The beta has [almost] all of the features from Axure RP 5.6 for Windows including shared projects. It also has a number of UI enhancements like a new properties pane and redesigned interactions dialog.
Known Issues:
- Safari compatibility has not been fully tested. If you notice anything in prototypes that do not work in Safari, please let us know.
- iWork Pages crashes when opening the generated specification. Word is required to open the specification. But once saved in Word, they do open in Pages.
- Shared projects can be stored on a Windows (SMB) network drive or SVN server, but not a Mac share or through https.
Performance tuning is in progress.
The beta expires April 15, 2010. A valid beta will be available until the final release of 5.6 for Mac so your work will not be interrupted.

Axure-Gesprächsrunde am 06.03
Am 06.03. lädt Ezra Schwartz zu einer Diskussionsrunde zum Thema: Managing Change with Axure: Keeping Your Prototype, Design Patterns and Specifications In Sync. ein.
The concept of the AxureWorld RoundTables is to provide UX practitioners from all over the world with an opportunity to discuss a specific topic – NOT on a discussion board, email or chat but rather – by talking and listening, in real-time, to each other. Participants logging to the RoundTable web event are encouraged to have a microphone, and use it!
…und ihr seid herzlich eingeladen Eure Axure-Erfahrungen mit Anderen zu teilen:
The event will be composed of several short presentations of up to 15 minutes from people who want to share with the forum their experiences, answer questions and exchange of ideas, questions and best practices.
Sobald man sich registrieren kann, gebe ich Euch Bescheid.
Axure für den Mac als Alpha Version verfügbar
Passend zu den Feiertagen hat Axure die erste (Alpha) Mac Version veröffentlicht:
Most of the Axure RP 5.6 features are available along with some UI enhancements including a new properties pane and redesigned interactions dialog. There are still some features missing including shared projects, CSV generation, search & replace, print, spell check, and zoom. [...]
This alpha version expires February 28, 2010. A valid alpha/beta will be available until the final release of 5.6 for Mac, so your work will not be interrupted.
Die Version sei übrigens noch nicht ganz stabil – aber für einen ersten Eindruck und für Vorfreude sollte das ja genügen…

Update: Es gibt bereits eine erste Liste mit Bugs.
Update:
That last build (5.6.0.2544) had a pretty big issue initializing the Wireframe and Objects menu. We fixed that in this build.
Sketchy, eine neue Axure Widget Library
Der Kollege Kevin Wick hat eine neue Axure Widget Library gebastelt und ins Netz gestellt. Hier ein Überblick über deren Elemente:
Erstes Material der Axure World 2009
Hier seht ihr die Präsentation, die auf der Axure World 2009 gehalten wurden, liebe Zielgruppe.
Falls ihr nicht dabei sein konntet – keine Sorge. Die Vorträge wurden aufgenommen und werden noch ins Netz gestellt.
Hier aber schon mal eine Liste von Ressourcen, die in den Vorträgen erwähnt wurden:
Axure mit Post-its pimpen
Axure ist als Wireframing Tool schon ganz nett, liebe Zielgruppe.
Auf Knopfdruck macht es aus Wireframes brav einen klickbaren HTML Prototypen, oder eine Spezifikation – ganz wie man mag. Will man aber den frisch erzeugten Prototypen kommentieren, musste bisher immer Papier herhalten.
Diesem Problem hat sich Josh Morse angenommen und ein Tool geschrieben, mit dem man gelbe Klebezettel auf seine Axure Prototypen kleben kann.
Da diese Zettel im Internet “leben” kann jeder, der Zugriff auf den Prototypen hat, seine Anmerkungen online machen. Sehr großartig.
Hier also das Kochrezept:

"The sketchboard is a low-fi technique that makes it possible for designers to explore and evaluate a range of interaction concepts while involving both business and technology partners. Unlike the process that results from wireframe-based design, the sketchboard quickly performs iterations on many possible solutions and then singles out the best user experience to document and build upon.
