   Mellel 3.5

   Josh Centers

   RedleX has released [1]Mellel 3.5, a notable update that improves the
   word processor's layout capabilities through the addition of
   independent text boxes. You can customize these text boxes via a
   popover that lets you set width, height, padding, fill color and
   transparency, frame type and color, and corner radius. You can also
   style the text inside text boxes, and set text boxes to float or anchor
   to a position. A Smart Snap feature lets you align both text boxes and
   images to the edges and center of the page or to each other. Mellel 3.5
   also enables you to round the corners of images, set dashed or dotted
   frame types, and edit the weight of lines. RedleX also promises that
   'many, many bugs were securely removed from Mellel.' ($39 new from
   RedleX and the [2]Mac App Store, free update, 105.2 MB, [3]release
   notes, 10.6+)
