Obviously the "big" feature was the UI unification and customization. I will have to try it out to see how I like it, but it's not something I was pushing for. I absolutely do understand that there was a huge amount of UI-related work involved, to the point of pushing most new feature work out of this release. And I can understand why the first Canva release needed (strategically) to have that infrastructure work in it. But it's not what I was looking for.
I mostly work in Publisher (now "layout") so I was quite interested in some of the stuff Ash was just quickly tossing out toward the end of the Affinity-specific presentation. Linked text is one in particular. I intend to go read all the documentation on that, especially to see if they have dealt (in any helpful way) with concatenated/split linked text files in one story, and if linked text files can be specified via import merge.
I've also noted some bitrot in the "read-only" content. I went looking for one of my old posts and the search function did not call it up. Fortunately, I had an attachment and was able to retrieve the thread that way. But trying the exact thread title found nothing through search.
