Changing the screen resolution while running Live in full-screen mode would not reset Live’s window to the correct size and still show the window’s title bar. This is now fixed.
Fixed a crash that could occur under certain conditions when loading Live sets containing a large amount of VST plug-ins and Max for Live devices.
Fixed a crash that could occur when hovering over an automation breakpoint or segment on the first automation lane of an Arrangement track and then forcing another automation to be shown on the same lane, e.g. by tweaking a different parameter using a MIDI controller.
Max for Live devices would not pass an “All Notes Off” message to the subsequent devices in a device chain when the Max for Live device was turned off.
Max for Live MIDI effect devices would not be correctly latency-compensated when the device was turned off and the device had an additional latency defined in its patcher inspector.
The “Session Zoom” feature, which allows to move Live’s Session ring by multiple tracks / scenes at once with certain MIDI control surfaces would stop working under certain conditions.

Improvements and feature changes:

Minor improvement to ensure compatibility with Mac OS X’ Gatekeeper for the forthcoming OS X updates 10.9.5 and 10.10.
Improved the threshold for inverting text colour of clip names, chains, macros, etc., depending on the background color, for better readability.

Bugfixes:

The [live.thisdevice] Max for Live object would no longer send a bang message out its first outlet when adding/removing control surface scripts in the Live preferences.
Under certain conditions, the MIDI level indicator would not show any activity inside the routing chooser of a MIDI track.
The Send button on the APC40 MKII would not work when pressed for the first time.
The Launchpad's Mixer mode would stop working after using the Launchpad's Session Zoom feature in Live sets containing more that 8 tracks.

Changes for Push:

When using a low audio buffer size or high sample rate, Push's buttons would not be backlit after launching Live (Windows only).
When entering Scales mode on Push, the Selection and State Control buttons would not light up until one of them is pressed once.
Push's Duplicate button would not work anymore for clips, tracks and scenes if Clip workflow is selected.
