Adobe is seeking participants for a beta program for its Abode Fireworks 9 Web graphics and site layout design tool.
The next release of Fireworks will leverage the current rich hybrid vector-bitmap tool while expanding capabilities for rapid prototyping of Web sites and applications. Features for version 9 include native Photoshop and Illustrator file import, hierarchical Web and layer organization, page-based layout, intelligent scaling and "click-thru" HTML mockup support, Adobe said.
Persons interested in participating in the program can submit a request here. General release of Fireworks 9 is anticipated by the end of the year.
Editor's note: After this entry was first published, Adobe reported back that the public beta will be out by the end of the year, not the general release.
