Bugfixes
Live would freeze and crash on OS X Lion when sending MIDI
data to any MIDI port.
Under certain conditions, quantizing transient markers could
lead to overlapping warp markers, which would cause various problems when
editing the warp marker or its segment BPM value.
Under certain conditions, the "Transient"-based
Beats warp mode would play double attacks. With this bug fixed, it is possible
that some clips sound different.
Excluding a plug-in from the scan process didn't work if
Live crashed because of the first scanned plug-in, after enabling the VST
plug-in source via Live's Preferences (Mac only).
Rendering a Live Set containing an EQ3 at sample rates below
44.1 KHz would result in an audio file containing pure silence.
Fixed a crash when loading a Live 7 Set with invalid clip
color information in Live 8.
Detail view appeared empty after Hot-Swapping an unfolded
Rack, because devices were scrolled out of view.
Infinitely long clips would be created if rewinding the
global transport while making a new recording.
Track names could be incorrectly displayed when unfolding a
Live set in the Live Browser. This only happened for "automatic
names" that tracks get from the Instrument they contain. For Live Sets
saved in earlier versions, names of tracks containing Racks, Max for Live
devices or third-party plugins may still look wrong. Re-saving the Sets will
fix the problem.
Some Operator presets could sound different when loading
them, and then creating or moving a track.
The Frontier Design Tranzport was not getting updated when
switching tracks.
The green zoom button was sometimes disabled when using Live
with Mac OS X.
Resuming a clip in Session view while the track is armed but
OVR is OFF could result in the clip not playing its notes.
Toggling OVR ON and OFF doesn't create an UNDO step anymore
Certain Library content wasn't usable for Live Intro users
since version 8.2.
Enabling a clip loop via the loop switch or the Set Loop
Length button would sometimes stop the clip.
Fixed a crash which could occur when hot-swapping a certain
Drum Rack pad.
Eleven additional crashes were also fixed.
