What changed

Search now selects the existing term when you use the search shortcut. Controller changes include support for the Novation Launchkey MK4 88 and Akai MPK Mini Plus II. Ableton also documents up to 32 audio output buses for plugins, alongside fixes affecting startup, editing and audio playback.

What it means for your sessions

If your setup depends on a particular controller or multi-output instrument, those are useful entries to check. Back up an important project before updating, then reopen a familiar session and check its routing and playback. This is a release-note briefing, rather than a hands-on test.

More worth a look.
