Macromedia Studio MX 2004
Macromedia's announced new versions of the Studio MX programs. From what I can tell, the changes to Dreamweaver are almost entirely around better CSS support (someday, somebody will make a good wysiwyg editor that renders html correctly in the tool). Flash now comes in a "professional" edition, which at last ditches the timeline metaphor. I remember back in the days of Director 6 developers were begging Macromedia to allow users to organize projects into heirarchical structures. (Is this a feature now in Director?) Flash's Actionscript is now at 2.0, and from the very limited screenshots and examples, it looks to be drasticly different--at least as much of a change form the "first" version in Flash MX was from Flash 5. It looks to be much closer to Java now, and so isn't that different from Proce55ing's language.
