Artisteer 2.4 for Windows Beta released.
Version 2.3 RC4 for Mac updated.

February 5, 2010

Artisteer 2.4 for Windows Beta is finally here!
Some of the new features include:

Vertical Menu support
Flash effects in the header
Sidebar design/skinning
Color picker in color selection dialogs
Couple other minor goodies that you may discover

Additionally the version 2.4 will work only in Trial mode if your free upgrade period has expired. For more information on our upgrade policy please refer to our FAQ. You can check your upgrade subscription status here.

Please note that this is an early rushed Beta and unexpected issues are possible. Please do not install it if you are doing important work and cannot afford lost time if something doesn't work properly - test at your own risk. Additionally, this version was released immediately after initial tests and compilation, therefore it is new even to our support staff - please be patient while we are learning new features and answers to related questions.
To download version 2.4 Beta please click here.

For Mac users we've updated Artisteer 2.3 to Release Candidate 4 (specifically version 2.3.0.23926) available here.
One of the issues with previously released version RC2 was related to X11 and we decided to remove X11 dependences in version RC3. Unfortunately this caused several new issues that we believe are finally resolved in version RC4. We'd appreciate if you let us know if you still experience any instability on your Mac. If not, this will be the official Artisteer version for Mac and we can move onto 2.4!

Artisteer 2.2 for Mac (Beta) has arrived

June 26, 2009

Artisteer 2.2 for Mac (Beta) is now available by clicking here. Couple interesting facts:

Artisteer for Mac joins the family of products based on cross-platform .NET framework known as Mono.
Artisteer might be the first product for Mac OS utilizing the ribbon interface first introduced in Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows.

Technical notes and known issues for beta testers:

Artisteer for Mac runs on Intel based hardware with OS X version 10.5 (Leopard).
Artisteer for Mac requires X11 which is usually installed by default on OS X 10.5.
Artisteer may require approx 1 minute to start the first time after installation.
The "Open" and "Save" dialogs display Windows style folder structure and may require additional navigation to desired Mac folders.
The top Mac menu bar does not offer an option to quit Artisteer. Use the Artisteer menu, keyboard shortcut 'Command'+'Q', or the red window close button to quit.
Please do not click anywhere within the web design preview area. Currently this disables keyboard shortcuts and may cause other unexpected behavior.
Certain amount of instability and limitations (as above) are expected due to limitations of the current Mono framework 2.4.
There is a slight chance that your Mac computer may freeze when using Artisteer (this happened once in our tests). Please save all your work often in case you need to reboot your computer.
For technical users willing to help us debug occasional crashes, instructions are available here.

Customers who purchased an Artisteer license can use it on both PC and Mac computers (one each) during the beta period, while after product release it can be used on one computer. An official release date of the Mac version will be planned after receiving detailed issue reports from our beta testers and determining how much work is needed to resolve those issues.
Please send feedback and report reproducible issues to our support via the Contact Us page.
