Release Portal — Reader's Guide

What's shipped and what's planned across Quark's products — in plain language.
In short

This portal is a single, always-current place to see what has been released and what's planned next for your Quark products. It updates automatically as releases ship, so what you see reflects the current state.

  1. The products
  2. Finding a release
  3. Reading a release
  4. What “upcoming” means
  5. Questions

1 · The products

Each product has its own dashboard, cross-linked at the top of every page:

QPP Legacy

QuarkXPress Server

QuarkXPress (Desktop)

2 · Finding a release

  1. Open the product's link above. You land on the summary: totals for Releases done and Upcoming.
  2. Click a card — Releases done (shipped versions) or Upcoming releases (planned) — to see the list.
  3. Click any row (or its Open ↗ button) to read that release's notes.
  4. Switch products anytime using the Other products links in the header.

3 · Reading a release

Each release lists its items grouped by type, with a count of each:

New a new capability · Improved an enhancement to existing behavior · Fix a resolved issue · Security a security hardening item.

Every item shows a short, plain-language description, plus:

Versions. Shipped releases show their version number (for example 5.8.21, 16.9.0, 22.1.2). You can print any release — Print → Save as PDF — for a clean copy to keep or circulate.

Known issues & breaking changes

Just under a release’s summary you may see one or both of these:

Each item is tagged New in <version> (it first appears in this release) or Pre-existing (carried over from an earlier release, not introduced here). Each release keeps its own known-issues list as a permanent record of what was known at that release.

4 · What “upcoming” means

Upcoming items are planned and subject to change. Scope and timing for anything under Upcoming are not commitments — they may move or change as work progresses. A version number appears once a release ships.
