Last week while checking operating system compatibility of Connected Components Workbench (CCW) Version 7, I noticed Version 8 was also listed. Curios to know if this was an indicator of it's release, I headed over to product downloads section of Rockwell's website and found that CCW version 8 was indeed available to download.
