How about letting some of these fixes trickle down to us 8.5 users?

X1b addresses at least two issues that are not specific to X1, but apply to previous versions of SONAR as well: V-Vocal crashes and the Sonitus Delay memory leak.

How about sharing those fixes with those of us who aren't ready to go on the X1 adventure ride just yet?

Or will these fixes be withheld as an incentive to upgrade?
