[Hopperxx] Director 12 ships

[Thomas Westin]

I agree; and after four years in the making since Dir 11, you would imagine some prime marketing on Adobe front page but alas, no. And gaming.adobe.com is still all Flash (and some CS-tools). Adobe, D12 has some really nice new features but why don't make it show?

Best regards,
Thomas
