nezumi Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Before anything - I don't want to start any forum war, start any prolonged discussion about how software X or software Y is better then the other, I also don't want to accuse devs of not doing enough or anything negative... I also didn't wanted to hijack somebody's thread so I decided to make new topic. With that out of the way... It is a simple question - should we expect any NEW, major/minor features from 1.8.0 final or it meant to be mainly bugfix release? I am fine either way, I know sometimes it is necessary for better future development. Just wondering. I dont want to know what features either - unless you want to tease me some .

Manofjesus Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 As for me, before implementing some extra super-duper features, devs are thinking to make stable all previous major things.

Manofjesus Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I am not stating in any form, that my post is direct answer to your question. I just share my thoughts as others. Developers always looking for balance between stability and adding new features. Also there can be different definitions about bugfix/feature - somebody call it bug, somebody - feature Also the team could change their previous decisions or statements, when facing new trouble while trying to implement new features. It can depend from software engine itself (it structure, hardware limit) or by other reasons that will be found in near future.

MattP post a message, that explain, i think, devs major slogan Quote We already have a full tracing engine that we used within the more recent drawPlus versions - it's actually pretty good, but there are a few flaws that actually add up to being enough of a problem that we were unhappy to include it at present. We'd rather include no tracing functionality at all until we have something we can be proud of - it's just the way that we like to work If we weren't happy, then within a few hours you'd see why and then you'd be unhappy too - and that's not what anybody wants... nezumi 1 Win10 x64 1907, 16G RAM, Core i7 + Wacom Cintiq 12WX Interactive Pen Display - Affinity Photo 1.7.3.481 + Beta 1.8.0.526, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Corel Draw X7, ArtCAM 2015 R2 iOS 13.1.0, iPad Pro 10.5, 64GB + Apple Pencil - Procreate 5.0.2, Affinity Photo 1.7.3, Affinity Designer 1.7.3
