New in Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017.5 Build 9878 (Jun 13, 2017)

  • We’re very excited to announce the latest release of Dreamweaver CC with support for Git, a modern solution for developers working collaboratively. If you work for a design agency or contribute actively to an open source project, it’s likely you’ve used Git before. With Git integrated with the latest release of Dreamweaver, you’ll have the ability to easily maintain versions, efficiently manage source code in a secure repository, and collaborate real-time.
  • Right within Dreamweaver, you can Initialize a new or existing site to create a local Git repository or clone an existing repo.
  • Once cloned or initialized, you can use the Files panel to view file statuses in Git view, as well as perform common Git operations. Changes to code are indicated by Guttermarks in Code View, with appropriate colors to indicate addition, deletion, and modification. So keeping track of what changes have been made is easy to identify.
  • The new Git panel within Dreamweaver CC lets you perform most Git operations, such as Commit, Pull, Push, Fetch, and more. You can also manage Branches and Remote Repositories right within the app.
  • That’s not the only update in this release. You can also find two new code themes: Monaki and Classic. You can use these themes to take advantage of greater contrast and visual appeal of the colors in code view.

New in Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017.1 Build 9583 (May 5, 2017)

  • Support for PHP 7:
  • Create dynamic web pages and services with the latest version of the web's most popular scripting language. PHP 7 includes major performance improvements in code execution, memory usage, and more. Get access to code hints and error checking right from inside Dreamweaver.
  • Improved Find and Replace:
  • The new find bar lets you quickly search through code for simple text, tags, or code elements without blocking your screen. You can also use the new Advanced Search to look within open files, sites and folders with a simple keyboard shortcut or the drop-down menu.

New in Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017.0.2 Build 9391 (Mar 29, 2017)

  • Create email campaigns using Dreamweaver with Campaign:
  • You can now use the Campaign extension for Dreamweaver to create personalized email campaigns.
  • Creating personalized content is very important to make an immediate connection with the reader, and hopefully increase your success rates with email marketing.
  • If you use Dreamweaver to create email campaigns, you can now go a step further and add personalized content (such as the reader's name, or a personalized call to action) using data from Adobe Campaign.
  • To get started, download the Campaign extension by clicking Window > Extensions > Browse Extensions, create a new email newsletter, or edit an existing one. After you finish designing, personalize content using Campaign's personalization fields and content blocks, and you are ready to go.
  • Dreamweaver automatically syncs up with Campaign so that your content changes in Dreamweaver are available for you in Campaign. All you then have to do is enter an email address, and send a personalized campaign to your email recipient.

New in Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017.0.1 Build 9346 (Dec 20, 2016)

  • Now, with Dreamweaver CC 2017.0.1, you can do the following:
  • Create Code Themes, based on default Dark and Light themes
  • Edit existing code themes
  • With the new coding engine, code themes are determined by LESS files, packaged along with Dreamweaver. If you are not familiar to coding LESS files, not a problem. Download the Token Inspector, that lets you visually identify CSS selectors associated with distinct parts of your code. Thereby, modifying colors associated with these selectors, will help you customize code colors and hence the themes, themselves. Do follow instructions on this Help page when you’re customizing code themes.

  • Code hints:
  • The code hinting functionality in Dreamweaver is enhanced to provide more useful information for the selected code.
  • In earlier versions of Dreamweaver, when you type a right-angle bracket, you get a drop-down list of relevant code.
  • In this release, you not only get the relevant code, you also get additional information that helps you to quickly ramp up on HTML, CSS, and other web technologies within Dreamweaver itself.
  • Code display enhancements:
  • The overall appearance of the code is now enhanced for better readability. You can see improvements in code formatting, and code coloring.

  • CSS PRE-PROCESSOR SUPPORT:
  • Dreamweaver now supports common CSS pre-processors like Sass, Less, and SCSS, with full code coloring, and compilation, so you can save time and produce cleaner code.
  • REAL-TIME PREVIEW IN BROWSER:
  • Quickly preview your code changes in browser in real time without manually refreshing your browser. Dreamweaver now connects with your browser so changes appear in your browser instantly without page reloads.
  • QUICK EDITING OF RELATED CODE FILES (QUICK EDIT):
  • To make quick changes to your code, place the cursor on specific code snippets and use the context menu, or press Ctrl-E (on Windows) or Cmd-E (on Mac) to access Quick Edit.
  • Dreamweaver offers context-specific code options and inline tools.
  • IN-CONTEXT CSS DOCUMENTATION:
  • Dreamweaver provides in-context documentation for CSS properties, right within the code view. Now you don't have to navigate outside Dreamweaver to a web page to learn or refer to CSS properties. To bring up help for CSS, press Ctrl+K (on Windows) or Cmd+K (on Mac).
  • MULTIPLE CURSORS TO WRITE AND EDIT CODE:
  • To write multiple lines of code simultaneously, use multi-cursors.
  • This feature is a huge productivity booster, as you don't have to write the same line of code multiple times.
  • To invoke multiple cursors, you can:
  • To add cursors to multiple continous lines - Hold down the Alt key, then click drag vertically.
  • To add cursors in multiple discontinuous lines - Press the Ctrl key, and click the different lines where you want to place the cursor.
  • To select text in multiple continuous lines - Press the Alt key and drag diagonally
  • To select text in multiple discontinuous lines - Select some text, then press the Ctrl key (Windows), or Cmd key (Mac), and continue to make further selections.
  • MODERN USER INTERFACE:
  • Dreamweaver is redesigned with a more intuitive and customizable interface, more accessible menus and panels, and a contextual and configurable toolbar that shows you only the tools you need.
  • The new interface also offers four levels of contrast from light to dark, so it’s easier to read and edit lines of code.
  • Here are before and after snapshots of the new user interface.
  • CHANGES IN MENUS, WORKSPACES AND TOOLBARS:
  • Workspace changes:
  • The Dreamweaver interface is optimized to include the following default workspaces:
  • Developer workspace:
  • This workspace is minimal, and by default, includes only those panels that are most essential for developers who code websites - for instance, the Files, and Snippets panels.
  • Standard workspace:
  • This workspace includes everything you need when you work with both code and design - such as Files, CC Libraries, CSS Designer, Insert, DOM, Assets, and Snippets panels.
  • Menu changes:
  • The application menu is revamped to remove sparingly used menu items, and move others to more intuitive menu locations.
  • Toolbar changes:
  • The toolbar is now common across all views. The toolbar displays only the tools that are required for the view in which you are working. However, you can customize the toolbar to display the required set of tools you need.
  • Status bar changes:
  • The status bar now displays useful information when you work in Code view. You can now:
  • Toggle between INS (Insert) and OVR (Overwrite) modes
  • See the line and column number at the bottom of the screen. These numbers indicate the line and column where the mouse is placed.
  • Select a desired code coloring for different types of code files.
  • SNIPPET PANEL CHANGES:
  • The snippets panel now wears a new cleaner look, and is also redesigned to make the process of inserting snippets easier. In the previous releases of Dreamweaver, you had to insert snippets using keyboard shortcuts. Inserting snippets using keyboard shortcuts was not an efficient process due to the following reasons:
  • The need to remember non-intuitive shortcuts
  • Possible clashes with product keyword shortcuts
  • In this version of Dreamweaver, you can use trigger keys to insert code snippets. Trigger keys are user-friendly text strings assigned to code snippets. For example, for a code snippets that creates a mailto link, you can type "mailto" and make that the trigger key. After you assign a trigger key, place the cursor in your document, type "mailto", and press Tab. Dreamweaver then inserts the related code snippet in your document.
  • FILES PANEL CHANGES:
  • The Files panel is redesigned to make it simpler and more intuitive to use. At its simplest, the Files panel displays a list of only the local files in your computer. As you work more with the Files panel - setting up a site, setting up connections to remote servers, enabling check in and check out, more options appear in the Files panel.
  • CHANGES IN THE WELCOME SCREEN AND ON-BOARDING EXPERIENCE:
  • When you launch Dreamweaver or when you close all Dreamweaver documents, a new Start workspace is displayed. You have convenient access to your recently used files, Libraries, and starter templates with the Start workspace.
  • If you prefer the older dialogs, you can still type Ctrl/Cmd + O to launch the Open dialog, or Ctrl/Cmd + N to launch the New Document dialog.
  • To help you ramp up quickly on the changes in the Dreamweaver CC 2017 workspace, an onboarding experience is available to you. Quickly go through the customization experience, and you will be presented with a workspace and theme options that are right for you
  • LIVE HIGHLIGHTING IN FIND AND REPLACE:
  • The new, non-obtrusive, Find and Replace toolbar sits at the top of your window without blocking any portion of your screen.
  • Find and replace, in general, is faster and more efficient, as compared to previous versions of Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver now looks for search strings as you type in the Find panel and highlights all instances of the string in the current document.
  • CREATIVE CLOUD ASSETS IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Archive, restore, add comments, and see version history for all your assets stored in Creative Cloud, including files in your Creative Cloud Libraries, assets created with CC desktop products, and mobile projects.
  • AUTO-RECOVERY OF FILES AFTER A CRASH:
