X2 bug fixes
A couple people have posted asking whether or not specific bug fixes are included in X2. I have
a few I'm interested in as well. I'd like a moderator to post a sticky with the complete list of
problem report numbers that are addressed in X2. I'm looking for actual report numbers, not
simple statements like "we fixed several issues related to the metronome". I'd rather not waste
time checking out a demo to confirm things for myself. Thanks in advance.

Typically software is released with notes. That's when we'll all be able to read about the fixes.

ok - let me explain the problem in more detail. I already have 4 jobs. So I'm a little busy. I make sure
my people are really busy. Loading and checking a demo just to make sure the people at Cakewalk
are doing their jobs, is NOT one of my jobs. Second, the notes they release are typically in bullet list
form and have nebulous statements like, fixed problems with the metronome, or corrected issues
with midi transmission. I need to know if they're saying 5448 is fixed, and 5762, and so forth. Get the idea?

Well it's really no use posting here as this site isn't actively moderated like many other forums - it's strictly peer-to-peer

I need to know if they're saying 5448 is fixed, and 5762, and so forth. Get the idea? I've purchased/used a lot of different software over the past 20 years. All software releases I've seen have "bullet-lists" with short (somewhat vague) descriptions of changes/fixes. You'll also find this with hardware/firmware updates. While I'm sure issues 5448 and 5762 are important to you... many folks wouldn't have a clue what those case numbers represent. Thus, I doubt you'll see that type of list posted here... I'd take the advice above and contact Cakewalk support. FWIW, On a peer-to-peer forum, starting out with a "sour" attitude will usually elicit sarcastic responses. My guess is that virtually everyone here would consider themselves somewhat busy.

It's a good idea but sometimes bugs are compound so a single fix may cover several case numbers.
I'd add more but I don't have time.

Safe to say I think some stuff will get fixed and some won't, and some new issues will appear.

Good luck getting the kind of report you're after. This request sounds like board room material so you know how that's gonna go over.

The Bouy seems to have it nailed.

When I get my next job I'm going to ask if someone can do it for me because I can't waste the time. I don't think that's the OP's job. I think Cakewalk should be posting a list of what flaws were fixed. Surely they MUST be tracking that kind of information so why can't they share it with the paying customers?

The could share it, they choose not to. By just publishing the tracking IDs and whether they are fixed in X2 (as the OP requests) might be of little value for most here. To publish the entire detailed bug list or the portion of the bug list addressed by X2 might be more that the company wants to disclose. As a paying customer you are not privy to a company's internal processes. It would be interesting though.

They Have said via webinar and/or forum that the Fastbouncing issues with timecode/tempo based plugins has (supposedly) been fixed, as well as the midi FX bug of a FATAL crash associated with deleting clip with Any midi FX inserted in clip, as well as dragging midi fx to/from clips/bins. my 2 sticky pennies...

you are not privy to a company's internal processes. I agree we don't need the numbers or the internal spreadsheets, but I think they should post a list of the fixes, at least the major ones. They publish the known issues in the ReadMe. Why not the known fixes?

It can actually be more difficult (time consuming) than you might think to publish a list. I don't know the Baker's system, but assuming that all bugs go into the same bucket, they would first have to separate out those that are reported internally (and which the user base may never see) from those reported by end users. And depending on how thr fixes were incorporated, some bugs may reference other bugs, be duplicates, etc, etc.
I've worked for a large software company for almost 15 years and we've had the same exact request. Just by chance I recently did just that for a special case, and it took me a few days to get that list together. And this was for a minor patch. After doing that I wouldn't want to touch a major release.

The README does contain fix information in addition to the known issues that they are willing to divulge (at least the last one in my X1 directory does). I am not sure if there is a consensus of what would be the "major ones." So it quickly becomes and all or nothing proposition. Could be interesting stuff though. Then again just because a vendor claims an issue is fixed, is it?
