Bee Documents has released Bee Docs' Timeline 2.0, an update to its timeline software that is redesigned from the ground up to support multimedia-rich timeline charts. "Bee Docs' Timeline 2.0 software allows Mac users to create beautiful and interactive timeline charts in mere minutes," the company said. The latest release is designed to work with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and is priced at $40.

"Although this software is a complete redesign, we have embraced the same spirit of the original version. Version 2.0 will continue to allow professionals to create beautiful timeline charts quickly and with minimal fuss," said Bee Documents' founder Adam Behringer. "At the same time, it will afford non-professionals the ability to design unique family trees, holiday letters, baby's first years and even iTunes playlists from the comfort and convenience of their home computers."

The update was developed in close collaboration with students, lawyers, professors, and writers to ensure support for the needs of those users.
