Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 8, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 8, 2022 Serif allow customers to test new builds of the software even before it is released to the public. These "beta" builds offer an opportunity to trial bug fixes, make improvements and show off new features before they are launched. This post is designed to be an aid to knowing if you are trying the latest beta version of the Affinity software on your platform. Product Name | Platform | Beta Ver. | ===========================|=================|===============| Affinity Designer 2 beta | Windows 10, 11 | 2.1.0.1706 | Affinity Photo 2 beta | Windows 10, 11 | 2.1.0.1706 | Affinity Publisher 2 beta | Windows 10, 11 | 2.1.0.1706 | Windows Customer Betas require you to be a registered owner of the paid for version of the software to work. There are currently no Affinity 2 for Windows betas running, but I will update/edit this post as new Windows Beta releases are added by the developers. We will also post to the bottom of the thread so the forum sends a notification to anyone who wants one. For forum notifications of new V2 Windows beta builds please follow this thread that you are reading. This thread is locked and will only be posted to by Serif Staff when the beta release versions are updated. Please follow this thread if you want to know about future version changes. If you think this post has got behind announcing the Windows beta updates and needs updating please PM me. mykee, jussi and debraspicher 1 2 Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
