I currently have Adobe CS6. Has this been superseded and, if so, what is the latest version?

If you wish Bootstrap in CS6 then try the dmxzone extension -

A much better solution with a much smaller file size then you could write your own layouts using flexbox, or use the PVII extension, (which also uses flexbox) -

It all depends on what you need DW for. You can keep using CS6 for as long as your operating system supports it. But it is not receiving updates nor does it help you with modern code hints i& auto completion in HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, PHP, SVG, XML, Bootstrap or responsive web design workflows.

CS6 does support 95% of html5, and about 80% of css(3), all of svg 1.1 and I would argue has better support for xml.

As for responsive design, CS6's media-query support is good enough for 99% of cases, (as much as bootstrap version 4 anyway).

Edit - Just thought I would add that the % values are when compared to all CC versions, for which the latest, (2018) only supports a fraction of html5 and about 80% of css.

Some would say yes and others would say no.

The latest version is CC2018, youre some versions behind........its a lot different from CS6.

Yes, several times over.

CS6 was the final Disk/Perpetual License version of the program, released in 2012.

Over the years since CS6, Adobe has released the Creative Cloud subscription service with CS6 Cloud, CC, CC2014, CC2015, CC2017 and the latest CC2018.

There's no way to get "update" pricing to move from your version, you would just purchase a subscription from Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

Many thanks for your helpful reply. Gosh, I am behind. I had suspected that the “new” version is subscription only, which is a shame.

My main reason for wondering about an upgrade is that I would like to use Bootstrap to do mobile friendly websites. Are there any plug-ins available for CS6 and, if so, at what cost?

You don't need the latest version of DW to use Bootstrap, thats if you must use a piece of bloated crap, you can use any old editor to deploy a Bootstrap website, so CS6 is MORE than adequate to start using Bootstrap. Just go to their website, link up the default css and js files and youre done.

The lastest version of DW has a few Bootstrap snippets which you can make yourself....CS6 and most other editors have a snippets panel. Adobe are charging a premium for making a few 3rd party snippets for you.
