Still wait for a fix about raster brush accumulation issue.

I do not see any posts about a raster brush accumulation issue, from a quick forum search. Do you have a pointer to the topic where this is discussed?

Hi Mark, read your reply now a couple of beta versions back, in short order.

Impressive work by you guys.  Now, about links and CDNs...

- The CDN move really works. It was able to saturate a decent cable internet (is there such a thing...)
with peaks of up to 50Mbit/sec, in California.  This is great, and things even the size of Affinity updates arrive rapidly.

- the links. I clicked today first on the Publisher update. Bingo, took right off downloading as expected
  Then I tried here, for Photo.  As before, no joy. I had to right-click-open-in-tab, to get it
  What's the difference?  The Publisher link is https, and the Photo one still isn't

We are likely big boys and girls here amongst the betas, and can figure this out,
but it doesn't feel good, or of the enormous design, quality, and advances level we know of Affinity

Don't mean the loud pedal, just saying a feeling, and with a smile. Can't forget all the things you guys do do, either,
as you can see :)

Best,
Clive

and it seems Chrome is taking a dislike to navigating from the HTTPS forum, to the HTTP download.

It's deliberate

It's clear in the video that brush accumulation doesn't work  

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/131655-there-is-no-pressure-on-the-brush/

Hey aji! I already asked the developers two times over the distance of a few months. @Gabe told me they still have it in their to-do list and didn't forget it. I think it might be a little bit of a deeper problem that can't be fixed quickly. I submitted bugs a few times and they usually fixed it quite fast, I do trust the developers to not let us down on this. It will take time, but they will fix it. :)
