CS4 Targeted for October 1 Release?

See at the bottom.

The article is about Photoshop gaining GPU acceleration, which sounds very nice, but the author mentions the entire creative suite is targeted for an October 1st release. I’m not sure how reliable this information is, but seeing as how he was at an Adobe presentation, I’d hazard a guess to say this was passed along to the audience rather than pulled from thin air by the author.

EDIT: KIBOSHED. Seems as though the date was made up. Oh well.

Sounds accurate. Heck they proably just updated the gui for fireworks and dreamweaver and called it good. :slight_smile:
[ot]I can’t wait for the new version our office came back and we have well enough in the budget for CS4 (but we only get Fireworks, PS, and Flash) and new version of Komodo.[/ot]

I’m feeling kind of excited and kind of meh’ish about this.

Your tautology sure is representative of all of us.

I thought they were going to make an intutiive Office 2007-like ribbon interface for CS4. They’ve got all the features no competitor can make any time soon. They really need to work on the interface.

Now I get to wait even longer 'till I upgrade from Flash 8 :party:

I hope the actions editor of the new Flash gets an upgrade… =)

I’ve totally given up on the Flash IDE. FlashDevelop is just way too much better.

Yay! :party:

I wouldn’t necessarily say I’ve completely given up on it, I still code in it when it’s most efficient to (particularly when working with AS2-based ad templates) but outside of that, it’s far too clunky and simply doesn’t match up to what else is out there. It’s rather foolish to have the Actions panel in it’s current state, it’s utter garbage and there’s too many people who code in it for them not to improve it.

yeah, FlashDevelop rocks. But i still use the Flash IDE for quick tests and experiments.

Don’t get too excited folks:

Crap. At least I put a question mark on the thread title when writing it :slight_smile:

I have flash CS3, can’t tell you the last time I opened it. Theres no reason for it when ones developing in AS3. Flash hopefully moved their action planes to its own tab.

It should be set up like visual studio, a design tab and then code tabs.

…almost like Flex Builder? :stuck_out_tongue:

^Hmm… never used it but yes probably :slight_smile: The place I work for buys them cheaper separately so we only get the ones we use, I’ll try to throw it on the list when cs4 comes out.

SE | PY > AS Panel. McGuffin makes it sound like it’s going to be something to push the movie forward.

If you like SEPY you’ll adore Flash Develop. It’s much better than either one.

Yeah. No. Keep dreaming. It’s ado-‘slowupdates’-be.

BUT GIVE ME A DANG DOTTED LINES TOOL. PLEASE.

I gotta say, I kinda miss the days of a program version being out forever, and having meaningful “.5” updates. It’s always a major release these days. :-/

Basic marketing strategies? Consumers are more likely to buy a new full version release than a ‘dot something’ upgrade.

Adobe should just concentrate on improving the present CS3. I’m getting irritated by the auto-format bug which keeps flushing all my code to the left every now and then (especially when i use alot of nested {} brackets) :crying:
