With minor impact, it has not been given it's own release notes or put on auto-update notification for build 1.6.1. - Social Media Links on Welcome dialog updated. Affinity Social links are now @AffinityBySerif and so the software links have been updated to reflect this change.

Staff MEB Posted November 25, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hi Ahmed 1001, Welcome to Affinity Forums Currently Affinity apps don't support RTL languages, sorry. We are considering this for a future update but it will still take quite some time until we get there.

If you bought it from the Mac app store then that is where you can find the updates. If you have the Windows version bought from the Affinity Store, then simply Run the purchased version of the software and if you need to update you will be prompted to download it.

nezumi Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 In the download page theres already 1.6.2 but cant find any info about it? May I ask... Whats up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 5, 2017 Author Staff Share Posted December 5, 2017 I will add to this announcement tomorrow, as the differences are aesthetic/minimal, but the version increases was a side effect of the Microsoft Store beta process and release Essentially they have the same functionality but different social media links! That's why they aren't on auto update from 1.6.1 Rick G 1 Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
