Staff MattP Posted March 17, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 17, 2021 Status: Beta Purpose: Features, Improvements, Fixes Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer Mac App Store: Not Submitted Download: Download Auto-update: Not available Hello, 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 1.9.1 version recently released to all customers (although it still installs parallel to the released version, as described above). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below. Thanks again for your continued support! Many thanks! Matt Changes This Time - Fix for insta-crash encountered in the Vector Brush tool on 'Undo' action. - Fix for inability to create a new Object Style if the only difference was a property of the stroke. - Hopefully add a fix for the slow startup issue encountered since becoming a Universal binary (supporting both Intel and Apple silicon). - Added support for OpenType reverse chaining contextual single substitutions.- Significant performance improvements for assets (import, export, organisation, etc.).- Unsplash stock panel functional again. - Typography panel performance improvements.- Help improvements.- Localisation improvements. Changes Since 1.9.1 - Fix for Assets and Symbols transforming greatly when dragged onto resized artboards. - Small fixes for occasional misbehaviour of placed PDFs. - Fix for OpenAsset issues. - Misc fixes for My Account feature and content downloads. - Hopefully fixed an occasional problem with the New Document dialog not showing content after tabbing away to another app and back again. - Renamed the export area options to something more friendly (on the Export dialog). - Misc visual fixes for menu items that were not the correct (app) colour scheme.

Good for them they fixed this, although I have zero clue what that means. There are 2 parts left and right of "reverse chaining" that could, maybe, be understandable,. But how "reverse chaining" is connecting them is not even Greek to me. But it sounds like pretty good song material.
