Hi,

Sort of. Because there are interim updates with new features between major releases, there is a history by date where one would expect to find it, on Magix.com under Xara, Update History.

Thank you for that info. Looking at that list, It seems there are very few changes in the software from x16 to x18. There is the access to the catalogue but most of that is free on the web anyway. I've been using Xara since about 2005 so I'm just trying to see if there's value in the re-subscription. Thanks again. Steve...

@Steve-Boyd Be aware that the version that Magix sells is different from the version that Xara offers. Xara releases are getting updates like every two months and have an additional cloud editing functionality and are subscription based. Magix releases are missing the cloud feature, are not subscription based and get only one or two updates per year (which combine most of the updates of the Xara releases).
