It has been a busy day, not to mention the week before, but Rapidweaver 4.0 (RW4) made it's way out of Beta. Along with it a whole new Rapidweaver web site, forum and manual.
IMHO, this is the best RW yet. An updated interface as well as something very new; Sandwiches. Real Mac Software has created an open file format for the Rapidweaver Project file called a Sandwich. You can right click on this file and access all the stored information that RW4 uses to create the site files when you publish or export the site. This opens possibilities for editing the site even when you don't have RW4 around to work on the site. I have not delved into this deeply yet, it will be interesting.
To put the frosting on the cake, all popular plugins where updated recently to work work with RW4. The newest member of this family is Collage2. Isaiah over at Yourhead has created a whole new version of this popular plugin. You can use Collage v1 right along with Collage 2. Just remember that Collage 2 is not compatible with previous versions of Rapidweaver and does not work with existing pages created with Collage v1.
If you are holding back, my word is: Don't. Jump in and get RW4. It's free for all RW3.6+ users. Don't forget to update your plugins too.
Just in case you are wondering where the old Forum is with all it's content, check out this Post
