Affinity Publisher for macOS - 1.9.3

[Patrick Connor]

We are pleased to announce an update for the macOS release of Affinity Publisher, version 1.9.3

Changes in this build

The detailed changes in Affinity Publisher for MacOS 1.9.3 over the release build Affinity Publisher for macOS 1.9.2 are as follows:

Fixes & Improvements:

• Resource Manager - memory leak fixed
• Fixed a performance regression
• Memory leak fixes in the Layer panel
• Help and Localisation improvements

The new features in 1.9 are listed in some detail in this 1.9.0 Publisher macOS update announcement 

 

UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (Free for existing customers)

The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in application menu, Affinity Publisher > About).

If you’ve purchased from the Mac App Store— updates are done automatically next time you run your software after it is available in the Mac App Store. If this does not happen for you, open the Mac App Store app and go to the Updates page and then Store > Reload page or press CMD+R. This should hopefully force the update to show. Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world which can mean it may take up to 72 hours for your update to be available.

If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer to download and install any available update, or in the application main menu there is an option Check for Updates. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "download" button in there. Alternatively, this new release (and previous versions of Affinity Publisher for macOS) can be downloaded from this link (that installer is NOT for Mac App Store purchases and needs a product key).

I'm in early, but the new update popup that showed up in Publisher had a link to the 1.9.2 release notes instead of this thread.

Yes that will happen for a short time due to the steps in the release procedure, the update link uses a redirect which pointed to the last release notes but now points to 1.9.3 (here). Thanks for telling us.

I was waiting for it. Downloaded and whoa! what a difference. Not a single crash in all day, even with files with 3000+ images. Former version was making me mad, with crashes every 20 to 30 minutes and very unstable . Now it goes smoooooooth!!!

Kudos to the team!

I see that Affinity Publisher was specifically mentioned, amongst a few other products, in today's Apple event.  Excellent work by the Affinity team, it shows that Apple sees Publisher as being quite worthy of mention.

Yess, exactly, I also watched the keynote live and celebrated Affinity! Congratulations!  Keep up the great work!

I missed that keynote, I think. Will have to look it up later...
