Keith, that is the very point I have been pressing Xara with since our nemesis, sorry, the Xara Update Service was spawned from the Stygian depths.

A point release, bug fix, is very easy to deliver, it is a link to a download (v13.0pr). Purchasers then do need an email to advise that the version they bought (v13.0) needs to be additionally updated for the bug fix (v13.0pr), pending the next planned update (v13.1).
This can totally bypass the Xara desktop program built-in automatic update function until the bug fixes are incorporated into the next update (v13.1 [incorporating v13.0pr]).

Storage is cheap, emails are cheap, common sense is priceless.

Simples,
