Serif released beta versions of affinity Photo and Affinity Designer software. New versions focus on improvements and stability fixes. Affinity Photo received the option to change the UI to lighter version.
Current customers can download the latest betas from Affinity Forum.. This is the first beta of a substantial change to codebase and as much as Serif have tried to ensure the quality of the code, it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is definitely worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.6 may not open in 1.5 so always make a copy of your important documents before opening them in 1.6 to ensure you do not accidentally overwrite them and are unable to open them in your 1.5 version.
