The past four and half months have been challenging as we’ve all adapted to working from home. But thankfully, this hasn’t stopped us working hard on our apps and bringing you another update—say hello to version 1.8.4.

The focus of this version has been on lots of fixes, performance improvements and various small tweaks, including:

Many IDML, PDF and text improvements in Affinity Publisher
Magic Keyboard support for the iPad versions of both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, including updated cursors to show hover states and trackpad gesture support
Numerous RAW improvements in Affinity Photo
The ability to show groups as folder icons in the Layer Panel across all apps
Preparations to our macOS and iPad apps to ready them for the release of Big Sur and iOS 14 later in the year.

Full support for the new Magic Keyboard, including trackpad gestures, now available for iPad.

Affinity apps are now ready for the launch of Big Sur and iOS 14.

You can choose to show groups as folders in compacted rows in the Layers Panel.
