Quark Software Inc. released today the October Update for QuarkXPress 2016. With the new update, QuarkXPress 2016 now officially supports the new OS version 10.12 (Sierra), released by Apple on September 20th. In addition to supporting macOS Sierra, the new update to QuarkXPress addresses additional known issues.
The update is for both Mac and Windows versions of QuarkXPress 2016 and free for all current QuarkXPress 2016 users. It can be downloaded using the built-in Auto Updater in QuarkXPress or downloaded here: http://www.quark.com/Support/Downloads/.
QuarkXPress 2015 will also run on the macOS Sierra and users will have access to customer support. Users should check for known issues on Sierra before using QuarkXPress 2015 on Sierra.
Attention QuarkXPress Users on Versions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
Please note that due to the extensive changes in the OS X 10.1x releases, Quark does not provide support for versions of QuarkXPress prior to QuarkXPress 2015. QuarkXPress 3-10 users who plan to migrate to El Capitan or Sierra should upgrade to QuarkXPress 2016 prior to migrating their OS X.

MacDailyNews Take: For Quark’s Mac users. All three of them.
Quark got what Quark deserved.
Ignoring – or worse, dissing – the Mac, especially when you’re a maker of publishing software, no less, is suicide.
We are Mac users. We never forget and – call us crazy – when all is said and done, we will be the last ones standing. Take that to the bank. — MacDailyNews, January 22, 2014

Quark Xpress?! Can I use it on my Zune?
I agree Quark effed up when they dissed the Mac. On the other hand, Adobe InDesign (revamped Pagemaker) is now a subscription services only so eff them too. Not paying Adobe perpetually. I rather buy Quark than do that.
Some grudges aren’t worth it.
Quark not so much.
Samsung & Google betraying and ripping off a sick and dying man, stressing him out in the last months of his life….
Absolutely.
What’s Adobe or Autodesk doing these days…….
Long live Quark 3.34
I kinda miss my old Quark days.
Quark still exists?!?
I got QuarkXPress 6.5 on my Snow Leopard machine.
Too bad Apple was too lazy to maintain Rosetta.
What’s a “Quark Express”?
I think I still have 3.32 on my drive somewhere.
What, Quark still exists? How is Lotus Notes working with the update?
I was an avid Quark user until they refused to update for OS X. I jumped to InDesign, which was not completely “smooth” at the time, and never regretted the change.
The Adobe subscription package is the best quality/value out there. Amazing software, rock-solid, and as professional as you can get, for only $50/month. I used to spend more than that, annually, on Adobe upgrades.
If you hate Adobe products, I suspect you don’t use Adobe products.
The same with Adobe Creative Cloud; for only $10 a month I have Photoshop and Lightroom with upgrades, and I consider that a real bargain. Sometimes people here get carried away with the hate.
I have to agree. The Creative Suite was never a cheap update, and you only got a 5 or 6 applications with it. $50/mo is not inexpensive, but Creative Cloud provides almost all Adobe applications for the one price and you can run two seats for that, which helps. It’s actually a good value for me, who heavily uses Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Bridge, Lightroom, and many of the other apps more lightly.
I agree. Adobe Creative Cloud is a very good value if you use more than 3 of it’s applications on a daily bases.
79 euros for an education license. I will go for it.
Remembering the days when we had one copy of Quark on a Zip Disk shared between 15 PowerMac G3 towers…
Quark, Adobe, and Autodesk have by and large sucked the last 15 years.
