Have all the outstanding issues from the Sonar 2016.12 release been resolved in the 2017.01 update?

Bit vague - to which particular wishes are you alluding?
 
I can't really comment otherwise.  What I consider an issue may not be so to you.

This will tell you part of the answer, and should be helpful for someone who has identified a particular issue with the previous version. For someone who just wants to know if the latest version works as intended without problems, there is an easy answer: no. Like the famous "this too will pass," that answer will likely always be true without specifying the subject.
 
What is not easily determined is what known issues continue to be a problem in the current version. So far as I know, Cakewalk does not publish a unified bug list of reported and confirmed issues that are currently affecting SONAR. Reading back over monthly listings of issues that have been fixed does not give you that information. This missing information could prove helpful to a user who has just discovered that something does not work as he expects, who could check the known issues to rule out user or system errors quickly. Software developers may find such a catalog difficult to compile, although one would expect that it must exist in order to guide their own repair efforts. It seems more likely that they believe that publishing such an easily accessed list would deter potential buyers, although I doubt many such buyers would invest the effort to find it, and some would no doubt be reassured that it evidences an ongoing commitment to ongoing support.

I'm not sure how it's done at Cakewalk, but at a company that shall go nameless, the list of known, confirmed bugs was around 500. However, many of them were so esoteric they'll probably never be fixed because no one cares that if you hold down the Alt, Ctrl, and num pad 5 keys at the same time while attempting to open a plug-in while 32-bit YouTube is playing in a 64-bit system, a window minimizes accidentally. So...then you get into "well, which bugs are important?"
 
What would be fun is if every company had a monthly Top 10 chart with the 10 most common/noticed/annoying bugs, with status (awaiting other fix, can't reproduce reliably, expected fix date, etc.).

Thank you, slartabartfast; I thought so too. Fortunately, Sonar is no more my primary DAW.
