As you may know, we’ve been working hard on 8.2 for many months, and I’m pleased to say it’s now available Thanks to everyone who helped with the beta, it really does makes a difference!
So, on to the good stuff, here’s a list of what’s new:
What’s New in RapidWeaver 8.2
Lists in styled text areas should now behave a little better
Improved the speed of export when publishing to a RAM disk
RapidWeaver is now Notarized via Apple
Further work on improving the way missing resources are searched for (and hopefully found).
Fixed an issue where users were unable to “Copy Support Logs”
Removed the SFTP public key field from publishing settings (as it’s not required)
Fixed the preview issue where RapidWeaver wouldn’t update the preview correctly
Fixed a bug where RapidWeaver would appear to hang during publishing (possibly caused by OpenSSL and certificate/server issues)
Fixed up a tonne of issues with the Photo Album page type
Contact form now updates correctly when changing page properties
Control + Left Click a resource in the resource browser now works correctly
Improved performance when accessing files, especially from remote drives
Fixed a crash in the crash reporter, and it does make you wonder if perhaps we need a crash reporter for the crash reporter.
Fixed an issue where preview would get stuck in an endless loop (or dare I say infinite loop).
Fixed an issue when saving with an image attachment in styled text areas would deadlock the app
If you’re still using an older version of RapidWeaver, we’d urge you to upgrade now. This is honestly the best version of RapidWeaver we’ve ever shipped.
Edit: Some users have reported developer identity errors when launching RapidWeaver. A new build is now available that rectifies this problem.
That’s a standard non-MAS security warning. Just go to your System Prefs/Security/General and just ok the app there. Or wait for the MAS version to pop up - I imagine it will be soon.
Between 11 and 12 Apple introduced some massive changes to MacOS, by stating 12 RM are ensuring compatibility.
It WILL work in 12 and MAY work in 11, if you experience problems then it’s on you.
For example, a lot of stacks are now requiring php version 7 or greater, 10.11 has php5
Installed new version and also get a new console window with every preview and a new console window when returning to editor, so 2 new consoles every time I preview.
Just installed again, I don’t get a new console window when hitting preview now, but i do get new console window when returning to editor from the preview. so now i’m just getting one new console window when i preview
btw the new console window appears behind so you don’t see them till you minimise RW.
Just re-booted, started RW then hit preview and no console window appeared, then went back to RW editor and no console window appeared.
However when i started safari…
The console windows appeared twice again on RW preview, so I then closed safari, tried again and the console windows did not show.
So they only seem to appear when safari is open
Also just tried with Chrome open and it doesn’t seem to be affected, so it’s related to Safari
Here’s my finding: I installed the update and was able to work without console windows showing up for the last 15 min or so. In that time I previously checked the page I was working on in Safari (cmd-p). Now, after some time of no issues, the console popped up again. It has a header line of “Web information - iMac - RapidWeaver - JSContext” and the window is empty.
