I recently updated to 2017-01 after 3 months without updates due to an issue with an audio driver on my system. Switching between the two versions I am blown away by the overall performance improvement. Not only is this release rock solid on both my studio and live rigs and the new features (lenses and note chase) greatly appreciated, the improvement in small yet significant things like project loading speeds is amazing. It seems the end result of just 12 weeks work is far greater than the sum of its parts!
 
Thanks bakers - great job:)

yeah, life's good, init?

These are 2 very cool improvements.
Note Chase takes a little getting used to as the notes don't velocity adjust with duration.
For example if you click on a note 3/4 through its duration, its strike is just as loud as it was at its first incarnation.
But its a feature im glad to have.
