Purpose: Features / Improvements / Fixes Status: Beta Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer Mac App Store: Not Submitted Download: Here 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. Please Note: This beta includes many changes which have never been beta-tested before. Being realistic, it is quite likely that you may encounter an occasional bug. We will do our utmost to fix anything that emerges as quickly as possible, but we just wanted you to understand that for production work we would recommend using the Mac App Store version until this beta has been validated for a few weeks. There are no translations included with this beta version, sorry - they will return next time... There are far too many under-the-hood changes this time to list them all, but the highlights for this beta are: - User-definable keyboard shortcuts (first phase - more to come...) - New PDF export engine with ability to output PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 and PDF/X-4 - Added Character and Paragraph panels - rather than these options being stuck in large modeless dialogs - Boolean geometry operations fixed - Many import and export improvements to PSD, PDF, EPS, SVG, etc. - Attempt to import .AI legacy files - New, searchable preferences panel with support for user-definable nudge distances ...and of course, the two changes I'm sure everyone will be most happy of all with: The beta now has its own icon and also has a sensible numbering scheme! :)
