VectorCat Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Affinity Designer is one of two applications that's keeping me on OS X. I am not going to upgrade OS X beyond El Capitan - 10.11.6 I have version 1.6.0 of AD running on this Mac. Does anyone know how long Affinity Designer will run on El Capitan - in terms of future releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Do not put the devil on the wall, I'm sitting in the same boat here. - Hopefully some longer time ... !

R C-R Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Maybe a more significant question is how long Apple will support security updates for El Capitan & what risks users would face by running it after that. After all, almost every security expert on the planet agrees that the number 1 rule for maintaining a secure system is to keep the OS updated to the latest version. Personally, I sometimes run a few of my old Macs on older, no longer supported OS versions, & I have taken every precaution I can think of to protect them from malware infections, but I still worry that may not be enough. Anyway, in terms of future AD updates I don't think anybody, not even Serif/Affinity, can predict what system requirement limitations may become necessary to support some new features added to the Affinity apps. But since users are not forced to update them, if you are running an OS version that is no longer supported you can always just not install the new update & keep using the older compatible one, right? rocha 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.5 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorCat Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Thank you.. what I'm angling for is more along the lines of whether the developers themselves know of any change to the such that they would want AD to take advantage of it, thereby requiring them to leave El Cap and other OS X versions behind. OR Whether something is coming down the pike from Cupertino which might "break" AD - something that often happens with OS X revisions. Can any developers weigh in on this question? Thank you!
