iWork for iOS and Mac Updated With Password-Protected Sharing, New Features [Updated]

This IS the ground-up rewrite. That's why it's missing everything that '09 had. This is Apple porting the iOS version to Mac OS X and TRASHING the Mac OS X codebase for Pages (and the other apps).
----------
It WAS simple before, except it had useful features for people who need more than a simple text editor.
They, apparently, updated themselves on my Air, which they are not supposed to do, but the update dates are Nov 21, 2013. ???
A minute later...wait, now they are gone from the list and just Podcast and Penultimate are there for today (I updated them a couple hours ago).
It just gets worse and worse. Apple needs to have a talk with Intel and get into this tick-tock thing that they are using.

Surely this wasn't removed?
Bananas.
I've generally found it a pain in the neck. I can't quite sort out the right layout options to get my tables looking sensible. It will have the top half of the line one one page and then the bottom half on the page below. How is that helpful?
There are lists, yes. On the Apple forums is the best place to find the lists. They're extensive.
If they updated themselves then that's because you have auto updated on. I too have it on but the update never showed up or showed under the update history but mines date says today though
That's just it...I have ALL of that stuff turned off. But then a minute later they just disappeared from the list. Now I see the OSX versions are showing up with the Nov 21 date too. Wow.
Way to go, take a legitimate concern (the 'Open With' association, aka, opening via double-click, cannot differentiate between two different versions of Pages installed) and present it in a way that makes it sound as if one couldn't open a document in the old version at all when both versions are installed. Apple hurt you, now you want to hurt Apple back. And if you can hurt Apple more by insinuating non-existent Apple faults, so be it. The end justifies the means.
Dragging a file onto the Dock icon of the old Pages still works fine as, as does the Open dialogue box or the Open Recent. And if this bothered me enough because I would rarely use the new version, I would just zip the new version and only unzip it when needed.
It's probably just invalid caches or something like that. Pages/Numbers 6.1 were not yet, so it kept showing the older version.
Now if you check it, it should start showing 6.1 as it is for me.
A running commentary...
I rebooted (all the way off, all the way on) my Air and now the three progs show up as Available Updates, the dates are Nov 21, but the buttons only say Open, instead of Update.

This feature was never removed and with Pages 5.0.1, released in November, the toolbar items for it were re-added.

I was in the middle of downloading and installing the iWork updates from the Mac App Store when all of a sudden, all the iWork updates disappeared from the list of available updates as they were downloading or installing. I closed the MAS, went back in, and now it says no updates are available. Strange. . .
