We all know Adobe Updater. And the pain that it often brings. But there is good news–maybe. New on the Eric Wilde’s blog over at Adobe is a post about what’s coming up in the next version of Adobe Updater, presumably in the next CS release, CS5.
Some depressing news for HomeSite fans: HomeSite development has been discontinued with Adobe directing users to use it’s Dreamweaver product. From the article:
After careful consideration, Adobe discontinued development of Macromedia® HomeSite® software effective May 26, 2009. Field and channel sales of the product ended on May 26 and sales across all channels, including the online Adobe Store, ended June 18, 2009. Existing customers are encouraged to consider the development environment of Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS4 software.
The expected crying and carrying on eulogies are available at the Adobe user forums and the creator of HomeSite, Nick Bradbury, has some parting words up on his blog as well.

After an iBook-death forced her to migrate to another computer, Lisa found that she couldn’t activate her legally-purchased copy of Macromedia StudioMX 2004. Adobe insisted that the software was too old to be reactivated. Too old? It’s software!
