Hello Everyone,



Just wanted to add a note on Beta testing.

We will be rolling out a Pre-release for 2017 Release of FrameMaker in early October.



In this release we have done numerous fixes to the interface and the problem with HD displays will also be resolved.

We are finishing things at our end and I'll be reaching out with more details in due course.



Regards,
Abhishek Jain

Dear all,

Reading in the conference programme I see this:

Tuesday, November 11: Adobe Systems GmbH:

Sneak Preview of the next FrameMaker Generation Stephan Gentz / Vivek Kumar



Has anybody heard whether beta-testing has already started? On the website www.adobeprerelease.com<http://www.adobeprerelease.com> there is no notion of FrameMaker.



I'm eager to know whether at least some of the issues from my long list (presented during beta FM-13) have been addressed, for example:

- Will the UI cope with high density monitors?

- Awful dialogue for sorting in table revised?

- German quotation marks no more a "punctuation error"?

- ...

You may look at the full list at

http://www.daube.ch/zz_tests/FM-future-requirements.pdf



While new fancy features are certainly welcome by many of the (younger) users, many old problems are overdue to be solved. And generally: a fault such the awful dialogue mentioned should not happen at all ...

While running my English FM with fmres.dll for the German interface (to check my Enhanced Tool bars ETB-FM13-de) I noticed that many fields - even constant text - are to short for the German text. Is this a false observation? Unfortunately the new dialogues in owlres.dll can not be checked without a complete FM-installation.
