Hello Weavers,

We’ve just released RapidWeaver Classic 9.6.8, a small but important update focused on stability. This version smooths out a few lingering issues reported by users and ensures Classic continues to run smoothly.

## What’s New in RapidWeaver Classic 9.6.8?

- Update PHP to 8.4.15, add INTL support
- Fix filename not showing when uploading
- Fix FTP browser buttons not working in Tahoe
- Improve test button appearance in bookmarks

## Download Classic

You can [download the latest version of RapidWeaver Classic](https://dl.devant.io/v1/3c53887f-427a-4af7-9144-ee16178c62f4/RapidWeaver.zip), or if you already have Classic installed, simply launch the app and choose **RapidWeaver Classic → Check for Updates…** from the menu to update automatically.

## A Look Toward the Future

We know many of you have built your workflow around RapidWeaver Classic, and we want to reassure you that we’re continuing to maintain and update it with important fixes, and optimisations to keep things running smoothly.

That said, as we pour more energy into building **[RapidWeaver Elements](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver)**, we believe now’s a great time to start exploring what’s next.

I would try Elements if I could replicate the Photo Album page features in Classic.

Will classic update if I have an elements license?

It looks like they have the same serial number.

I have one site made in classic that will be difficult to remake in elements, at least without a major amount of time. But, I would like to update the classic site.

Thx

No sorry, Elements and Classic require different license numbers.

You can continue to use Classic (even if your license has expired). i.e. you don’t need to purchase another year of updates.

Hope that helps.
