content: I noticed this yesterday and wondered if it was a typo, obviously not..https://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-83383/l/terms-and-conditions-for-altium-circuitstudio-v13-design-competitionMy trial on 1.2 would crash form time to time, perhaps this will have some bug fixes too. Although running it up it doesn't offer an update for me either.

content: I just installed on my notebook from the website and got 1.2 so they have not released it.The documentation is also ALL over the place with many doc's sent in the "review" garbage bin. So I guess they are overhauling the Doc's website at the moment.But still sweating and working hard on getting used to Altiumbut apart from a few crashes during my 1 month test - the last 2 weeks I have not had any crashes..

content: Looks like the only substantial performance upgrade, this time around, is expanded design rules and IPC-2581 output (although I've never used/needed IPC-2581 reports).I was hoping for an embedded Gerber editor like Camtastic, and "Find Similar Objects" like Altium.Added file importation from Circuit Maker and Eagle will be good for those users, and likely expand the user base, which will likely lead to further advances in performance and features.Circuit Studio is still a bargain, particularly with the new pricing schedule.

content: I still find it moronic I can't import "later" than v5/v6 Altium PCB files... Lots of examples and manuf. files are available in Altium format - but nobody saves in v5/v6 format any longer.So then I need do download schematic & pcb in Eagle or other format and HOPE it works (it usually does not work very well i find - lots of lost bindings etc.
