Upgrade Xara pro19?

[MB365]

One of the things that really bothers me is that Xara is charging a price that was comparable to the upgrade price in the past but the program is 2 versions old. There is no way I can justify paying for this when it is this far out of date.

It is one of the reason Affinity is a better option if you are not doing web sites.

Hi Ray,

Xara v20 being 2 versions old is not accurate.

@Matt, thank you for the Product page links, advising the current offer prices and new v20 products.

When the Thread was started we had scant information on a nascent v19 that seemingly came to nothing. The Thread has been reflecting people's perceptions at the time.
The Product pages were published around 12 December and the Release Notes on 15 December though I think we discover the one Product Page around 05 December.
The Product pages seemingly are not integrated into your website. If they are I apologise. If not, those who never touch TG and possibly a few that do will still have no idea of what's afoot.
The Release Notes are more detailed that what the normally get with Plus upgrades so you have my appreciation.

the email I received on the 4th December said 'The secret's out. Designer Pro v20 launches next week' - if it has been launched I missed it - perhaps it was notified elsewhere?

I didn't even get the email :-)

Assuming I have the right email, you unsubscribed from Xara emails over two years ago.

As always, please contact us through the chat at www.xara.com or www.xara.com/contact-us so we can help.

If version 20 does not have the Web blocks, only + versions have the Web blocks, would you still be able to use version 20 to make changes to a web sites that has had Web blocks used in it?

Thanks
Ray.

Ray, in v20 or earlier, I am sure you could still see the WB on the design page but they would appear without the full functionality.

I just tried all the way back to v11 and the items inside a WB can be manipulated regarding their placement.
You do not have the controls to change padding and other aspects.

So it looks promising.
