Axure Rp.v8.0.0.3303 Team Edition
Axure RP Pro is a dedicated tool for prototyping web sites and web applications. It is based on concepts known from Visio and web design tools, and elegantly combines the best of the two worlds. Interaction designers have suffered from the fact that there have been no decent software tools on the market dedicated to prototyping. Those of us who did not stick with the pen, paper, scissor and glue stick method of paper prototyping, have had no other option but to use and adapt tools designed for other purposes, such as Visio, Dreamweaver, PowerPoint, and Photoshop. Axure have set out to change this. Their Axure RP Pro is a dedicated web prototyping tool. All it does is prototyping, and it does it quite well.

Environment
Pages in the sitemap and widgets in custom widget libraries can be organized into folders.
Sitemap shortcuts for adding pages (ctrl+enter), moving pages (ctrl+arrow / tab / shift+tab), and searching (start typing).
Widget Properties and Style pane displays widget properties which previously only existed in the context menu.
Widget Manager (replaces the dynamic panel manager) and lists all of the widgets on the page.
The main menu and context menus have been reorganized.
Double-click resize handles on shapes and panels to fit to the text height / width or content respectively.
Reorganized case editor actions
Ability to duplicate Dynamic Panel states
Undo works after switching away and back to a page
Ctrl+tab & ctrl+shift+tab move forward / back in screen history
Repeater Widget
Create a dataset and a diagram that repeats based on the dataset.
Use interactions to add, update, and delete items in the dataset.
Use interactions to filter, sort, and paginate the Repeater.
Adaptive Views
Define adaptive views based on browser width and/or height.
Adaptive views inherit from one another so a change to the location, size, or style of a widget in the parent view affects its children, but a change in the child view does not affect the parent.
Editing a widget's text, interactions, and other widget properties affects the widget in all views. The widget is the same widget across views (not a copy) so you only have to update the property once.
The prototype switches views based on the browser size.
