This time I've made a Cargo Van with interior for my Animation Short Film! 😊
Everything 2D (Textures everywhere and of course the Onscreen Titles) happily done in Affinity Designer again! Love vectors.
((logo-)Design, 3D Modeling, surfacing/texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, VFX, camera in Blender. And Sound Design/Foley. Also made the music for the sliding door demo video).
 
   
 

 
And for who's interested in the 3d side of things: A closer look at the sliding door mechanism rig:
 

Nope. Not that I'm aware of.

Symbols give you a possible work around…
 
1. Create your shape, and give it a fill but no stroke.
2. Create a Symbol from this shape.
3. Make a new instance of the Symbol, turn off Sync, and give it a Stroke but no Fill.
4. Add layer fx such as inner glow to the filled version (ensuring that Sync is off).
5. If you need to edit the shape, turn Sync on and both copies will be modified.
 

You say this as if it is a bad or complicated thing? 
Perhaps I am not fully understanding what you want to create, or how you intend to use it. But if all you need is a grid of squares, each of which has a different colour, then you can use the Quick Grid feature to make your array of squares in a couple of seconds. 
 
 

Tangents have been discussed a few times over the years - I can't remember whether there was any suggestion that they would be added or not, but a quick forum search might be informative.
I do recall this post, which shows how to construct tangents by hand…
Of course not as convenient as snapping, but will get the job done for simple cases at least.

Welcome to the forum!
Yes...
You can use the Conical fill.
2 points define the light blue outside edges, and a further 2 will help the pink fan out.
You can even add a further 2 to add an off white core.

This strikes me as an odd design choice... if it only sticks for a single operation then there is no real saving (in terms of time, number of operations, clicks etc) over pasting any-old-where and moving the object to the desired location.

You can already create a slice from any object (including Artboards).
 
 

 
In Export Persona, make sure you can see the Layers Panel. Click to select all the objects (Artboards) that you want as Slices. Click Create Slice. Affinity makes a Slice for each object, inheriting the name from the source.  
And these slices already resize and move with the respective Artboards!

I was doing some work before moving to the V2 version, I always felt more comfortable using designer to make drawings so I made a thumbnail based on vectors and went on to make a mask of each area and render from there with different airbrush brushes that gave me the appearance of grain. To finish I used several layers of adjustment and went through photo to play a little with the result. My purpose was to look for a retro poster but I had no idea how to do it with photo at that time. Any feedback is appreciated My instagram

Nope.
Bug is logged as afd-3342, though this particular thread isn't tagged with that identifier.
 
@Sean P Could you bump this with the team again please? It continues to be a disappointment that we can't have multiple strokes or fills on Text, 4 years after I pointed out the shortcoming.

A user shouldn't HAVE TO DO THIS LONG PROCESS instead of simply selecting a percentage option in the grid! It's absurd when it's SO simple to do in Photoshop

Hello,

My name's Yuriy, I'm one of the developers at FontBase. Recently joined for several reasons: curiousity, hope of finding a way to make FontBase's font auto-activation features work with Affinity products, and general desire to help, especially those who use Affinity products in conjunction with FontBase:)

You have a great community here🙏
Hope to be of help,
Yuriy

Pencil Tool improvements
Affinity Designer’s Pencil Tool now includes several new options on its context toolbar.

 Auto Close
Up to 2.6, we’ve only offered a proximity-based auto-closing option when making a closed shape from a pencil curve. As a reminder, a red ‘dog bone’ indicator popped up when the active end of a pencil curve approached the stroke’s starting point. This design aid suggested that the curve could be closed by clicking.  
In 2.6, we’ve now introduced an Auto Close pop-up menu that offer a choice of options:

Off - the curve is never closed. Near - the curve is closed when end points approach each other (this is as per the [2.6 release; the ‘dog bone’ indicator still shows). Far - similar to Near but the distance between end points is greater. Always - the curve is always closed irrespective of distance between end points. 
Auto close behaviours when using the Pencil Tool: Off (A), Near (B), Far (C) and Always (D).
Smoothness
Smoothness can be applied in advance of pencil drawing or to pencil curves you’ve just drawn. By design, further smoothing is no longer possible once the curve is deselected.

The feature works by repositioning, adding or removing nodes on the curve to affect the smoothing results. You can decrease or increase smoothing by dragging the slider left or right from the default value (50%), respectively; nodes are removed or added as a result.
Note that this is not to be confused with the smoothing you’ll see when using the Stabiliser option on the context toolbar. It would be beneficial to switch this off while testing Smoothness.
Use line style
Prior to 2.6, the Pencil Tool presented the Use fill option as a check box on its context toolbar. This is now presented as an icon, and is accompanied by a new Use line style option, also an icon. This lets you adopt the currently set stroke properties (width, dot/dash, pressure) you have currently set up on the Stroke panel for new pencil strokes.

Applying Use line style as you draw a pencil stroke.
Pen Tool improvements
The Pen Tool also benefits from the new Use line style option described above.
Node Tool improvements
Converting nodes from Sharp to Smooth requires a visit to the Node Tool context toolbar or right-click menu. In 2.6, Affinity now lets you double-click (or alt-click) a node to cycle between these node types, keeping you more focused on the curve. 
As another addition, either control handle on a Bézier curve’s node can be removed by double-clicking on its handle; the associated node becomes a sharp (cusp) corner

Auto Apply (Colour Panel) Colour Picker to Selection
Previously when you used the Colour Picker available from the Colour or Stroke Panel it would first add the picked colour to the well next to the picker and then you would be required to apply the colour manually by clicking the well.
We are now changing this to automatically apply the picked colour to the selected object, so you’re no longer required to select the colour well.
If you would prefer not to apply the selected colour (i.e the previous behaviour) you can hold Alt down whilst picking the colour (note this Alt behaviour is currently only available on Windows).

You could make Assets for your suits, and just drag them from the Asset Panel onto the page... It's what I do.

I understand that a specific tool might offer convenience, but is there any reason you can't use the Polygon tool and set it to 6 sides? 
 
And for the other 2 suits, they are standard Unicode characters, so just pick a font you like.

You mean this,

or this?

In version 2: You can use a Symbol to keep your Composite Body and Composite Mask in Sync. Doesn't solve the banding on the gradient though.

Some of the reason for the pause in information is a change I made to the @Affinity Info Bot posts which used to tell users that a bug had been fixed and {is/would be} available in a beta available {already/very soon}. However I decided that going forward the bot would only post here once a beta build is actually available. So without starting a 2.6.0 beta, the regular nudge nudge of coming fixes has been silent. Sorry but I felt this change was necessary, as I knew that it would be a long time to tease users that their particular issue was theoretically fixed, but without a 2.6.0 beta to download that same fix was not available to try. I thought that would be incredibly frustrating and cause a lot of users to demand a 2.6 beta started before it was ready. Until now 2.6 has not been ready, and we're still a little way off.
So let me explain why there has been this extended period with no significant new beta..... We recognised that, by introducing multi-page spreads in 2.6 (so more than 2 pages per spread), we were making a significant change that would require a long internal testing period. The rearchitecture of spreads is nearly complete. As soon as we're ready with this and the other new features, we will announce the 2.6 beta in the beta forums and a flurry of over 200 bug fixes will be announced by the Affinity Info Bot.
The changes and improvements in 2.6 will, as Walt says, only be public once the beta starts. The multi-page change is unusual in that it has been discussed early.
 

Right click to set stroke colour has been suggested / requested several times before.
 
I whole heartedly support the feature, as it is what I was used to in Xara Designer, and find it so much quicker and simpler than the existing system, especially when this is an action that is carried out time and time again during standard usage.
 
I'm not aware that the developers have ever commented as to whether they like the idea... or if not, why not?
 

I know nothing about French Cuisine so I would have had to improvise.
