We're very happy to announce that Xtags 8.3.2 is now officially  
released and available for download (6 & 7.3.2 as well):

   <http://emsoftware.com/products/xtags/download>.

This is a free upgrade (what were we thinking!?! ;-) if you're already  
using the latest Xtags 6 or 7. You can simply install the new version  
and keep working--you're not even prompted for a new serial number.  
(We tried to make it as painless as possible.)

Otherwise, you can upgrade at our usual great discount (62.5% off the  
full-product price):

   <http://emsoftware.com/products/xtags/buy>.

The history page <http://emsoftware.com/products/xtags/history/#QuarkXPress 
 > gives all the details, but here are some highlights of the release:

* QuarkXPress 8.x support (as well as 6.x and 7.x)

* Massive (10X) speed-up when importing unanchored boxes (almost back  
to XPress 4.x speeds! ;-)

* Box background blend support

* Rotation, skew, runaround and various flags supported in "version 2"  
anchored boxes (&tb2, &pb2, &nb2)

* Support for shrinking-to-fit text boxes horizontally as well as  
vertically, and for shrinking-to-fit multiple column text boxes

* Support for box background and frame opacity settings (7 or 8 only)

* New "none" box creation tag

* and dozens more smaller enhancements and bug fixes

Cheers!
