When Serif first released its pro-level rival to Illustrator, Affinity Designer, last October, it made great play of the fact that it was subscription-free: unlike Adobe's Creative Cloud apps, you only pay once.
And just to sweeten the deal further, the company promised that any updates to the software would also be free, "for at least two years".
So far they've kept their promise, and today Affinity Designer launches its first big update. Version 1.2 is now available to download via the Mac App Store.
This free update for Affinity Designer owners introduces an intuitive, time-saving Corner tool, a much-requested text-on-a-path feature, and Pixel Alignment Mode for web & UI design.
A new capability to save undo History with documents lets you slide back in time to inspect a design – or go back and take it in a new direction – days, weeks or months after it was last edited.
Affinity Designer's sister tool, the recently released Photoshop alternative Affinity Photo hasn't been forgotten either. With new seamless document switching into Affinity Photo beta and a common file format for saving without worry, it's now easier to use both apps and swap assets between them.
Saved document History also allows Affinity Photo to undo editing steps that were performed in Affinity Designer and vice versa.
Here's a comprehensive list of all the updates in version 1.2:
You can buy Affinity Designer on the Mac App Store for £39.99/€49.99/$49.99 with no subscription.
