Much to the delight of all Xara fans, Xara X was released towards the end of 2000 without Corel’s involvement and was wholly owned and controlled once again by Xara Ltd. CorelXARA v2.0 was released in January 2000 and was to be the final release under the Corel name because Xara soon acquired the rights to market the product under their own name again.ĬorelXARA v2.0 – released 28 January 2000 There was only one significant upgrade in the Corel years, much to the annoyance of all Xara fans. Xara Studio was re-released as CorelXARA – shown here in v1.5 dated 17 October 1996 Originally developed for the Acorn Archimedes series of computers in 1992 under the name “Artworks”, the development company Computer Concepts Ltd rebranded to Xara Ltd and ported their flagship graphics product as Xara Studio in 1994.Īfter signing a marketing agreement with Corel in 1995, Xara re-released Xara Studio as CorelXARA, but Corel’s priority was less about “marketing” CorelXARA and more about burying it in order to continue to push their own CorelDRAW product. The program has a long and confusing history, having been released under many different names.
Xara Xtreme v3.2 – released on CD on 13th July 2007 Xara Xtreme Pro v3.2 – released on CD on 17th July 2007 Parent company Magix also produces some other versions, but the ‘pure’ versions are those released by Xara. If you are looking to buy Xara Xtreme, you can compare the two versions and buy from the Xara website by clicking here.Ĭurrently in version 3.2 (released in July 2007), there are two Xara-branded versions: Xara Xtreme and Xara Xtreme Pro.
This page gives a little detail on the evolution of the software through its 15 year life and 6 different names. I use Xara Xtreme Pro virtually exclusively for all design work. This page refers to Xara Xtreme Pro v3.2 being the latest version of the software, but it has been replaced a few times and as of February 2016 the current version is Xara Designer Pro X11.
NOTE: This page has not been updated since 2007.
