Xara LX Xtreme 0.7-Revision1692

Xara Xtreme is the worlds fastest and, we believe, most versatile graphics software. Xara LX Xtreme program is primarily a vector graphics program, but is one of the new generation of cross-over products that handles photos and drawings with equal ease. Xara Xtreme is also renowned for its slick, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn approach.
Xara Xtreme remains the most powerful (in terms of performance) and the most productive product available - these are objective measures and not just marketing spiel. Xara pioneered many of the graphic technologies that have become industry standard, from the first vector anti-aliasing, to the first vector transparency, including graduated transparency. The latest versions continue to innovate with dozens of industry firsts such as real-time vector feathering, embedded JPEG, the worlds most efficient file storage, and unrivalled performance.
Linux needs a top-tier commercial-standard graphics program. The Linux desktop has come on leaps and bounds in the last year or so but it still lacks any vector or general purpose graphics program to genuinely compete with Windows and Mac commercial products. And although desktop Linux is evolving at a rapid rate, the platform is behind in the graphics market. We intend to change that.
Xara X has been a commercial shipping Windows product for 10 years (and non-Windows versions go back even further). Its a modern, object orientated design thats highly stable, and has gained hundreds of thousands of users. Our users and customers have produced artwork thats more than a match for artwork created with any other vector graphics program.
Xara Xtreme on Linux will not only bring a leading-edge graphic tool to the platform, but with community assistance, has the potential to become the worlds most powerful, easiest-to-use and simply the worlds best graphics program. If we get it right this could bring the Linux desktop into whole sectors of the market that is has not been able to address before.
