It is here! And it is wonderful!
Realmac Software released RapidWeaver 4.0 today. The update is a free upgrade for RapidWeaver users and is a major release.
It has been a long time in the making. When I began beta testing the gem I was taken aback! Its new interface is clean, easy to use and intuitive. And not to mention beautiful.
For those not familiar with RapidWeaver
Sounds pretty easy, huh? It really is. Drop by the RMS site and download your copy today.
Also, we have upgrade our RW themes to be 4.0 compatible. While the theme upgrades are minor for this version, they're done and out of the way, nonetheless.

All updated and ready to go

Whew, we have finished our updates in preparing for RapidWeaver 4.0's immanent arrival.
All of our themes have been upgraded, adding in, and updating, the few files that will bring them up to date for RapidWeaver 4.0.
All of our latest themes have already been shipped with the files needed and the rest fixed today or a couple of weeks ago when we sent out other updates.
The themes updated today all got updaters, which make it easier to do the upgrades. The updater only replaces the following files within your theme(s):
• Preview.Png
• Preview_Large.jpg
• Theme.Plist
All other files within the theme go untouched.
For the updater to work your themes must be located in the Library>Application Support>RapidWeaver folder located in your User folder. If you're unsure what this means, then you have probably not moved your themes or modified them. The updaters will only work with the theme installed. Without the theme it is useless.
Also, people have asked whether changes they have made themselves to their Theme.Plist file will get overwritten. Yes. This updater replaces that file. Be sure to back it up if necessary before running the updater.
Here are the updaters once again from today:
Cloud — Download Updater
Dark — Download Updater
Light — Download Updater
Organic — Download Updater
Origami — Download Updater
Paper — Download Updater
Plastic — Download Updater
Ribbon — Download Updater
Sprout — Download Updater
Toast — Download Updater
Again, all of our themes have been updated for 4.0 or shipped with the needed files at their release. So if your theme is not on this list, it is already ready for RW 4.0.
[Update]: Many have asked if the updated themes will work with RapidWeaver 3.6. Yes. The new and updated files provided by these updaters have no adverse affects on RapidWeaver 3.6.
