Staff Popular Post Ash Posted October 25, 2023 Staff Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 Hi All, Below is the list of all new feature and improvements which are included in the 2.3 beta (bug fix list is available here). To learn more about these features please click on the link to go to each feature's dedicated post. To give feedback or report bugs against any of these features please reply to that same post (also check out bug reporting and feedback tips). • Move Data Entry improvements • New tags panel for adding Alt Text to images and objects • Spiral Tool • Ability to change Asset Panel background colour • Fields now available in Find and Replace • Pixel grid added • "Keep selected" preference now available in Pencil Tool • Create and place password protected PDFs I should say in general we are now aiming to do slightly smaller updates more regularly than before so we can test and release in smaller chunks. This will allow us to get improvements and fixes out quicker, as well as having overall benefit to the stability of the apps. The beta phase will now be shorter (4-6 weeks) for any update, and for that reason we will be avoiding any significant changes to functionality during beta as we focus on fixing bugs and correcting unintentional behaviour. This does mean that more of your improvement suggestions may need to wait until a future update (e.g. like some of the Move Data Entry suggestions you made during 2.2 beta which have now been added to 2.3), but please keep those suggestions coming! Getting the 2.3 beta If you have not enrolled into the beta program yet and would like to take part, you can do so here. This will immediately give you access to the latest 2.3 beta builds to try for yourself. If you are already enrolled in the beta program you have two options: 1. If you still have the 2.2 beta installed, you can now run up those beta versions and you will be prompted to update them to the 2.3 beta. 2. If you have uninstalled the 2.2 beta, you will need to go back to Your Account -> Downloads and product keys and find your previous order for the Affinity Beta Software Program, and you can download the 2.3 beta from there.
