• Fix some cases of VST3 non-automated state and presets not loading
  
• Fix plugin GUI window positioning when using fullscreen detached mixer window

Thanks Ben and all at Harrison, Plugin Alliance presets working fine now in VST3 and great news about Big Sur.

Wow that was fast. Well done!

Thanks for the quick update. Much work has been done and there is still much to be done.
Part of the problem with the mixer was fixed, but there were still some bugs. The first plug-in insertion and opening also makes the mixer disappear. Re-interacting with the plugin already works fine. Also, if a channel connection is required, the mixer will disappear. I hope this bug will get better with time

There are still problems with the GUI of some plug-ins VST3, I think that it is also related somehow to the same mess with the mixer. There is access to the parameters, but it is not visually displayed.

Another strange behavior, it looks like one output channel is not working properly, the vst3 plugin cannot pan properly. VST2 does it as it should. and VST3 in other DAW works flawlessly.

the extra background on the edge of the plug-in is not removed in any way.

When "updating" do I simply download the new version? I started to do that but when I got to the part where it asks if I want to uninstall the old version it panicked. Not sure how to proceed.

Will my license automatically be switched over to the newer one? And will my sessions be preserved?

You can elect to maintain the older version of v6 if you want. If you have a v6 license then it will apply to all v6+ releases.

Thanks Dingo,

And the sessions? Will they remain intact?

[PLEASE_DELETE]

Is there a plan to notify users of this update via an email announcement?

Within a major release there (should) be no problem...

I did a number of tests creating sessions in 6.1.22 and then opening with v6.2.70.
Everything came across for me. I was using a combo of Harrison, Fab Filter and Waves Plugs.
There was an issue in v6.2.0 which related to presets not appearing, that was addressed in the latest release.
