What's new in this version:
- New German localization, courtesy of Jens Hembach.
- Document windows now restore their full positions, including origin, upon opening.
- Selected images within a block of text are now highlighted more like Apple Mail; the yellow "halo" that Sandvox drew around selected images was often being inadvertently published. (The selection region with the new highlighting is a little odd in some cases; we are waiting for a fix from Apple for this to be made right.)
- Fixes to problems with the green "+" editing markers: Adding a block of text now selects the placeholder text; removing a block of text now replaces the empty area with the editing marker.
- Fixed issue with RSS feeds containing incorrect image paths for scaled images. Additionally, RSS feeds are now always sorted reverse chronological, regardless of the sorting of the collection it indexes.
- Site outline contextual menus have been greatly improved: selection is altered, if necessary, to reflect exactly which page(s) will be affected by menu actions; the full range of actions are now available for all pages via the contextual menu, including the home page.
- Added menus to toolbar items so the toolbar is useable in "Text Only" mode.
- Improvements to image scaling quality. We now use the Epeg thumb-nailing library (introduced in 1.0.2 for speed improvements) for thumbnails only, not scaling of full-size images.
- The Web View now loads images in the background, making the program more responsive.
- Major improvements to marking pages that need to be uploaded for incremental publishing.
- Photo pages now display a mini-thumbnail in the site outline.
- iMedia browser: "Music" folder now appears in list.
- Improvements to SFTP connections that improve public key validation and prevent crashing in edge cases.
- We now restrict names of files and folders in a URL to be ASCII characters (Roman alphabet without diacritical marks) only since many ISPs forbid use of other characters.
- Fixes and updates to many designs. You may want to publish your entire site to make sure these fixes appear on your website.
- Several errors and crashers fixed.

CurbsideColumnNot 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

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?
