I have installed version 16 of Designer Pro X. It states in the X16 Release notes that "To update to 16.0 you will need to re-download Designer Pro, as there is no auto-update"
I have left version 15.1 installed so I can transfer my settings to 16.
Some were able to transfer by exporting the relevant entries from the registry, changing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro x64\16 to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro x64\15 and reimporting. I did this for the recent file list, toolbar options and backup location. I also copied my templates to the 16 folder
Note: Regarding squashing of bitmaps.... now it appears you have to create a group (CTRL-G) of even single photos to enable scale mode for that photo. I was irked at first, but then I could see Xara's logic in doing it this way.
I will run 15.1 and 16 side by side until I am happy with 16
