Hello!
It’s finally here… the first private dev beta of RapidWeaver 8!
Please be aware this is unfinished, features are missing, things are broken, yadda yadda yadda. We’re hoping to add some more of the requests you guys have made in the RW 8 thread to beta 2 .
Things are in flux and will change, we know we have a lot to fix and tidy up. However, I’ve found RW8 to be good enough for daily use. I would encourage you all to use it full time. Please let us me know what you think, and please report back with any issues you hit.
Read the list of release notes below to find out what’s new.
[NEW] New App Icon
[NEW] Updated and Improved many aspects of the User Interface
[NEW] New “Basic” page type, supports text, images, video and html (name and feature set will change, very buggy also)
[NEW] New Resources Browser; support for local files, folders, ftp, photos, and Unsplash
[NEW] Added automatic (& manual) support for Facebook Open Graph
[NEW] Added support for editing .htaccess files, we also made it easy to keep revisions and roll back changes
[NEW] New Addons manager in the Preferences Window, inlcudes support for searching, enabling and disabling
[NEW] RapidWeaver no longer requires you to have a standard file type extension (perfect if you want to add your own .htaccess files or .css files using the code page type)
[NEW] Added an option to allow the Web server to start automatically when a poject is opened
[NEW] Redid the add page menu making it cleaner and faster to use
[NEW] Updated the “HTML Code” page type, it’s now know as just “Code” and “Apply Theme” is off by default
[NEW] Server port can now be specified on a per project basis under “Advanced”
[FIXED] Server name is more clearly shown as editable
[FIXED] Fixed an issue where SSL certificates don’t correctly present the trust window
[FIXED] SSH publishing now allows a pem file to be selected. Public key is now optional
[FIXED] Improved handling of changed files when publishing
[FIXED] Numerous other minor bug fixes and improvements
[DEV] Added a new method to allow plugins to insert code just before the closing body tag: - (NSString *)extraBodyHTML:(NSDictionary *)parameters
Files saved in RapidWeaver 8 are not compatible with RapidWeaver 7. This is why when a user opens and saves an RW7 file in RW8 we prompt the user to save a new file.
This should go without saying, but please do not mention anything about RW 8 in public (or to anyone outside of the forum).

If you’d like a serial for RaidWeaver 8, please msg me directly on this forum and I’ll generate you a license.
Oh, and here’s some screenshots of a few new things in RW…

What about the parallel use of RW7 and RW8?
dan

Yes, that works just fine especially if you have a custom addon folder location — In fact I’d recommend you do that, that way you can point both RW7 and RW8 to the same place. It’s what I do

Is that a requirement at the moment?

Thanks Dan.
Did some 5 minute testing with 2 of my Stacks, all works well.
Using a separate Addon folder also works (not required)

With that, also Stacks, Foundation and Foundry are looking good. Well, as said, 5 minute testing.
The Basic Plugin looks nice.

Yes, all existing plugins, themes, and stacks should work well. I’ve had zero issues.
Hoping to make the RW8 launch a smooth one.

Thanks for the crash report, @tpbradley has just fixed this issue. Will push out a new build later in the week.
Keep the feedback coming!

OK, I couldn’t resist opening up the beta instead of working. LOL
Liking the idea behind the “Basic” page so far. One thing I did feel like was at first I was unsure how to get the next section on the page. Then I randomly hit Enter and got a new section. I originally clicked the plus sign like 12 times thinking that was how. Maybe an info icon or something instead of a plus sign, and on the next line use a plus icon to add a new section? Like this:
Also, it would be cool to add a Divider Line to this drop down to insert an <hr> tag:
Will get back to playing with this a bit later! Can’t wait to watch RW 8 grow and evolve right before our eyes.
Also, @defligra it looks like you got your wish with this new page type. But it definitely feels different than Stacks.

Congrats! As ftp/sftp port is a seperate field, are you upgrading rw7 projects and extracting the port from the server/hostname?

Thanks for all the feedback so far, it’s really helpful.
We’ve just pushed out a new build, here’s the direct download linke - RapidWeaver 8 build 19210b
We’ve managed to squash a bunch of bugs and add a few new minor things.
Further updates and improvements to the “Basic” plugin.
Added a preference to generate social tags (includes a space for a twitter handle too)
Unsplash UI and API refinements
You can now right-click in the theme managed to set a default theme.
Fixed the broken blog date formatter
A bunch of other things fixed and improved.
Lots more goodies on the way, so you can expect another build or two next week!
Cheers

Not sure how much you liked my color swatch ideas. Here is another one, not as good as my original idea but would still go a long way… https://twitter.com/SketchTricks/status/969906487983304704
This should go without saying, but please do not mention anything about RW 8 in public (or to anyone outside of the forum).
Please post all bug reports for this build on this thread or email me directly — dan@realmacsoftware.com
