Hey Weavers, We’re back with another build of RapidWeaver Classic, and this time it has a fresh new icon designed by our friends at Parakeet. I’m sure it’ll take a bit of getting used to for some of you, but we love it as it keeps the RapidWeaver colours, along with the iconic puzzle pieces and pencil! ![Squash, Classic, and Elements Update for Liquid Glass](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/1/1125d902869fab7066b122ccc33a150d3437ebfe.jpeg) Anyway, here’s what’s new in this build… ### What’s New in Classic 10 Beta 4 - Added new Tahoe Liquid Glass app icon designed by Parakeet. - Added native PHP build support for macOS 12 and later - Fixed attachment display and interactions on macOS 27 for improved compatibility. - Updated to PHP 8.4.27 and PHP 8.5.12. - PHP build versions are now derived from the bundled filenames. - Further fixes and improvements to keep things running smoothly under modern macOS! ### RapidWeaver Classic 10 Updates so far… - Classic now requires macOS 12 or later. - Updated settings, preferences, and built-in plugins for current macOS versions, including macOS 27. - Added an optional upload speed limit shared across all active remote publishing connections. - Publishing connection tests now show DNS lookup and TCP connection times. - Explicit FTPS is now labelled FTPES. - Amazon S3 publishing now automatically uses the selected bucket’s region. - Fixed a crash when multiple FTP connections were active. - Preview export errors now appear on the affected document, avoiding a potential crash. - Fixed a crash when dragging items in the project outline. - Fixed a crash when clicking a site resource on macOS 27. - Fixed a crash caused by folders inside Site Resources when activating a site. - Clicking Cancel or pressing Escape when removing blog entries no longer deletes them. - Added authenticated SMTP support to Contact Forms, including Elements Hosting.
