So far I've only installed it on my laptop.
 
I've now rolled back to the October release
 
Symptoms last night:
 
  • Plugin Manager stalling during a Rescan (Yes I did a reset). Always seem to stall on either Rapture Pro, Rapture Session or Z3TA+2
  • Failure to find existing plugins, even when on the rare occasions that the rescan "finished"
  • Crashing when loading any 32 bit plugin (I get the "Sonarplt.exe has stopped" working message)
 
Rolling back has cured every problem.
I'm so glad I always install updates on this laptop which is purely for testing purposes
I might wipe SONAR entirely from it and do a clean install later on

Lifetime updates or Lifetime of Hell?? just kidding.... 
I always wait and watch the forum... I'm seeing negatives like yours for this one,,,so I wait it out until next round. So far I do about every 3rd update.

Same here Jonesey - multiple problems. I always take a disc image before installing updates so I have rolled back to 2016 -09 (skipped 10 as it was a bit light on) and am happily working away gain.  Hopefully the next update will iron some things out. I guess the beauty of the system is that you CAN always roll back to what works for you.

Same here. Watching and waiting for stable versions only.

This is awful to hear. I am so sorry that two of the finest members are having problems with Sonar. I wish I could clear it up for you both. I am not seeing any problems here.

Dumb question: Are the updates cumulative? If so, do you inherit the bugs from the last update with the next one?

Glad to hear you had a trouble free update John. These hiccups are rare and just the nature of the beast with so many PC configurations out there - and a pretty substantial update this month! A little time and all will be well I'm sure:)

Haha - thats a pretty loaded question soens!:) Updates are indeed cumulative.

Yes John this update has caused more problems than anything I've seen since the dark days of X1a/b.
 
They all seem to be related to the Plugin Manager so I just hope the Bakers have enough information to work out what went wrong and issue a fix.
