Bezier tool - when did it change

[Chezqui]

I might be going insane but, I have just started an illustration in Affinity Designer desktop and the bezier (pen) tool has changed, hasn't it?

I have been going back to Illustrator 6, since Adobe cut my cloud version simply because I prefer the pen tool. As far as I remember the Affinity pen tool was the same as it was in Flash (remember Flash)?

It was early morning and I couldn't be bothered with the desktop machine, I was in bed with a pot of tea. So I fired up my laptop to try Affinity again. Imagine my joy to find the pen tool now allows open paths - or did it always and I am having mental issues?

Might be the aforementioned  'pot of tea.' Yes it always did that.
