- Raw HTML and Advanced Features (Pro Version)
What's new in this version:
- Sped up thumbnail generation and image access.
- Greatly enhanced iMedia browser with faster thumbnail generation and caching of movie thumbnails.
- Many fixes to publishing (and exporting); we now verify that files have been uploaded (FTP/WebDAV).
- Solved several QuickTime crashers in both Sandvox and iMedia browser.
- Video pages now work better with WMV files. (You need Flip4Mac installed to work with WMVs within Sandvox.) WMVs are now embedded with proper HTML Windows Media handlers so that WMV pages will be Windows-compatible. Note on Flip4Mac: the current version does not honor the "autoplay" attribute; movies always autoplay.
- Worked around a crash from WebKit when removing an editable node.
- Fixed a WebKit crash in entering Japanese text.
- Changed logic for preventing loading of external pages when that preference is set. (This was the issue that was killing "+" buttons in previous versions.)
- Improved file name legalizing: it was removing too many characters.
- Solved a long-standing issue with media references that would sometimes fail.
- Fix for issue where loading a page containing large numbers of images would slowly grind everything to a halt.
- Fix for issue with not being able to cancel out of reverting to a snapshot.
- Fix for issue where uploaded scaled images were out of sync with preferred format. This issue also manifests itself as thumbnails suddenly not showing up after publishing. This fix should help with that, too.
- Fix for issue where keywords were not being saved if edited just before closing a document.
- Fix for issue where deleting the first page in a collection would sometimes crash Sandvox.
- Fix for issue where Web View would not always match Site Outline selection.
- Fix for issue where Sandvox would try to make an editable in-line element out of external IMG tags.
- Fix for long-standing issue where changing an already existing link would sometimes end up in a double link.
- Fix for issue where, after locating a missing Media file, Sandvox still displayed a missing media icon.
- Sandvox now properly handles image names that start with "_".
- Improved marking appropriate pages as needing uploading when certain site and/or collection properties are changed.
- Improved memory usage when uploading, especially in generation of not-yet-cached scaled images.
- Cleaned up memory "leaks" throughout.
- Several optimizations should improve overall speed in working with documents.
- A font collection of "web-safe" fonts is put into the Font panel to help choose appropriate fonts.
- Fixed HTML 4.0.1 generation to not generate self-closing tags; HTML 4.0.1 output should now validate.
- Updates to nearly 200 pages of online help.
- You can now drag an image into a block of editable rich text without setting focus on the block first.
- Several fixes to problems where changes in the inspector would not reflect in the Site Outline or Web View.
- Fix to FTP system to wait to send out data until the output stream is ready.
- Hold down the option key when launching Sandvox to enable core dumps in case of a crash or forced abort.
- Many, many other bug fixes.

A lot of people who have a need for decent web sites but don't have a budget for them usually end up with something that simply doesn't carry much "Google Juice." Funny that since our friends with the funny name are essentially the holy grail of search. Most simple-to-use web design programs seem to ignore this fact and make poorly coded sites that make real web designers cringe.
Not Sandvox from Karelia Software. This affordable and easy-to-use program takes full advantage of the Mac interface while also incorporating all the search engine optimization functionality you need.
While there isn't everything you'd find in something like Dream Weaver, this program is also logical and makes sense. I own Dream Weaver too but more often than not I'm using Sandvox. It's simple, effective and lets me get the job done without navigating Adobe's byzantine menu and palate system. Yuck.
Here are some of the sites I've done in Sandvox for your reference:

"Stuck" On Watson? - Version: 1.6.2, 6/2/2009 11:52AM PST

For those who can't seem to get it through their heads, here it is again:
What happened to Watson was NOT Karelia's fault.
They held up their end of the deal, and continue to do so to this day. If you want to complain about the death of Watson, go complain at SUN, and rip on their products.
Blaming Karelia for SUN's decision to re-neg on their agreement to continue to produce Watson is like blaming the newspaper carrier for the fact that your toaster stopped working.

Wasn't Karelia Software bought out by Sun?
