UI improvements:
- All plugin UIs now have 10% scaling, from 70% to 200%.
- The ACE UI is now clearer and has new modulation sources.
- Diva UI was also improved for increased clarity.
- The Zebra2 "Unempty Dark Horse" skin is now complete.
- And finally, a number of small graphics issues in various plugins are fixed.
Configuration Menu: Bazille, Zebra2, Hive, Diva, ACE and Podolski now have a configuration menu (look for the cogwheel icon). This menu houses:
- MIDI learn: a visual overlay for assigning MIDI controls to the plugin interface.
- MIDI list table: editable list of assigned MIDI controls.
- Preferences: global settings for controls, appearance and audio.
Host/DAW issues:
- The "Missing UI" in Logic and Studio One is fixed.
- A number of small issues were fixed in Logic X, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, Digital Performer, ProTools, Maschine and Kore.
Everything else: These updates include a heap of general improvements: fixed hanging and dropped notes, improved MIDI timing, new FX parameters and much more.

that infamous MSEG bug is fixed (single trigger MSEG may have caused deadlock)
the Preset Manager remembers name & location of loaded patch, saved with song
the editor window opens in the state where you last closed it (doesn't/can't save with song though)
global parameters such as FX Returns are available in modulation matrix
smoother ModWheel, Breath Controller, Expression and PitchBend
speaking of PitchBend, ranges can be set to 0 now to free the Wheel for other tasks
MidiLearn now requires a conscious decision for a menu entry - preventing users from accidentally Teaching a parameter
Preset scripting was improved so that 3rd party waveform converters are fully supported (still no decent documentation for scripting though)
a bug in the reverb diffusion on SSE2 machines got wiped out - if that changes your sound, set "D-Feedb" to 0.00
the Preset Manager can now be used to create new folders and refresh the directory listing (right/ctrl-click)
.h2p is now default patch format - set to native to save patches for use within host applications (usually not necessary)
