Last night, Adobe released the “6.01” updater for InCopy and InDesign CS4, which were officially at version 6.0.
You can download and install the updaters by starting up any CS4 program and choosing Help > Updates. That forces the Adobe Updater utility to start up and retrieve a list of updates to your CS4 program, among which you’ll find InDesign CS4 6.01 (and InCopy CS4 6.01, if you have it installed). You can have it install all the CS4 updates it finds automatically, or open a detailed view of what it found and click the checkboxes next to the ones you want installed.
I just ran the Adobe updater, and didn’t see any updates for Photoshop or Illustrator CS4, but there were minor ones for Flash, Camera Raw, Bridge, and Reader 9 in addition to the ID and IC 6.01 updates. And hallelujah, it didn’t make me quit my browser to install 6.01 updates! (Note: If you run the Reader or Flash updates, you’ll get the prompt to close out of your browsers, otherwise they can’t be installed. It’s probably a good idea to just close out of all CS apps and any open web browsers before installing Adobe updates.)
Normally, you can also download InDesign updates from Adobe’s downloads section, but I just checked and they’re not available yet. Nor are the 6.01 release notes, which should appear on the Release Notes page. I’m sure these pages will be updated shortly.
In the meantime, according to Adobe CS evangelist Rufus Deuchler, a few of the 6.0 issues that 6.01 fixes include:
- Master Page Items from a placed InDesign document are dropped when previewed in High Quality Display or when exporting to PDF.
- InDesign CS3 documents converted to InDesign CS4 reflow unexpectedly due to hyphenation limits.
- When exporting a document to .SWF, ?mailto:? hyperlinks have ?https://? appended to them, making them inoperable.
