The guys beta testing will be well informed of the new features, c'mon guys spill the beans, what is worth checking out when I download the trial?
And has there been much effort to clear out the legacy bugs?

One of the most lack lustre software releases ever. It should be quite evident from the lack of a stream of posts that usually follows a new release. Slap on a new number, juggle features between other software they already have and call it a great new release. Dunno what they broke this time around tho, but it will come up soon! :)
Except for the speed increase I haven't found anything yet that I need.
The system I work on is blazing fast already, so I actually didn't notice much of a speed gain. Was hoping they had fixed the Live Sketch tool. Was a hyped up feature a few versions ago, but then they broke it and never cared to fix it since. So probably all the other legacy bugs are still thriving in the woodwork.
The document dirty flag was getting turned on even just switching before open documents in the previous version. That seems to have been fixed. Nothing much else I noticed as yet
EDIT: Sorry. My bad. the document dirty flag bug still exists. Sheesh.
Just tried that. Works without a hitch.
The new hybrid vector/bitmap brushes are worth the upgrade to me. I have been using Corel Painter for natural media artwork, and using draw to create vector art to make hybrid art. The new brushes are a godsend in my case.
