See for details. InFlow CS3 is coming next (very quickly, we hope), and then InData and InCatalog as soon as we can. (Note that we're now officially dropping support for InDesign CS, though those plugins will still work.) Sorry for any duplicate announcements, if you're on both of our announce lists, but this is important enough for both.

For example, the second "red" in the tag sequence "blackred<&it"""redblack""">black" now appears as red text. Before, &it was always starting with default styling such that the second "red" would display as black text. * Fixed a problem where the styling of text inserted via &it was being lost in some situations. * Generating separate tags now produces instead of * Increased robustness and accuracy for table imports. * Added format(number, pattern) number formatting function. (Documented in the release notes.) This latter feature is a long-awaited addition that will greatly simplify prototypes when a given input field needs reformatting from the raw value. (E.g., it might be zero-padded on input, or need thousands separators added on output, etc.) Thanks for any testing you can do!
