The Xara Desktop Applications with and without the Update Service

[Acorn]

Xara now markets the Plus range, which are all subscription: https://www.xara.com/uk/products/.

Xara refer to the Magix products as Legacy: https://www.xara.com/uk/products/. These are purchased covered by the Update Service for a yearly renewal (intermittent subscription) but yours to use forever (subject to SNAFUs previously advised).

Xara has just released a bug fix for its Xara Designer Pro v20 Perpetual. Don't blame me for its poor product naming!

The link to this is really hidden: https://www.xara.com/designerpro/v20/

The first version of the Perpetual DesignerPro executable is 20.0.0.68181 Nov 23, 2023.
The bug-fix version of the Perpetual DesignerPro executable is 20.0.1.69102 May 3, 2024; as of this Post's date, we have no knowledge of what has changed.

'Perpetual' is a one-off purchase. The 'Plus' products are all subscription.
'Perpetual' by-passes the Online Content Catalogue (OCC) entirely by bundling a largish subset of the OCC for offline use. The OCC in the 'Plus' products is rename (Xara) Elements.

Both are totally detached from Magix.

FWIW I have sent Xara support a support request asking for a change log for the May 3 version of DP20 Perpetual.

The devs have responded to other support requests I have made (regarding an issue with the DP20’s help webpage), so you never know, I might get a response about the DP20 Perpetual change log.
