How is Cake going to Market Sonar rolling forward?

Just curious really as one advantage of having an annual major upgrade is that it is a significant amount of change enough to be able to crank the PR engine and mag reviews etc once a year at least.
 
With Sonar now becoming a constantly evolving entity of code, each minor improvement or upgrade seems less PR worthy in its own right than a major upgrade.  Will there still be some sort of versioning etc?

    Hopefully, through word of mouth of thousands of satisfied users who no longer experience constant freezes, spontaneous ProChannel dropouts or unexpected effect tails from a previous playback on their audio exports.

    Actually there will be more news cycles and press as we are updating way more frequently. These are going to be much more than little featurettes. So I think it's going be better and we will be in the news more than once a year.

    • Constant freezes: There's a conflict somewhere.
    • Spontaneous ProChannel dropouts: There have been two significant ProChannel issues. One was common and fixed in X3e. The other was intermittent. I tested a fix for that in X3 that solved it, and since I'm not experiencing it in Platinum. I assume it was included.
    • Effects tails: Buffers gotta empty. This has been discussed before but I can't remember what the solution was, I always just wait until everything's flushed before exporting. It may have had something to do with enabling or disabling "Always Stream Audio Through FX." Maybe someone here remembers the thread, like scook...apparently he is capable of remembering every thread in this forum since the dawn of time.
     
    Also, somewhat OT but relating to a previous post of yours, I have a neighbor who works with MF, and he doesn't know anything about MF selling Cubase 8 for $400 at the present time. He said that as far as he knew, the web page statement about people having to buy the 7.5 box and then upgrade was still the way it works, and he thinks it's the same for GC. He was wondering if you knew anyone who went into GC into bought a boxed Cubase 8 for $400 because if so, something shady might be going on.

    Just FYI, I talked with one reviewer about this who doesn't do print, only online. He thought it would be cool to have a recurring, short column about the changes. Said it would be much easier than writing some huge review every year and wondering what he left out in terms of cool features and what bugs he missed because he didn't have enough time to exercise the program.
