I've never seen official Beta testing talked about on the open forums.
As far as I am aware, Xara's beta testing phase takes place privately for many months prior to any release.
Often minor patches or updates are released to fix any user identified bugs which have been found after release - I'd expect some missed bugs to turn up in the coming weeks with version 5 also

I think you're right about that - the talk on the forums was about patches for XX4, not beta testing.

You know what?
I ran XX 4 and 5 simultaneously and checked all the options from top to bottom on the left menu, including suboptions and functions... I couldn't find more than 2-3 differences or examples of something which couldn't be done already...

I'll thank Xara too. Thank you, not buying.
I'll wait for XX 6.
