USING DREAMWEAVER
What’s New
Last updated 3/28/2012
Simplified site setup
The newly redesigned Site Definition dialog box (now the Site Setup dialog box) makes it easier to set up a local
Dreamweaver site so that you can start building web pages right away. The remote server category lets you specify your
remote and testing servers in one view. See
“Set up a local version of your site” on page 35 and “Connect to a remote
server” on page 36.
Site-specific code hints
The Site-specific code hints feature lets you customize your coding environment when working with third-party PHP
libraries and CMS frameworks such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, or other frameworks. Theme files for blogs and
other custom PHP files and directories can be included or excluded as sources for code-hints. See
“Site-specific code
hints” on page 289.
Subversion support enhancements
Dreamweaver CS5 expands its support for Subversion, allowing you to move, copy, and delete files locally, and then
synchronize changes with your remote SVN repository. The new Revert command allows you to quickly correct tree
conflicts or rollback to a previous version of a file. Additionally, a new extension allows you to specify which version
of Subversion you would like to work with on a given project. See
“Use Subversion (SVN) to get and check in files” on
page 85.
