Softpress release Freeway 5.1 support for SVG and an RSS Feed builder

Oxford, UK

Softpress Systems today released Freeway 5.1, an update to its award-winning web design software. With a traditional page layout approach, Freeway makes it easy to create dynamic websites without the need to write code. This release, available as a free update to all registered owners of Freeway 5, is available from http://www.softpress.com/updates

Additionally, free 30-day trials of Freeway Express and Freeway Pro are available from http://www.softpress.com

"The release of this version sets Freeway even further ahead of the field of WYSIWYG web creation tools," Softpress Managing Director Richard Logan said. "Freeway 5 is already the tool of choice for many visual designers who love the feel of a traditional layout application - easy to use, feature-rich with standards compliant output."

New Features in Freeway 5.1

• Support for publishing a feed from a page with the RSS Feed Action.
• Support for SVG as a graphic import format, either for conversion to JPEG, GIF or PNG or as a pass-through to the finished page.
• In-flow block items can now be either CSS or table based items.
