There are lots of pieces to get in place when building and releasing software. This can include production deadlines for contractual agreements with retailers and third-party included products, and lots of other things. Sometimes things have to get released with known anomalies. That's one of the realities of software development.
Many of the things fixed were not even posted as issues in the forums, so I actually commend the Cakewalk folks for obviously busting hump on getting things as cleaned up as possible, on a MASSIVE release that has all kinds of folks cheerfully reporting pleasant experiences in using it.
This has been the most aggressive maintenance release schedule I can recall seeing, and am quite pleased with it, and with the results.
