BEWARE! Before you'll proceed with installation; you need to remember this is still a Release Candidate; meaning it has passed all the beta tests, but we do not recommend yet using it in production environment.
So if you are up to installing, but still finalizing some critical projects, we do recommend to hold on until final release rolls out.

The D16 effects (Toraverb, Redopter, Devastor and Decimort) have been updated to version 1.4. Minor bugfixes, most of which you won't care about if you don't use a Mac and record at 44.1KHz. I'll probably only download the Toraverb update. Says there are minor "look and feel" changes, but the UI is still just as tiny as before.

Hmm...I downloaded the file but the installer is still version 1.3. 
 
 

I'm a bit confused on why D16 even released this update........if there's a big warning sign (Beware) they "don't yet recommend using it in a production environment", and there's no real benefit for PC users, why release it??? Looks like they're just needing some guinea pigs for testing?  

Thanks Bit......as much as I like and use the Silverline plugs regularly, I too will sit out on this update....considering I've never run into any issues in the past and no real improvement here.
