In FrameMaker, there's now a navigation view that will make working with long documents much easier, as well as the ability to split long documents into individual files. The structured mode has an enhanced WSIWYG mode for working in DITA files and a new structure view. The HTML engine has been rewritten to take advantage of CSS3 and responsive HTML.
For a complete list of new and enhanced features, see the FrameMaker Buying Guide page. The Productopedia blog post is a convenient link page to all of the products.
The biggest news may be from their Technical Communication blog:
We did a fundamental shift towards a subscription-based, continuous delivery model of updates and new releases. What does that mean for you? From now on, you do not have to wait for new major releases for 12, 18, or even 24 months. And you will never have to pay for an upgrade again. As long as you have subscribed to FrameMaker, we will continuously deliver bug fixes, improvements and enhancements, and completely new features regularly.
I see nothing on their website about being able to buy a perpetual license, so I wonder if they have moved to a subscription-only model. It wouldn't surprise me.
