Xtreme Pro 3.2 & Xtreme 3.2 Released!

[NeilH]

Version 3.2 of Xara Xtreme and Xara Xtreme Pro are now available for download and purchase from our website!

You can find an overview of What's New in 3.2 on our website here:
http://www.xara.com/products/xtreme/whatsnew.asp
but you can also download full release notes with the trials from here:
http://www.xara.com/downloads/xtreme/
(72 pages for Xtreme 3.2 and 18 pages for Xtreme Pro).

Prices:
The Xara Xtreme 3.2 upgrade is priced at $49 with an introductory offer price of $39
The Xara Xtreme Pro upgrade price is $59 with an introductory offer of $49
(plus VAT and shipping where relevant, intro offer lasts 4 weeks and ends 6 July. If you purchased Xtreme or Xtreme Pro in the last 6 weeks then upgrades are free, there's only the cost of shipping).

Upgrading:
Please review the features and improvements, try the new versions, and then decide whether the upgrade is for you. The upgrade for Xtreme owners is more substantial because it's been longer since the last version (2.0). For Xtreme Pro users this is a smaller upgrade (from version 3.0 to 3.2) and some may decide not to upgrade and wait for the next update. However for regular users of Pro we think that you should find some of the improvements worth the upgrade price (e.g. even minor points such as being able to resize rounded rectangles and keep the round corners, or the new improved zoom, or integration with external photo editors, make a substantial difference to the usability and workflow).

And compared to the recent upgrade of Adobe Illustrator (equivalent of $300 in the UK, more than the full retail price of Pro!) we feel the price is easily justifiable.

WARNING for PRO 3.0 users
You can download a trial of the new version, but this will install over your existing version without asking you. If you later decide not to upgrade then you will need to un-install 3.2 and re-install version 3.0 from your CD.

Regards,

The Xara Team

Woot!!! Nice upgrades

The right click copy is worth its weight in gold.
Haven't had time to like other features.
Question though:

I now can export Flash Animations in Xara Xtreme (not Pro)

Is this a surprise? Yay! tytytytyty

>>Getting the following message when trying to unlock the trial using the same credentials I purchased the upgrade (XX Pro) with. Am I missing something?

Scratch that. Wrong download. Not firing on all cylinders today. Down with cold...

[jamesmc]

Did you press trial instead of unlock?

Win 98SE now not suported??? Bad news...

Wow. This is pretty cool.

"If you've ever drawn a line and then clicked a color and wondered why the line color didn't change, then you'll appreciate the new smart object coloring. Xtreme not detects whether the shape is open or closed and a left click will now set the line and fill color of an open path (i.e of an unfilled shape)."

I hope that there is a discount for those of us who already have X3D6. I think that $49 is a great price for the extra functionality of X3D, but if you already have it...not so much.

I'm installing the trial now. I guess I'll see soon.

I just checked...no discount for owners of X3D6...bummer.

It's great and all that X3D6 is now included-nice bonus. But for us loyal Xara users that paid seperately for X3D6, it would be a nice show of faith to give some discount, even a token discount.

I recommend going for the upgrade from your current version of Xara Xtreme or Pro or previous version and see what the discount is calculated for you.

You can always cancel the purchase if you decide the upgrade price is more than you want to pay.

Perhaps it's a good idea to offer a "naked" Xara Xtreme Pro upgrade - I don't need such a software like Xara 3D or MAGIX foto clinic.
