RapidWeaver 3.6 released
Realmac Software today released RapidWeaver 3.6, an update to the website creation application for Mac OS X with a snippet manager to help handle frequently-used code via drag-and-drop. The latest release includes a richer blogging engine, and simplifies the process of customizing themes with a new 'Themes Styles' feature -- allowing users to selectively choose which colors to use alongside a preferred layout for any given website. RapidWeaver 3.6 is priced at $50, with upgrades for all existing users available for $25. The software requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.
RapidWeaver 3.6 includes a completely rewritten Flash slideshow feature that offers different transitions, background audio, and the Ken Burns effect. A new option is also offered with iPhoto integration that allows users of the Flickr photo sharing service to use Flickr-hosted photos in the slideshow by entering a photostream's RSS feed into RapidWeaver.
Further improvements include six new themes, easy creation of lists, detailed publishing, and an improved blog feature with tags as well as inline comment support.

worth it?
why the %$&! do users have to pay more than 50% of the origininal value for a minor upgrade? 3.51 to 3.6 is $25? The program is okay, but I didn't realize that every little upgrade was $25. This is just not right.
