Status: Public Beta Purpose: Stability Requirements: None Download: 1.5.0.12 Beta Here As this is a beta release, it is 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 worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.5 cannot be opened in 1.4, which means files created with the Windows beta cannot be opened in the Mac AppStore version of Designer, instead you will need the latest macOS beta. We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks once again for your continued feedback. If you have a general question about the software, please head over to the Questions Forum, or if you have any suggestions, please head over to the Feature Requests forum.

Open the Character panel and choose 'Web' from the category dropdown list. Observed: The dropdown list on the right includes Comic Sans MS. Expected: The dropdown list on the right does not include Comic Sans MS, since it is not present by default on iOS devices and it can therefore no longer be regarded as a 'websafe' font.

According to this thread, holding down the Shift key while dragging on any of the colour slider controls should make the other controls move in step with it, but there is no obvious difference between dragging without a modifier key and dragging with Shift (or any other modifier key) held down.

Hey Serif, I just updated my Affinity Designer to 1.5.0.12 from the previous version and now my scroll wheel doesn't do anything in the program anymore, can't zoom or scroll up and down and to the sides using the mouse. Funny enough this works on my stationary PC But the issue is on my laptop. I didn't touch any settings and even after a restart still nothing. Disabling touch pad didn't fix it either.. Anyone knows what the issue is?

Just a small glitch, but on my system the text on the splash screen is getting resized while loading.
