Today we are releasing WeBuilder, Rapid PHP, HTMLPad and Rapid CSS 2022. We will continue work on updating 2022 and fixing any issues for the year(s) to come.
More announcements, updates and notifications will come in the next few weeks. We want the initial release be silent in order to spread the traffic evenly. This is why version checking will not reveal that there is a new version yet.

Buying and Upgrading
According to our upgrade policy, customers who bought the old version 6 months prior this release today are eligible for a free upgrade. Also everybody with a valid 3-year subscription is eligible for a free upgrade. For more info, click here.
Other existing customers may upgrade for a special price (and the first 300 customers to use coupon code BEFIRST will get a 10% discount on top of the upgrade price).
This is also good time to cross-upgrade between editions e.g. HTMLPad 2020 -> WeBuilder 2022 and between licenses e.g. Personal -> Commercial.
We have kept our licensing based on one-time fees for perpetual, non-expiring license. We are one of the last companies to offer this as almost everybody else is offering only subscription-based licenses. That is why we do appreciate your each and every one purchase and upgrade very much as the financial results greatly determine the future of the product. So thank you very very much for being our customers. You are the best!
Moving from old versions to 2022
All of the settings from 2020 should be ported automatically, including interface layouts. When you uninstall your old version, make sure you choose to keep your settings during uninstall. One thing to note is that settings will not transfer from portable to normal and from normal to portable version.
To transfer settings between two portable / USB installs, please copy the settings folder from the old version over the settings folder of the new version. This is not well-tested method but generally should work.
