This is good news. I use all three plug-ins a lot.

Yes sir I did and it is welcome news !!
 

I find that rather hard to believe, seeing as there hasn't been an October release yet, and as the post up above about the 'sneak preview' of the 'NEXT' update says, and the linked eZine says, that these fixes are coming in that still 'FUTURE' update.
 
LOL, oh I see, my eyes were reading faster than my brain was processing, I thought we were speaking of already experiencing these fixes and updates, lol, don't mind me, carry on,

I wonder if they also fixed the link button issue for stereo delay in channel tools (it's not particularly mentioned in the eZine)

wonderful!

And a fix for the Staff View too.

You mean no more loud pop sound that can hurt my speakers when inserting Channel tools? No more having to save, close and open the project and hope it doesn't do it again while working in the project? That's GREAT!!!
Fingers crossed.

Yeah good news. Channel Tools has randomly caused some bizarre 'happenings' in my projects. From the loud pop sound when inserted as described above, to having the master buss go silent when inserted. Definitely some odd behaviors, and I know quite a few users have reported more oddities. I do love the plug however, so lets hope she's rock solid now!
