    Default Version 5.1 Launched

    We’ve just launched version 5 of Xara Xtreme and Xara Xtreme Pro! All of the web features of Web Designer, launched earlier this year, are now included in both Xtreme products and there are many other new features too, including content-aware photo scaling, anchored text objects and a new Object Gallery to replace the old Layer Gallery. See the website for details:
    http://www.xara.com/products/xtreme/

    Or for a more detailed list have a look at this published GoogleDoc:
    http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddpdz8pc_0hbjf82hj

    And here’s another published GoogleDoc which describes how to use some of the main new features. This info is all included in the program Help of course:
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dcz...r92cj&hl=en_GB

    As always, trial versions of both products are available for download from the website:
    http://www.xara.com/uk/downloads/xtreme/

    We look forward to your feedback on the new versions on this forum!

    Regards

    The Xara Team

    Woot, lots of new features that I've wanted for a while.

    I wish you guys would release these new versions on a North American schedule so that I could try them out without having to wait for my work day to end.

    Thumbs up Re: Version 5.1 Launched

    It is obvious that a lot of hard work has gone into making this update to Xtreme.

    Thanks to all the Xara development team for an excellent job.

    Hi,
    I just purchased the New Xtreme Pro 5 and got my key.
    Now does xara send a Cd/DVD as previous Xtreme Pro products? I know the Web designer is download only is that new policy?

    From the "What's Included" part of the webpage:

    Instant unlock of the trial, plus a CD with the Xtreme software, more than 80 demo movies, full help, more than 50 Live Effects plug-ins, more than 3000 images including clipart, example illustrations and template graphics, 200 photos, 500 textures, 250 Truetype and PostScript fonts. A printed Quick Reference Card. Plus an extra Xara Xone CD containing more than 80 HTML tutorials featuring step by step creation of images and Hints & Tips. 450 page printed manual.

    Important Note: If you are upgrading your Xara Xtreme Pro 3.x to Pro 4 you will not receive the printed manual. The updated Xara Xone CD includes PDF Release Notes covering the new features.
    Looks like a CD and also a printed manual, which is extra sweet! Assuming that wasn't left in there by accident or something, since it mentions the wrong version number (Pro 4 instead of Pro 5).

    I should point out that this is what I saw when selecting the option to upgrade from Pro 4 to Pro 5. I assume you'd get the CD either way as another page mentions how the download trial doesn't have all of the extra content that the CD does.

    Reading between the lines of the website it does mention the trial download does not include some of the resources on the CD.

    I assume this means there will be a CD to go along with the beautifully designed images for the boxes shown.
