As new user to this "flagship" of web-editors I have a few questinons:

1. When will DW update the built in bootstrap version to latest stabel version

2. Alot of included templates seems awful old..Do I miss something to update or is it the policy at DW to not update to often?

    Don't wait for code editor updates.  You have online access to latest jQuery and Bootstrap anytime you want them. The scripts are hosted on Stackpath and jQuery CDNs.

     

    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Latest Bootstrap 4.5.0</title>
    
    <!--Bootstrap 4.5 on CDN-->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="
    https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    
    </head>
    <body>
    <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
    <div class="col">
    CONTENT GOES HERE...
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    
    <!--Supporting scripts: first jQuery, then popper, then Bootstrap JS--> 
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-9/aliU8dGd2tb6OSsuzixeV4y/faTqgFtohetphbbj0=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js"></script> 
    
    <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Thanks for all advices..

    I know how to use CDN and I do include boostrap 4.5 in my site...

    My questions was about the built-in stuff..and Dreamweavers policy of following updates..!! 

    If you ask me, there is not much idea to even include old versions in the software.

    But Thanks once again, its nice to see that cominity lives.!!

    Have you updated to ver 20.2?

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    I know there is other ways to go with boostrap.4.5 but I was  curious about the built-in versions

    The issue these days is web-development moves at a far faster pace that what it did in the past and DW doesn't keep up at the same pace. DW is usually updated every 18 months but that is not acceptable these days IF you want to use up-to-date frameworks, unless you hook them up manually.
