Where to find official CbB update information?

I saw a post on Facebook that CbB has it's first update.
I was able to download and install it with no problem.  However, I have yet to find what is in the update.  Where do we go to get official CbB information?   I didn't see a thread in this forum, and I've yet to find anything useful on the BandLab website.
I know it's got to be somewhere, I'm just not finding it.  Thanks!

    Apply settings from a track template to an existing track
    Dark Piano Roll view with Tungsten theme
     

    New Cakewalk Features

    Apply settings from a track template to an existing track

    You can apply settings from a track template to an existing track, without affecting the existing track’s clip data or track automation. To do so, right-click in the Tracks pane and select Replace From Track Template > [track template name] or select More Track Templates on the context menu.

    Dark Piano Roll view with Tungsten theme

    The Tungsten theme uses a dark UI that was designed to prevent eye fatigue during long sessions. To match the Tungsten color scheme, the Piano Roll view now has a dark background, with fully customizable colors.

    Multi-Language support

    Full contextual help is also available from within the application by pressing F1.Cakewalk is now translated into the following languages:English, German, French, Spanish,  Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Russian.
     The new Cakewalk online help can be found here. Also check out the new features in this version. Online help is available in English, with German and French coming soon for this version.

    Theme Editor

    The Cakewalk Theme Editor is back in this release allowing you to create, edit and fully customize themes for Cakewalk. This is new version is exclusively for use with Cakewalk by BandLab and won't replace the older SONAR Theme Editor.
     
    What’s new:
    • Support for editing the new themed Piano Roll view
    • Setup wizard auto populates the Cakewalk install folder removing requirement to browse for the exe file
    • Fixed string formatting issues
    • Added 5 new themeable colors for use with the Piano Roll view and Control Bar Performance module.

    Lens Manager usability update

    The Cakewalk Lens Manager dialog now has an apply button to allow you to make changes while the dialog is still open.

    Drum Replacer

    Cakewalk's powerful ARA based drum replacement tool is now in Cakewalk by BandLab. Choose from a library of replacement hits to strengthen your drum grooves. If you already have this installed from a previous SONAR product you won’t need to install this. 

    Studio Instruments

    This add on includes Cakewalk’s popular Studio instruments including Electric Piano, SI-Bass Guitar, SI-Drum Kit and SI-String Section. This add-on also includes 4 Cakewalk demo projects. If you already have this installed from a previous SONAR product you won’t need to install this. 

    Melodyne 4 Studio Trial

    A 30-day trial of Celemony’s award winning Melodyne 4 Studio is included free as part of Cakewalk. This will allow you to explore all the functions of Melodyne 4 studio – free of charge and without obligation, but exactly as if you'd purchased it – for a period of 30 days.Melodyne fully integrates with Cakewalk via ARA and can be applied as a region effect on clips. If you already own Melodyne this installer it will update it to the latest version but won’t change your current Melodyne license. 

    POW-r dithering available again

    We’ve added support for this back into the dither options

    Bug Fixes and Enhancements

    We’ve been busy making fixes and stability enhancements to Cakewalk for this release:
    • Improved WASAPI devices compatibility and fixed bugs in WASAPI mode. Most onboard audio devices including multi-channel audio devices are now supported in WASAPI shared mode.
    • Updates to code for compatibility with the latest Windows SDK
    • Many improvements and fixes to BandLab Assistant
    • Updated Audio Metronome to resolve a problem with the metronome not working on some systems after install
    • Changing Audio/MIDI settings from the onboarding dialog could cause a crash if the app was playing
    • If migration is chosen the VST inventory will be migrated from earlier versions of SONAR avoiding lengthy scan times on first run.
    • Plugin menu layouts from past versions are now migrated on installation of Cakewalk if chosen
    • Removed some confusing error messages referencing command center and strings referencing SONAR
    • Removed dependency on language from Command Center
    • Creating a Track from a track template was not working from selected track
    • Replace Track from Template could cause unexpected results for unsupported track template types
    • Replacing Multiple Tracks from Template could cause unexpected results
    • Replace Track From Template could not be done from the browser
    • Double-click track templates in browser did not insert the template
    • Themable Piano Roll view does not respond to custom color changes
    • Control Bar Performance module meter colors are not customizable/themeable.
    • Clean audio folder would crash Cakewalk when it encountered paths > 260 chars. This operation has also been optimized to run faster by skipping scanning system and program folders.
    • Lens Manager dialog usability improvements. Added Apply button.

     
    Das it...

    Win-7 Professionalx64.  CWBL, SONAR X3e, & most other previous versions.  TASCAM US-1800 audio interface.  A bunch of outboard stuff that never gets used anymore (ADAT boat anchors, smoooth LA4 comps (miss them!), etc.)  Way too many instruments.
