evtonic3 Posted February 24, 2024 Posted February 24, 2024 Just for my understanding, if 2.4 is all about bugs and changes, why is it given a new number? Isn't it just an update to 2.3 and an improvement to 2.3? A new version, to me, would be if you have at least a couple of things that were added. Unless I missed something. Quote

Bryan Rieger Posted February 24, 2024 Posted February 24, 2024 There are new features in 2.4, but by beyond layer states, and DWG/DXF export the rest are largely minor improvements. Serif tend to keep pushing the number up without actually adding any of the long-standing feature requests and bug fixes that folks have been asking for—often for many years. I'm usually 'happy' (I don't expect anything BIG from Serif anymore) if the next version doesn't introduce too many new bugs, or break existing features. Gripsholm Lion 1 Quote

Addition of, or changes to the working of, Layer States, could be sufficient enough to cause that.

I tend to think that it was a considerable amount of work. Since I believe that Affinity Designer is a tool much beloved by people making CNC works, I would consider this one of the biggest thing they have added lately. Paolo Alfred 1 Quote
