Adobe Fireworks CS5
Adobe just release its’ CS5 collection a few hours ago , I missed the live web launching due to a citywide blackout, sux!. Just like the previous CS versions , it comes in different flavors , Adobe CS5 Design Premium $1,899 , Adobe CS5 Web Premium $1,799 , Adobe CS5 Production Premium $1,699 and the most expensive one , Adobe CS5 Master Collection $2,599 , all of these suites also have an upgrade price for previous owners. You can pre order them , expected release would be around May , the trial is not available yet. The packaging looks awesome too, a mirror / reflection effect compared to the abstract effect last year.
Im pretty much excited with the new Fireworks CS5 which costs $300, and $150 for the upgrade, it’s also included in the CS5 Web Premium Package. Most of the new stuff are upgrades or enhacements to the previous Fireworks CS4 , some extensive performance enhancements , improved type handling ( finally ! ) and the new pixel precise rendering that I want to try. I just can’t wait for the trial download to test it out.
You can view the fireworks product page here.

The system requirements for a windows machine is mostly thesame as fireworks cs4, except for the resolution or display size, i use 1024 x 768 (minimum for cs4 is 1024 x 768 )Â , fireworks cs5 as posted in the site , is 1280 x 1024 , I hope fireworks can still run on my ancient machine.

Don't get too excited, Adobe didn't even make a screencast for the release of Fireworks CS5 – so you didn't really miss out on much at all due to the blackout.
I'm still excited about the changes to CS5, I love Fireworks as well.
Thanks for the info Blue.But we don't even yet familiarized with cs4 before cs5 launched. Can u give me the list of new features o cs5 please?
