A few of the major enhancements include:

• Dynamic Panel widget enabling prototyping of rich interfaces
• Interactions supporting click, mouseenter, and mouseout (replaces links)
• CSV reports generator to generate reports of annotations, interactions, and page notes
• Masters (replacing References and Templates) and the ability to order and organize them in folders

Files created in Axure RP 4 will not open in previous version of Axure RP, but Axure RP 4 will convert legacy files to the new format. Additional notes on conversion are available here.

For customers who purchased Axure RP after March 1, 2005, this is a free upgrade, and you only need to download and install this release to take advantage of the new features. If you purchased before that date, you can renew your license key for another 12 months of updates by purchasing a renewal key.

Axure RP Pro 4 installs side by side with previous versions of Axure RP and provides a new 30 day trial.

Used by professionals including business analysts, information architects, usability experts, product managers, and IT consultants around the world from Fortune 1000 companies to independent agencies, Axure RP has become an essential tool for successful application design.
