According to Adobe the new version of Dreamweaver will be shipping in April. It’s loaded with new features, which I’ve fortunately been able to test out. Read my first-look on Dreamweaver CS3 over at Macworld.com.
You can find more information on the Dreamweaver product page at Adobe.com.
And, yes, I’m busy working on the next version of my book: Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual.
Are you having trouble running Dreamweaver 8 on Windows Vista? If so, you’re not alone. Adobe has posted several technical notes describing the problems and various solutions:

As I’ve blogged about in the past (see Dreamweaver 8 and PHP 5.1.4 busted), Dreamweaver 8 has some problems with the latest versions of PHP. If you don’t use PHP for your Web sites, don’t worry about it. If you use an older version of PHP (like PHP 5.0 or PHP 4.xx) then you also don’t need to worry about it.
The entire problem is discussed in an Adobe Tech Note. Adobe offers a download that fixes these problems. You can get it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/ts/docume nts/b6c2ae2a/DW802_HotFix-0_6_0.zip
