Affinity Designer for Windows - 1.10.1

[Patrick Connor]

We are pleased to announce an update for the Windows release of Affinity Designer, version 1.10.1

The detailed changes in Affinity Designer for Windows 1.10.1 (over the last release Affinity Designer for Windows 1.10.0) are as follows:

Fixes & Improvements:

• Converting text with emojis, underlined text, or text with other attributes to curves would cause the app to crash. 
• Application failed to launch due to downloaded My Account content that contains missing fonts. 
• Fixed a crash that could occur when closing the application. 
• Trials have been reset, so anyone who has tried the 10 day trail before can start a new trial. 
• Fixed the "Failed to save" error in documents containing duplicated picture frames.
• Unsplash removed from the stock panel
• Help & localisation improvements.

The improvements in 1.10 are listed in some detail in this 1.10.0 Designer Windows 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 Help > About Affinity Designer).

If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the Affinity Store software it will check for updates and offer any available update. The latest update will install over the top of any earlier version, with no need to uninstall. 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 Designer for Windows) can be downloaded from this link (that installer is NOT for Windows Store purchases and needs a product key).

If you’ve purchased from the Microsoft Store— Microsoft Store updates are done automatically by the operating system (each time you start the application). If this does not happen for you, open the Windows Store app and click the three dots in the top right corner of the app and then go to Downloads and Updates. Click Get Updates. This should hopefully force the update to show.

Okay, so it's not worth downloading the latest version for now

A new update to fix functional errors and problems.
But unfortunately, functional errors and problems that have been reported in the forum for more than a year have still not been corrected.

The best example is the incorrect calculations with the Divide function from Geometry, when you want to divide several superimposed shapes (especially more curved shapes). And if the shapes have additional strokes, these are separated from the shapes and become their own elements, which even with too many overlays become individual fragments of a contour.

Thank you Affinity team for your hard work I hope those 2 issues will get resolved as well later.

In Affinity Designer, version 1.10.1, unfortunately, the poor export quality of PNG files with poor smoothing of letters has not been fixed. Professional use of software is therefore not possible for me. This also affects Publisher. I own Designer, Publisher and Photo.
