Re: Xara Pro 3.2 is $39 ???
Doug when Xara has provided bug fixes for previous versions they have been freely available as a download.
Release 3.2 of Xtreme Pro will be more than a bug fix I am sure as the change is from version 3.02 to version 3.2 a fairly sizable increase as upgrades go.
The upgrade price is very low compared to other software I use that charge $200 USD or more for a point upgrade.

I know that-so why has that changed?

You are sure? Do you know what's included but an NDA prevents you telling us? Or are you just hoping? I hope you're right, but I have a bad feeling that this is the start of a trend.

It's not low if they charge $39 now, then again a couple fo times before 4.0 comes out. Sorry, I've seen it all too many times before-this just sounds like an attempt to milk the cash cow. Hope I'm wrong, but...:rolleyes:
Re: Xara Pro 3.2 is $39 ???
I'd love for there to be frequent paid-for upgrades and updates.
Xara Xtreme has been underpriced and underdeveloped for years.

This may be so but as already mentioned, this clearly appears to be price gouging.
Before when Xara introduced a significant upgrade I bought it every time without questions having faith in Xara both the company and products.
Now I sense a sinister plan in the works by MAGIX. I already don't trust them over this and I now feel my sense of loyalty has disconnected.
I plan to upgrade once in a blue moon now because I don't like what I see happening here.
Personally I believe many others should and will do the same. These new tactics will clearly ruin a once good relationship I enjoyed for many years (Corel Xara) with Xara.
Re: Xara Pro 3.2 is $39 ???
I for once feel relieved and start to believe in Xara even more, now that there gonna be (hopefully) frequent bugfixes and more upgrades. Using Xara daily myself I appreciate it's value to me. I'm happy to pay as long there's some development going on.
Xara Ltd hired a couple of people from what I read here in the forum and they need to get paid - and I'm happy to support.
Re: Xara Pro 3.2 is $39 ???
With only a few days to go, wouldn't it be a bit more logical to just wait and see?
It's easy for us to invent fantasies of what may or may not be coming but only Xara staff are truly aware of the whats on the horizon.
I for one love Xara Xtreme Pro (current version) and have not read anywhere that I will be forced agains't my will, to upgrade to the new version.
It seems by some of the posts that people believe they will be:eek:
Re: Xara Pro 3.2 is $39 ???
Doug I think you misunderstood my statement.
There has not been a change, the fact that there is a cost to the upgrade indicates it is more than bug fixes.

Based on what proof?
Or are you just being optimistic? As I said before, I do hope that I'm wrong-very much so. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.
Wait and see.
