No drawing application I am aware of imports "now current" CD files. And none do/translate all possible CD entities without some sort of problem.
You can download InkScape, I think it does up to CD version 8. There have been plans for that OpenSource application to open yet newer versions. But I don't think they yet can. I sometimes use it (or rather, UniConverter) to open legacy CD8 files to move into other applications. I think Illy does up to CD10 files, but I cannot remember for certain.
I keep CD installed on an XP Pro computer and use it to transfer some art. However, Xara really, really needs to update its import/export filters.

Have you tried using a pdf format to transfer files between Xara and Corel Draw? I can't test this but if someone else has both a current version of CD and a Xara program to test with I'd be interested to hear the results.

An exported .pdf of a simple shape from XDPX9 (2.35kb) causes CorelDraw 9 and CorelDraw X6 to stop responding (several attempts).
A similar simple shape exports from CorelDraw X6 at 1.3MB (!) and when imported to XDPX9, it is editable, but there is a distinct colour shift (CMYK to RGB).

Why did I get a new email this morning announcing this product? Has something changed since the original release?
The email is dated 20 August 2013 and says it is a new product just released!!
Hmm. I have transfered stuff before using a PDF between XDP and CD without unusual issues. Some usual issues can occur that happen when I use XDP to open a PDF--especially an AI or ID PDF.
The screen shot is a blend I created in XDP, exported as PDF and opened in CDX6. All editable.

Here's a example of a .pdf file exported from CorelX4 and imported into P&LD.
The text lines break in strange places and there's a really bad colour shift in the images even though when I exported from CD, I selected export images as CMYK
