Whrere is the PDF-Bugfix in XDP v15.1?

Dear Xara,
when will the PDF-bug finally be fixed in XDP v15.1?
The money I paid for the subscription has no bugs either. You were happy to take it. Now it's time for you to act and fix the program.

This is the answer I got 3 weeks ago: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...803#post597803
So it seems they have a fix, but delay it to be released with the next regular update. One would think that a crippling bug like this justifies an immediate hotfix, but obviously XARA has other priorities.

one possible issue is, as I understand it, that magix are resposible for compiling the installers [having taken the marketing and distribution on board]; they may have other priorities...

Could be. But then again Magix is actually selling a defective product since May (when 15.1 was released). They surely can't have any interest in that?

This is a poor and well known behavior. I bought a bug and they sell it as a update to be fixed. Maybe as a feauter like the squoosh thing.
Magix this is terrible. If I would treat my customers so like You treat us, I'm out of bussines. PLS change that immediately.

well magix have an extensive product range, the question is how much of a priority is xara to them?

v15.1 actually fixed a lot of things wrong with v15.0 but not the PDF issue apparently; why i don't know, but perhaps it is not logistically practical to issue fixes 'at the drop of a hat' they have to wait in a 'queue'

Ernie - it is bad, however I get the feeling [no more than that] that xara would have to make a case to magix for pushing this fix out ahead of the next update in terms of compiling/distributing, especially after the unplanned work that went into ver 15.1 itself
