nezumi Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 I would think so - otherwise why to change version number? Quote

Conventionally: A is the Version. Major Changes. B is new and or improved Features/Tools. C is Bug Fixes. So I would expect 2.2.x to have some new features. Whereas 2.1.1 was some bug fixes over 2.1.0 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

dave64 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 As for new features, I know this has come up elsewhere but being able to include dimension lines as visible & printable objects would be very useful. pruus and GRAFKOM 2 Quote
rui_mac Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 It would be amazing to see the recently "hinted" Blend tool added. It has been requested since version 1.0 was in beta, many, many years ago. Barry Newman, Westerwälder and debraspicher 2 1 Quote

However, I have a feeling that Serif does not throw "big" news into a (late) summer release, but waits for a release where marketing and sales and attention go up, not now when the season attracts attention and sends us on vacation or adventure.

Ruben Martins Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 It would be good to be able to export indesign format or Ai format because since all the Adobe suit is industry standard, but it sucks and it's ux outdated, we need some features to work for profissionalismo without going back to adobe. Photo needs AI tools Designer needs Blend tool Publisher needs indd format. rui_mac and Westerwälder 1 1 Quote

Staff Patrick Connor Posted August 6, 2023 Staff Posted August 6, 2023 2.2 will be a fairly short beta cycle and is now basically feature complete, but will get some more builds to iron out the bugs. 2.3 may be longer beta to allow for more complex features. I would expect that new cycle to start shortly after 2.2 is released. debraspicher and Sonny Sonny 2 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Hope some more exciting features will come to Affinity Photo, reading changelogs for V2+ branch feels more like a maintenance mode I was kind of expecting opposite with inflow of new monies from people upgrading.

It could be 2.1/2.2 were meant to include "ready-ish" features that weren't ready for prime time for when 2.0 needed to be dropped. They are wrapping up development work from then before starting to work on more major/complex things. It's just my guess. 2.0 was released not even a year ago. We are already looking towards 2.3. That's why I think some of the stuff that is being added is just remnants and continuation of items that didn't make it into 2.0 and perhaps we will see bigger items/complex/comprehensive improvements added as the betas continue more suited for a new cycle of development. I hope. And older bugs finally being addressed. Please, Serif. Quote
