Yesterday afternoon (Spanish time), as Apple had announced last Tuesday, November 10, Apple's servers launched the final version of macOS Big Sur, an update that has been delayed longer than most users expected because Apple wanted to make it coincide with the introduction of the new Macs.
Although for several weeks, some applications had already been updated to be compatible with macOS Big Sur, those that require this latest version of macOS could not be submitted for review until last Tuesday, with Things being one of the first. Now it is the turn of the Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher applications.
The guys from Serif Labs, developer of these three applications, have just released a new update of these three applications, applications that are fully cCompatible with both macOS Big Sur and the new Apple M1 processors that Apple introduced last Tuesday.
As we can Read on the Serif Labs website:
The advantages [of M1] are particularly notable when working on documents with thousands of layers of pixels, vector objects, and text. Changes in pixel layers are better handled on the GPU, while vectors and text are handled on the CPU, so when you have unified memory it allows for much faster handling of these complex documents.
Serif Labs has optimized the applications using the Apple developer transition kit, which has allowed it to release the updates at the same time that macOS Big Sur has hit the market.
This new update is available for free for all those users who have the previous version. Each of these applications is priced at 54,99 euros in the Mac App Store.
