And when Creative Suite 3 finally shipped in April of this year, GoLive was nowhere in sight (see “ Adobe Ships Creative Suite 3, Offers Video Betas,” ). Then, late last year, Adobe officially dropped GoLive from the Creative Suite in favor of Dreamweaver, untying it from the sole reason many people presumably still used GoLive: it was part of the bundle (see “ GoLive Booted from Adobe Creative Suite, Acrobat 8 Released,” ). Dreamweaver had essentially trounced GoLive in the marketplace, a fact reflected in the disappointing sales of the book we co-authored, “Real World Adobe GoLive.” Following Adobe’s acquisition of Macromedia in 2005 (see “ Adobe Swallows Macromedia,” ), Glenn Fleishman and I figured that GoLive would either be sold or put out to pasture like its sibling FreeHand (see “ Farewell FreeHand,” ). I didn’t expect to see any further development of GoLive, especially not what appears to be significant engineering work in GoLive 9. GoLive 9 also appears to be reinventing itself as a powerful CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) tool, even though its CSS capabilities have been pretty good in GoLive 9 now supports Intel-based Macs as a universal binary, adds paragraph and character styles similar to InDesign’s implementation, inherits the new user interface of Creative Suite 3, adds a Place command (also similar to InDesign), simplifies site management, and inter-operates with other Adobe applications. Last week Adobe surprised me with the release of GoLive 9, an update to the company’s previous flagship Web design application before it acquired Dreamweaver. Or, perhaps more apt in this case, wrong for the time being. #1630: Apple Books changes in iOS 16, simplified USB branding, recovering a lost Google Workspace account.#1631: iOS 16.0.3 and watchOS 9.0.2, roller coasters trigger Crash Detection, Medications in iOS 16, watchOS 9 Low Power Mode. ![]() #1632: Apple Card Savings accounts, SOS in the iPhone status bar, Tab Wrangler, Focus in iOS 16.#1633: macOS 13 Ventura and other OS updates, 10th-gen iPad, M2 iPad Pro, 3rd-gen Apple TV 4K, Apple services price hikes.#1634: New Messages features, Apple Q4 2022 results, Preview drops PostScript, iOS/iPadOS 15.7.1, Dvorak on iPhone and iPad.
