No known issues with the metronome and no changes in that area.
In fact all the tempo drag video's were made with the metronome on. Try it in a different or new project to verify.

Anyone else lose their metronome after the update? Mine is dead, nothing on record or playback. Everything is set up and correctly routed. It quit after I created a tempo map using the new drag to timeline feature. A shut down and restart did not help.

Yep - happened here too, though not while tempo mapping. Try enabling/disabling the fx bypass button in the mix module. Fixed it for me:)

Although I scrupulously avoided the Early Access channel (because life is too short to update that frequently) I see that CC reports my current version as Early Access 2016.03 (22.3.0.71). I presume that is "by design".

Yup, me too. I had to import a cowbell loop as a workaround. You just need more cowbell loops!

It appears so. It would be nice if CCC updated the listing to 2016.03, plain and simple.  As for the metronome/cowbell issue, I'll have to check next time I'm on the DAW.

If you go to Command Center > Settings and click Check Now, it should clean up the "Early Access" part of the label for you.

Slowest ever download for a Sonar update. Cakewalk servers getting hit? Downloaded some new music I purchased from Bandcamp and an entire UVI Falcon update/install 1.1.1, both at 3 MBps, each taking about 3 minutes or so... all while the current Sonar has been downloading for about 30 minutes now, and is at 64%.

What's the verdict so far on the update ? Are people digging it ?

i did not have any problem with the metronom in 2016.03, but tenfoot posted a way to reactivate it in case it happens (Try enabling/disabling fx bypass button in mix module)

Is there any visual difference in this update from 2016.01 ?
I updated yesterday thought there will be different screen!
