v1.2.8 is now out. Note that the cost of the upgrade to Aurora HDR 2017 may be less than $99 depending upon when you purchased an earlier version. Use the site's interface to check on their offered price for your version.

Just a heads up. The new 2017 version will not open the previous version's mpau files. If you want to make additional edits to the previous version's file, you will need to keep the previous version on your computer. Otherwise you will only be able to edit whatever files that the previous version exported, or start over and recreate them in the new version. If Macphun intends to update Aurora HDR every year, which I can only assume they will, this might be a concern down the road in a few years.

Is the update good for the version that MacUpdate sold with the recent bundle?

I always thought that HDR software is something complicated to work with and doesn`t worth money and time at all, but after I purchased Aurora HDR Pro I totally changed my mind! Easy to use tools, variety of presets, smooth interface, and as a result - gorgeous high quality pictures! Will keep exploring it and can`t wait to try out all of the features! I`m completely satisfied with the product and strongly recommend it to others.
