As the release of QuarkXPress 10 approaches, XTensions developers are faced with the task of updating their software to support the new version. With so many customers already taking advantage of the Buy 9 Get 10 Free program and the QuarkXPress 10 Pre-Order program, there is a large market for XTensions developers to serve.

Currently, there are a significant number of developers actively participating in the QuarkAlliance program. While it would be ideal for all XTensions to be updated to support version 10, XTensions are developed by independent third-party software developers who make their own decisions on timing and priorities.

Quark does not guarantee which, if any, third-party XTensions developers will support version 10, so customers requiring specific XTensions to be updated should reach out to those companies directly. The scope of work involved for an XTensions developer varies widely depending on the specific software and whether QuarkXPress is being migrated from Carbon to Cocoa.

The history of QuarkXPress has shown that third-party XTensions developers have played a crucial role in extending the software's capabilities, particularly in specialist areas. Many XTExtensions also use QuarkXPress technology to integrate with their own software solutions. To gain a head start on porting their XTensions to version 10, all active XTExtensions developers were able to participate in the QuarkXPress 10 pre-release program.

We encourage you to take the survey and ask others you know to do the same to help shape the future of QuarkXPress XTensions.
