JUST RELEASED: A New Version of Xara Web Designer

[webmaster]

We’ve released updates to Xara Web Designer and Web Designer Premium, available now.

As promised we have been working away on Open Type and Table support and there are significant enhancements to both, which I’m sure will be welcome here on TG. Another highlight is a powerful new graphic design tool, ‘color palette from photo’, which analyses a photo, identifies the predominant colors and creates a color palette of Theme Colors based on those colors which you can then use in your document.

You can find full details on these and other new features in the Release Notes @ http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/web-designer-16/

If you have an active Update Service then you can access this update now for free. NOTE you need to re-download the software, there is no auto-update. You can uninstall your current version or run it alongside if you prefer, and it uses the same serial number.

If your Update Service has expired then you can renew your Update Service / upgrade in order to get this and other updates since your version. Go to the Web Designer page on magix.com and click Upgrade.

Also since we have moved on to v16 you have the opportunity to download the trial and try it again, even if you have run the trial of a previous version.

One final point, there is no 32 bit version, we will no longer be producing them.

I hope you enjoy the new features!

Kate Moir, Xara

Good day,

So I'm a bit confused. I own Xara Designer Pro X 15.1.0.53605 DL x 64 May 3 2018. Based on the link above Designer Pro did not receive an update--only Xara Web Designer and Web Designer Premium. Is that correct, and if so when will Designer Pro be updated?

Thanks.

An update only alerts within the major version number. Xara know this and glibly announce a new version is available in their site and in boards like these. This totally isolates those Customers who don't go looking and expect the courtesy of some notification.

Xara needs to knuckle down to the EU's GDPR (or equivalence) and use the purchase email to inform Customers.
I am sure it is wiffle-waffle between Xara and Magix as to who is responsible.

The confusion is not yours, it is theirs.

P.S. XDPX technically came out first this time though the launches were very ragged.

NOTE: TO update to 16.0 you will need to re-download Designer Pro, as there is no auto-update.

Hi jcnassoc, since this is the web design forum we announce releases of Web Designer here. We announce Designer Pro and PGD in the graphic design forum, and since that won't cover everyone we announce all releases in Announcements. You will also see noticeboards and mailshots in the coming days, TG is always done first. Hope you like the new version!

Kate Moir, Xara - sorry for bad English.

So far, I have not found the 15.1 (Humble Bundle) upgrade version 16 version. The full version was written in HB's offer. Here it is written that it is possible to upgrade but it is for 129, - euro which I do not like. Please give a clear answer, as it is from Upgrade Pro 15.1 to a newer version. Thank you.

[jcnassoc]

Thanks all.
