We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.10.0.1115 is now available as a download from the link above.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
Due to current and anticipated changes to help with performance issues this version is now 1.10.0 and replaces the previous 1.9.4 beta. All previous changes from 1.9.4 have been rolled into this beta.
As such, we strongly recommend that you do not use this beta for real work as data could be lost and the files you save are not guaranteed to open in previous / future versions of Affinity Designer.

Prevented unnecessary duplication of placed documents on IDML import Fixed issues with documents that have large numbers of embedded documents failing to load (The maximum number of allowed open file handles was being exceeded leading to erroneous 'Future Version Error') Improved OpenAsset support Localisation updates Help updates Previous Release Notes

We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.2.1009 is now available as a download from the link above.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
This beta is an incremental update from the 1.9.1 version recently released to all customers (although it still installs parallel to the released version, as described above). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

More fixes for Replace Image transform issues Fixed Stock Panel retrieval for Unsplash ---
