Staff AdamW Posted March 6, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 6, 2020 Status: Beta Purpose: Stability and General Testing Requirements: Purchased Affinity Publisher Windows Store: Not submitted Download: Download Auto-update: Not Available --- Hi, We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.8.2.603 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 to the 1.8.0 version recently released to all customers (though it installs parallel to the release). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below. --- StudioLink: We have updated StudioLink to ignore the 'patch' version when checking compatibility. StudioLink should be enabled if any corresponding version 1.8 product is available. --- General Fix for bleed not available in Photo Persona New document panel - terminology and UI tweaks New document panel - saves settings between uses. (Mac) Fixes for blurry icons on non-retina screens Document Management Stability and performance improvements adding and deleting pages Fixed issue with sections being incorrectly deleted when pages deleted (Win) Fix for inability to scroll through whole document in certain circumstances Geometry Stability and performance improvements for geometry operations Text Fixes for Catalan Hyphenation (Mac) Fixed crash typing into Font name selection UI Hyperlinks Fixed issue exporting caused by hyperlinks Import / Export XLSX - File import improvements (Win) PDF Export - PDF X4 convert image colour space was not available IDML Import - crash fixes for specific documents IDML - import of hyphenation --- To be notified about all future Windows beta updates, please follow this notification thread To be notified when this Publisher update comes out of beta and is fully released to all Publisher customers, please follow this thread Petar Petrenko, SrPx, StuartRc and 10 others 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neville Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 How come Designer and Photo are on version 1.8.1 Beta and Publisher is on version 1.8.2 Beta? Are the next releases not going to have synchronised version numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the next releases not going to have synchronised version numbers? That surprised me, too. The Mac versions had to release 1.8.1 quickly as a retail version to fix a problem with the 1.8.0 versions released to the Mac App Store. They then released 1.8.2 beta versions. So I was surprised when the Windows betas of Photo and Designer went to 1.8.1 rather than 1.8.2. I just figured that the retail versions would be out of sync (1.8.2 for Mac, and 1.8.1 for Windows) but now we have Publisher out of sync with Designer and Photo for Windows. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birgit Finland Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Thank you for fixing the problem. My files open again, even though had a section where I have to replace all the images. I am glad I had a PDF file saved. Would be good to get informed about a safe Version. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 12, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 12, 2020 @Birgit Finland Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums Thanks for confirming the fix (and hiding your first bugs post). As there is a beta that fixes this for you, I have unhidden that post only to point people here in case they need similar help to you.
