Download Nvu 0.60

Nvu was able to experience an upgrade to version 0.60 a few days ago. Nvu is a package with which websites can be developed, a so-called Web Authoring System. It was designed by Daniel Glazman for Linspire and is based on Mozilla. Several compiled versions are available for Windows as well as Linux and MacOS X. The software competes with programs such as FrontPage and Dreamweaver and aims to be easy to use, even for the non-tech-savvy user. The list of changes looks like this:

Change Log

• still based on Mozilla 1.7.1
• rulers completely rewritten to fix big bugs and allow simulation of vertical text in the vertical ruler
• Site Manager completely rewritten to allow editing of more than one site at the same time and fix a lot of bugs
• Site Manager can now display the system’s default icon on Windows and linux (KDE only for the moment)
• Hiding and showing again the site manager now preserves its contents
• dragging an image from a linux file browser and dropping it onto Nvu’s editing area now inserts the image into the document. Other files generate a link. In the past, only the text “file://…” corresponding to the url of the object was inserted into the document
• too many bug fixes to list them all

Known Issues

• internal links to the help viewer don’t work well and often launch an external browser
• the -edit command line option still does not work correctly. v0.7 should be based on Firefox 1.0, that will solve this problem.
