Status: Beta Release
Purpose: New features, fixes
Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer
Mac App Store: Not Submitted
Download: 1.5 Beta 14 Here
 
 
EDITED TO ADD: I have just (at 4pm BST) uploaded a new version of Beta 14 that will continue to run if you upgrade to Affinity 1.4.3 which is due to be released on 20th September in order to provide better compatibility with macOS Sierra. It is identical to the earlier download in all other respects. If you are not receiving a warning that there is a newer version then you already have this most recent version.
 
 
This is a beta of a substantial change to our codebase and as much as we have tried to ensure the quality of the code, it should be considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is definitely worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.5 cannot be opened in 1.4 so always make a copy of your important documents before opening them in 1.5 to ensure you do not accidentally overwrite them and are unable to open them in your 1.4 version.
 
To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it.
 
Fixes/Improvements:
New Welcome Screen - currently not displaying content but it should start working properly early next week New samples Improvements to 32bit documents and unbounded colours (and colour picker) Taking a line down to zero width, then growing it again now keeps the original line colour Fix for Colour Picker Tool in macOS Sierra Fix for double-clicking the selected row in the Layers Panel causing the incorrect behaviour PDF export fixes (transparency usage and clipping issues) - hopefully also made CorelDraw-compatible PDFs SVG export fix for exporting transformed images Miscellaneous other small fixes
