Who will announce it (xara staff)

Is Xara going to announce the next update for Xara designer Pro by Magix? Or we have to check with Magix ?

Your guess is as good as any.

I feel anything to discourage us from sticking with Magix is possible.

Xara delivers a version to Magix.
Magix "integrate" and add in Newsfeeds into http content.magix.net/newsfeeds/xns/.../ that it then links into the pop-up nag.

If you have changed the Magix folders then you have disconnected yourself from the nagging but also the sub-version (Help > Check for updates), which has never worked for major versions.
Eventually, Magix releases the new version some two-three weeks after the build date.
A week or so later Xara used to include a direct download link. This will probably no longer happen.
Magix never advertise the Release Date or Version so you are left guessing.

The closest you will now get is checking at https://www.xara.com/us/web-designer/download/.
Note if you try Download Designer Pro, you only see Pro+.

As a courtesy Xara has always advised TGers. It begs the question, what about the "millions" of Xara customers, not savvy into the merits of TG.

You couldn't make it up.

We'll (Xara) announce it here as normal. Magix doesn't really have anything to do with this forum, they'll update their website rather, and probably send emails out.

Thanks

Yet to receive a Magix email notifying me of anything.
