Once I had installed this earlier and went to work on my most recent project when I saw those I very nearly wondered if I had open the wrong version.

Like wise something I have wanted back since the introduction of the Skylight interface again Thank you to the CbB dev crew.

Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk]a new sandbox mode for more stable VST scanning

wahey!

Yes the 2 new options in the vst scan settings are not bad.

but do they help?

They are helpful if you suffer from scanning problems to be sure.

hummmm-_-!!  why change the controller drawing behavior?
 
"In previous versions of Cakewalk, the default Smart tool  behavior was to always allow moving/resizing of individual data points when the mouse hovered over them, which made it impossible to draw new data without switching to the Draw tool ."
 
actually there's a way to draw in smart tool.that is press ctrl+alt.and you are free to draw.
now I have to switch to another tool to move the data points.
In old version.eveything can be done in smart tool.

is it just for the scanning or also "in action"? because if they can stop a crashing vst crashing the host...
