Version 3.0 is finally final. The feature list was described in earlier beta posts and on the web site. There’s also a new user guide and a set of sample library pages available for download, as well as an update to the gallery.
The main goal of this version is to allow better reuse and sharing of graphic elements. That’s what the sample library is there to illustrate. I’m interested in expanding this with user submissions that are more than a large collection of useless artwork you sometimes see passed off as clipart. Hopefully this will grow over time as you the users submit new things to be shared.
Wow! Nick this is awesome. I’m sorry for being such a pain in the ****
over the last year or so. This is really great news!

I downloaded 3.0, ran it, then got the “you have a bundled version” upgrade notice. Went through the within-Intaglio upgrade process, it concluded with text similar to this “the upgrade seems to have failed, check your email for a status message from Kagi” This Kagi email had a new reg code, I put my copy of Intaglio into demo mode, entered the code, and all seems well.

I assume that upgrading to 3.0 is free but, in my experience, major
upgrades come with a fee—which by the way, I would personally be
quite ready to pay—that is usually warranted. From this viewpoint,
Intaglio begins to look more and more like freeware or at least
shareware.
Of course, I should not even appear to be trying to tell you how to
run your business and I do like freeware/open source a lot (even
though I couldn’t do anything with the source of the stuff I am
mostly using, i.e. LaTeX via TeXShop, even if my life depended on it.)
Is it possible to install 3.0 while keeping the former version?
Yes, I’ve been doing that all the time during 3.0 development. The only problem I noticed was that new toolbar items (e.g., the arrow menu) would be removed after running an older version that didn’t know about them.

The upgrade process uses a new (at least to Intaglio) capability to complete the transaction from within the software (no need to visit a web site) or copy a serial number manually. This seems to work but it’s sort of an experiment. I’m troubled to hear there was a problem but at least it worked out eventually.
