[Photo & Pub V2] Updates?

[Ron P.]

Anyone else getting the push update notification in AP & APub Version 2? AD claims to be up to date when I ask it to check and it's running the current 2.0.0 version. I discovered this when I launched AP this morning.

I've checked the forums, and no mention of any updates... 🤔

This topic is about an update to AP:

i've got the notification too, and i see other people already updated it, but i haven't updated mine.

still waiting for the changelog, and why AD2 is not getting any update (usually they are on the same time).

Strange, after i updated Aph to 2.0.3, now i don't have any update pop-up for the Apub 2.0.0 anymore, and the other post i replied questioning about the update changelog is locked/dissapear, is the update a mistake?

I happened to be opening Photo and Publisher concurrently and managed to snag the 2.03 update for both.

We're early adopters apparently.

I somehow feel we should be complaining about something or other, but for the life of me...

Oh, wait. Perhaps something along the lines of being forced to beta-test a release. That should make those in some other threads happy, right? 😇

@walt.farrell

there's an explanation in that post

Edit: ahahah, looks like we post on the same time 😅

Is it definitely the retail version, though, or just another update to the beta?

A good question since, unless I've missed it, as there's no word on the MSI installers being available yet and it was said they would be out when the first patch was released.

Sorry everyone, this was a slight mistake. 2.0.3 will be released soon enough and the build you temporarily had access to is very likely to be the one we push out to everyone else, but for now it's been taken down.

Once we formally release 2.0.3 we will post in this thread

 

Till then if you are lucky enough to have installed it in the hour it was accidentally available then feel free to use it and we will continue to finalise the release testing (and write some formal release notes)

MSI installers (delivered as EXE downloads) will follow on shortly. They won't be released simultaneously, but I plan for them to be tested and released before we break for Christmas (on the 23rd).

They will be based on the exact same 2.0.3 software builds as is inside the MSIX install

Thank you . Very much looking forward to using 2.0.3 . Haven't used yet, waiting on MSI installers.

Anyone who accidentally got the early release to Affinity Photo 2.0.3 and Affinity Publisher 2.0.3 mentioned in this thread last week should be aware that the installs you got are NOT the official release of 2.0.3 which has a few additional last minute fixes. Because they are both called 2.0.3 your version will offer an autoupdate from 2.0.3 to 2.0.3 (yours is 2.0.3.1682 and the destination is the real 2.0.3.1688)

Suggestion: To get the official release, please install these latest release builds (which should simply install over the top of the ones you have)

Affinity Photo for Windows Download

Affinity Publisher for Windows Download

Sorry this has happened.
