Michail Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Is there a new Customer Beta Designer version? My designer 1.5.1.43 does not start anymore. It is said that this beta version is no longer valid. I bought Affinity Designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted January 9, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey Michail, there will be another customer beta at some point for the users who have purchased the retail version. I don't have an ETA though. How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIPStephan Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 As far as I know beta versions have a time limit after which they don’t work anymore. Usually, beta versions are for testing features not for use in production. Chris B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The beta has expired because the latest customer beta is the same as the latest patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michail Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thank you!Then you do not see if there is a new version. You have to check the forum. But this is not such a big problem :) Mark Ingram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamStanislav Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The beta has expired because the latest customer beta is the same as the latest patch. There’s a patch? How do we find out about it, and where do we get the patch from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cope Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The only way I know of is to check the News section of the forum - https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/4-news-and-information/ there's a post from Patrick Connor announcing the new build - 1.5.1 and there is a link to the initial announcement - https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30631-affinity-designer-151/ It's best to check back with the News section often.

Aammppaa Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 There’s a patch? How do we find out about it, and where do we get the patch from? What Chris means is that the customer beta is identical to the retail version that you can download fro your Affinity Account page.

Thank you, though I’d be surprised if most Affinity users were even members of the forum. It would make more sense for the software itself to check it automatically every so often and/or have an option to check for the latest version from the Help menu. Anyway, I have version 1.5.1.43. Is it the latest? Because the announcement only mentions 1.5.1, but not the fourth number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 14, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 14, 2017 Anyway, I have version 1.5.1.43. Is it the latest? Because the announcement only mentions 1.5.1, but not the fourth number. Our Windows build numbers do not follow the Mac build numbers, but like the Mac side there is only ever one release for each released patch. The last number is quoted but there won't be two (you will not get a 1.5.1.nm AND a 1.5.1.xy both as released versions of the same application). There will only be ONE 1.5.0 release build and only ONE 1.5.1 release build of Affinity Designer for Windows, and at some point there will be only ONE 1.5.2 release build to the public. The Public Released app will only prompt to patch 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.6.0, 1.6.1 etc. As it happens 1.5.0 Release of Designer was actually 1.5.0.36 but you can just call it Designer Windows 1.5.0 As it happens 1.5.1 Release of Designer was actually 1.5.1.43 (the same number as the last customer beta) but you can just call it Designer Windows 1.5.1 We will do some more builds and betas testing 1.5.2.a & 1.5.2.b & 1.5.2.c customer betas before Designer Windows Public Patch 1.5.2.x is released, called Designer Windows 1.5.2 for short. You do not need to install the beta builds unless you want to check a fix out before that fix is available as a public release. Additionally some users do not appreciate that Photo and Designer are independent products, and the numbers aren't in sync. (Photo Windows 1.5.0 release is 1.5.0.45 and 1.5.1 will be build 53 or higher) Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
