Boy, I'm out of breath just reading that post to myself!!

I bailed after the first paragraph.

I enjoyed it, with my morning tea! Quite a change from the normal :)

Hey we got an update. Thank You. Finally Cakewalk have relented on the silence strategy.
 
All we wanted Craig. 

And with respect, I think it's time for you to relent on claiming there was a silence strategy where there are posts, with dates, that show there never was. See post #49 if you don't believe me, or don't believe the links in post #15.

to be fair, there hasn't been a proper explanation yet of what the issue actually is/was, and the workarounds came from users rather than cake... it's not like there was an ongoing open discussion...
 
ho hum
 

What was the question?

I really don't understand this type of post.

Cakewalk responded immediately the issue arose.

They then updated us that they could reproduce and were looking into it.

Then they told us that they had identified the source, and were working on it.

They came back to offer several workarounds in the meantime.

They even updated us that they were waiting to hear back from ms, with whom they were in contact.

All this on a peer to peer forum between thanksgiving and Christmas.

What more do people expect them to do? Invite them in for dev meetings in Boston?

A bit more beta testing would be a good place to start.

I cannot follow the logic here.  This was new Microsoft code, that exposed a dormant code issue in some of Cakewalk's code.  In what universe could more beta testing have identified that???

Users found it right? What makes you think beta testers would not ?
Since we have no clue how many beta testers there are or how many Sonar users are affected, it is hard to make a rational analysis in this case. I don't think that negates the statement that more testing would be beneficial.
There are issues besides the thread init thing that exist (in 2016.12 and prior releases) which suggest there is very little beta testing if any performed or the test program is inadequate.
So the answer is ...this universe.
