I'd start a revolution, if I could get up in the morning.
So far, fantastic upgrade.. but... default template is ignored on startup. I change mine to US letter with rulers and object attributes set a certain way, (saved as default) but each time I restart it defaults back to 800x600, no rulers, etc. I have to select new template to get what I saved as default.
I'm sure this will be fixed.

Bah!
I cant seem to be able to change line width numerically in the beta.
Bah!
Back to Xtreme
Hmm on further experimentation it does work but only if you specify the units. If you don't it assumes 'points' and then translates it into pixels (my page units)
Bit of a backward step in the workflow that one. 5 pts (6.67pix) knocked off the score from this judge.

Pauland -
I edited my post with more info.
Yep seems line width control has a number of rather too-obvious bugs. Will be fixed.
Not a bug, more an omission perhaps. The new text tool is a fantastic improvement but could there not be the ability to have leaders for set tab positions so as to link items to prices for instance in a menu, (which I do a fair number of)
Just a simple dotted line..................please.

Please can we not have intelligent wrapping for objects in front of text? Surely this is a must for page layout???
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

PDF outbut bugs:
I found I cannot output spot colors on separate plates (they come out as CMYK);
Black overprint in print options has no effect;
not even fill or line overprint in imagesetting menu appears to be working.
I made the tests using pdf/x exports, here is the test file used.
Anyway the pro version is impressive
