Adobe today announced Creative Suite 5.5 with an availability date of mid May.
I can only comment with any great depth on Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Catalyst 5.5 as I have the privilege of being a member of the pre-release program, I continue to be impressed with the applications and development teams, the features and attention to detail in these releases is amazing. To give you a taste here is a list of some of the major new features in the suite, I recommend you also visit the Adobe site and get an in depth deep dive into the new versions.
