Affinity Publisher 2 for macOS - (2.4.2)

[Patrick Connor]

We are pleased to announce an update for the macOS release of Affinity Publisher 2, version 2.4.2

The changes in Affinity Publisher 2 for macOS 2.4.2 (those made since the last release ) are listed in this FAQ forum post:

Those are the changes made since the last release Affinity Publisher 2 for macOS 2.4.0 & 2.4.1

 

To get notified when any new releases are made please follow the latest releases thread by clicking here

UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (Free for existing customers)

The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in application menu, Affinity Publisher > About).

If you’ve purchased from the Mac App Store— updates are done automatically next time you run your software after it is available in the Mac App Store. If this does not happen for you, open the Mac App Store app and go to the Updates page and then Store > Reload page or press CMD+R. This should hopefully force the update to show. Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world which can mean it may take up to 72 hours for your update to be available.

If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer to download and install any available update, or in the application main menu there is an option Check for Updates. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "download" button in there. Alternatively, this new release (and previous versions of Affinity Publisher for macOS) can be downloaded from this link (that installer is NOT for Mac app store purchases, which update through the Mac App Store).

I'm not sure if this should go into Bugs, but the update seems to have wiped my custom dictionary. All of the weird aliem words in my document are reading as red squiggly all of a sudden.

I believe this is a new bug in macOS and not Affinity, I'm experiencing the same issue. I have started a thread in the desktop questions forum and replied to you there.

Cheers

Can you give me some step-by-step instructions on how to find my Default Language? I'm a little lost.

Patrick provided the steps which are create a new document, draw a text frame, type a character (not really necessary), and look at the Character panel, Language > Spelling list.

But please don't post a bug report, this isn't a bug in Affinity but in macOS.
