Download Nvu 0.90

Nvu is a so-called Web Authoring System of the company Linspire Inc. for the Windows platform, the Linux platform, and the MacOS X platform. The direct competitors of this package are programs such as Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver. The big difference that is immediately noticeable between these packages is open source/closed source and the cost of use.

Nvu is based on Mozilla Composer’s code base and has as a guideline to be easy to use, even for the non-tech-savvy user. The development team, led by Daniel Glazman, has introduced a new version that has been given 0.90 as the version number. The list of changes looks like this:

Nvu 0.90 is now available from its official web site or the official mirror below, thanks to Olivier Gambier hosting it. Linspire 4.5 users should download it through CNR. With a new theme designed by Linspire Inc. and more stability, we’re approaching 1.0. The next official release will be a 1.0PR before the final one. Stay tuned!
