Apple Releases iWork 9.0.5 With iWork.com Improvements


Apple today released iWork 9.0.5, a maintenance update for the current edition of the company's productivity suite. In particular, the update expands support for iWork.com, which has remained in public beta for nearly two years now.

This update contains bug fixes and improvements, including the following:

- Adds support for playback of Keynote presentations on iWork.com public beta, with over 15 animations and effects, when using the latest version of Safari.
- Adds support for Keynote Remote 1.2, including high-resolution slides for the Retina display.
- Addresses an issue in Keynote with ruler numbers when moving or resizing a shape or scrolling.
- Addresses an issue when exporting a Keynote presentation to iTunes/iPod when iTunes 10 is installed.
- Improves the readability of ePub documents exported from Pages.
- Includes public sharing and private upload document sharing options for iWork.com to Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

Full details on the update, which weighs in at 67.06 MB, are available in a support document associated with the release.

As suggested in the update description, Apple has also updated its Keynote Remote iOS application [App Store], bringing a number of fixes and improvements to the application for controlling Keynote presentations.

What's New in Version 1.2

- Optimized for the Retina display, including support for high-resolution slides.
- Support for iOS 4 multitasking.
- Improved handling of alerts (such as push notifications, text messages) received while controlling a presentation.
- Improved handling of loss of connection with Keynote '09
- Fixed networking issues, including recognizing a new Wi-Fi network if it was connected after launching Keynote Remote

There have been hints that Apple may launch a new iWork '11 alongside the Mac App Store tomorrow, and we have heard from several sources that the release may only be available through the Mac App Store and not on physical media, although we have been unable to confirm those reports.

So I go to upload a Keynote presentation to check out the new features, and I get an error saying prerelease software is not compatible with iwork.com. Never had any problems w iwork.com before. Anyone else finding this? Curious what could be causing it.


Edit: Nevermind. Redownloaded from Apple Support Page, working fine now. Well, fine is a relative term. Turned a 24MB Keynote into a 66MB Keynote before uploaing (which took a good 10 mins). But it's a neat feature nonetheless. Hopefully the Keynote Remote update will actually work.

It's the last update they'll make for iWork '09 before moving toward iWork '11. IIRC, they do this to many of their applications. They'll release an update before the formal release of new major versions.

Yeah, this is actually a good clue that iWork 11 may come out in the Mac App Store tomorrow.

"Here's your last update for those of you too cheap to upgrade tomorrow. Enjoy it, you good-for-nothing cheapskates!"

Or something like that.

That'll be Apple patching up the final bugs in '09 before '11 gets (probably) released tomorrow.
