I've played with the pre-release beta, and now the demo, and my general assessment is positive.
FrameMaker 8 is a base-of-platform release, meaning that Adobe threw in the basic features it's going to develop and augment in the 8-series line, mainly to bring it up to par with other Adobe software on the level of its internals and interoperability. This is very positive, and for those of us who remember the inevitably circular "Is Frame dead?" discussions from four months ago, a real boon. There will inevitably be patches, and most software of x.0 status isn't "ready" until x.1, but that's more the nature of software development than something specific to FrameMaker 8. --- Bodvar Bjorgvinsson <bodvar at gmail.com> wrote: > Lot of things here to support my suspicion that Adobe should have > waited a couple of months with this release.
