Well.....I guess countdown will soon start for the March release. If we start counting 10 days down they (CW) will make it in time...
or will they drop the pre-release on 28.03 and then slip the actual release a week later in April?

Sorry: being cynical. I love Sonar but I'm generally not in favor of monthly releases, and as there are so many threads and opinions about it being great I just can't help but wonder why the releases (always) come towards the end of the month. Sure releases are always approx. a month apart.... I'm just imagining my boss saying that when I tell him my paycheck is overdue. To me it just seems strange to have such a 'tight' schedule and at the same time be very 'loose' about it.
I guess that's why they chose names instead of month-nrs for the releases. Looking forward nonetheless!

It takes me a while to put the eZine together 

Lol.....yeah can understand that. You most likely have been working with the March (beta) release since January, but with all the posting and advice-giving here on the Forum the e-zine just won't get finished. Oh well.... how about an early-access-ezine. 😄

And have everyone moan, complain about and criticize the new features/fixes that they haven't tried yet???

..but the colorscheme of the new TH3 really is gross don't you think?

Just what I come here to read!  More posterbations!  Call me cynical too... it's all about "me" 
Bake away, bakers... I'll always await the opportunity for more taste testing!

I will be very anxious for the monthly releases until we get the revised mastering plugs and the skins feature. Those are the 2 items that I really need. Improved help, and feedback portals, meh. We have the forums for that. Since they have announced a Spring release then we have to wait until June 21st to see.

It can't be finished until it's ALL finished. Doesn't matter when most of it is done if there's one element that hasn't been completed. The "supplementary" articles on tips, Anatomy of a SONAR Project, etc. are done well in advance of the publication date.

Unfortunately, the only thing mentioned as an add for 2016 so far that I'm looking forward to is the feedback/voting feature. Hopefully that will help the bakers get a clearer idea what the users want the most that could be enhanced. Last year I thought the bakers were spot on and delivered cool adds month after month. This year, so far anyway, haven't seen a single new thing that actually interests me personally.

That's why I'm eager for the feature request voting. Our feature requests from the forum aren't really bubbling through that much yet.

But, not wanting to come across as too critical, I'm still so satisfied by the adds from 2015 updates that I'm happily waiting for the next cool add to come along in these monthly updates. Just don't see anything as mentioned by the bakers for the spring stuff that has anything that perks my interest.

Well, there's something they haven't announced for the March release but I'm pretty sure it will perk your interest...and if not yours, it's certainly something a lot of people have wanted. I've been experimenting with it and it's quite cool. I'm sure that as soon as the release hits, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about  
 
But also remember that they're not going to pre-announce anything that might hurt their competitive position, especially if it's several months out.
