Known issues

Please refer toAdobe Supportfor late-breaking information and known issues for all Creative

Suite 5.5 applications.

GB18030 support for Windows XP

In order to support the display of all characters of the Chinese standard GB18030 on Windows

XP systems, Adobe recommends the installation of the Microsoft GB18030 Support Package.This support package will update an XP system with, among other things, fonts and input-

method-editors (IMEs) to correctly support GB18030. The support package is available as a

download from the Microsoft website. (#BG061690)

Subversion Compatibility

Dreamweaver CS 5.5 uses the Subversion 1.6.6 client library. Later major versions (e.g. 1.7.x) of

the Subversion client library are not backward-compatible after a working copy upgrade. Beaware, if you update a third-party client application (for example, TortoiseSVN) to work with a

later version of Subversion, and you upgrade the working copy or try to use a Dreamweaver site

with a working copy created by this third-party client, Dreamweaver will no longer be able tocommunicate with Subversion. This issue is not affected by updates to the Subversion server as

those updates are backward-compatible.

If you do upgrade to a third-party client application that is using a Subversion 1.7 working copy

or later, youll need to check with Adobe for updates before you can use Subversion with

Dreamweaver again. For more information on this issue, seehttp://www.adobe.com/go/dw_svn_en
