we recently released ButtonBuilder as open source over at Realmac Forge. The new version is coming along great and is almost ready for release as a usable app. You'll be able to find out more at buttonbuilderapp.com once it goes live early next week.
New Pro Theme
We have a great new theme in the pipeline that will appeal to the pro market. We're really pleased with the way it turned out and hope you love it as much as we do. Expect to see this new theme around the time of the next RapidWeaver update...
RapidWeaver 3.6.2 Update
This is a nice little update that fixes plenty of outstanding bugs, and adds a few small features and UI enhancements. If all goes to plan this will be released late next week or early the following week. More news on this soon!
RapidWeaver Manual
We're just putting the finishing touches to the new RapidWeaver 3.6 manual, we've tried to make it as comprehensive as possible and cover every aspect of the software. It'll be released at the same time as the 3.6.2 update.
New RSS Feeds
We've recently started using FeedBurner to manage our feeds. If you're using our old RSS links to subscribe, you should head over to our feeds page and update them now.
Phew, that's it for now. We have about a billion other things going on, but I can't talk about any of that just yet.
