For the past 14 years, Software Development Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards have been presented annually to products that have "jolted" the industry with their significance and made the task of creating software faster, easier, and more efficient. Macromedia Dreamweaver was inducted into the Jolt Product Hall of Fame because of its continuing role as the leading visual web development tool.
"We felt it was high time, in this post-boom landscape, to honor a tool that's become the standard for front-end web design -- and that's paved the way, indeed, for an entire suite of popular tools that have codified the more esoteric tasks of web development," said Alexandra Weber Morales, editor in chief, Software Development magazine.

Existing users can update their application to improve its performance. The updater is available for no charge at www.macromedia.com/go/updates.
