iWork 9.0.5 Update adds ability to share presentations on iWork.com

I've been waiting for the ability to share a Keynote presentation as an actual presentation on iWork.com, and it's finally here.

In another update (yesterday brought iLife updates for iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband) squeaking in before the Mac App Store launch, Apple has released an update for iWork 9.0 and later as both a download and a software update.

The release notes mention the usual miscellaneous bug fixes as well as some improvements:
  • Adds support for playback of Keynote presentations on iWork.com public beta, with over 15 animations and effects, when using the latest version of Safari.
  • Adds support for Keynote Remote 1.2, including high-resolution slides for the Retina display.
  • Addresses an issue in Keynote with ruler numbers when moving or resizing a shape or scrolling.
  • Addresses an issue when exporting a Keynote presentation to iTunes/iPod when iTunes 10 is installed.
  • Improves the readability of ePub documents exported from Pages.
  • Includes public sharing and private upload document sharing options for iWork.com to Keynote, Pages and Numbers.
Apple is recommending this update for users of iWork 9.0 and later, and those of you using the iWork.com beta are invited to test the sharing options and provide feedback.

For more detailed information about this update and individual application changes, see Apple's iWork Update 5 knowledge base article.

I was really really really hoping that they would add AirPlay support for Keynote in either the Mac or iPad edition.

Limiting some animations only to Safari Browser? Right out of the old Microsoft playbook. Fail.

I had to DL it manually, wasn't coming up in Software Update. So, when I tried to update iWork, a popup says, "An eligible Keynote application was not found in the location /Applications/iWork '09." What the hell does that mean???

I've had the iWork.com feature for at least a year now.

i thought it was standard?

Iwork.com has been available for over a year. The update adds Keynote functionality to the iwork online beta.

So is iWork '11 gonna make an appearance at tomorrow's Mac App Store launch? This update seems fishy.

Just installed this update. Now when I click the 'share' button on a pages doc, I get an error saying that 'pre release versions of the software cannot upload to iWork'.

Could this mean that iWork.com will come out of beta tomorrow, and that it's the other end, that is, the cloud side that is the issue, not the download? Tomorrow will tell.

In the meantime, I have to confirm the same issue with sharing on iWork.com

Publishing a document failed the first time, but tried immediately after and it worked.
