  • Monthly Platinum Updates -- Shouldn't We Already Have had the "O" One?

Just curious -- My recollection is that the "A" release occurred in January 2015 and the "L" came out either late November or early December (as December's release), matching the 12 months of 2015 with the first 12 letters of the alphabet.  If that's correct, "N" would be February's release and "O" for March (as we near the end of the month), so did I miss something?    Or did "A" (whatever that release was named) come out in February of last year, after NAMM?  Thanks,

Historically there has been a release a month, however; Cakewalk never committed to monthly updates. That said the month is not over.

They've been pretty consistent thus far, usually sometime in the last week of the month, it seems to me inching a bit closer to the end of the month of late but that might not be correct, just my vague impression. I have however been wondering if the 'early release' would drop any day now for those of us that like to live dangerously and update quick like easter bunnies...

I was thinking this as well, but I seem to recall a number of instances last year where the release for a given month actually occurred during the last week of the preceding month.
 
As for the comment by "scook" about no guarantee of monthly releases, I thought there was an entire discussion about this but I couldn't find it.  I note that the payment choices are $149 up front of $14.99 per month, and one can reasonably expect there is a benefit to paying the entire amount of front (which equates to 10 monthly payments) -- so at least 11 releases but I could have sworn that somewhere CW seemed to indicate it would be monthly.
 
In any event let's see what happens next.

I think the "A" update came with the original download.

No sight of "The Big O" release yet... anticipation is crucial with this one... (and still some debate on if web cams should be used with user statistics).

The A release was the Alliston release

There was never a month with two releases. There has been one release per month - Alston in January, Braintree in February, Cambridge in March, etc. There were some releases when a hotfix occurred, after a particular "named" release and independent of it.
