WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 7.0.7:
* Updated manuals
* Updated texts
* Updated lesson package
* Suppressing unnecessary question about "stop audio" on document close.
* Running the “Analyze audio” command from the context menu of the File Browser would only create .asd files if the respective Preferences option was set to “On”. Now “Analyze audio” is independent of the preferences option.
* On Mac OS X, the date in Live's File Browser would not reflect daylight savings time.
* Under certain conditions, the pad of a Drum Rack would have a “sticky” hotswap button until mousing over that pad again.
* The progress bar for consolidating could sometimes show values greater than 100%.
* When switching the MIDI input sources of a track, pitchbend values would not be reset.
* MIDI mapping the transpose parameter of an audio clip could lead to not quantized values.
* Sending of MIDI Song Position Pointer message beyond bar 1025 would lead to incorrect behavior and different behavior on Mac OS X and Windows.
* Under certain conditions, the Operator and Sampler envelopes could go out of sync. We provide a Options.txt entry called “_AdsrRepeatQuantizeTo16th” to restore the previous behavior.
* Certain Live sets originally created on Mac OS X and containing Audio Units within the chain of a Rack would crash when opening on Windows.
* The display of a Mackie Control-based surface controller would not be updated when several sections of the Simpler or Sampler instrument were switched off or on.
* The display of a Mackie Control-based surface controller would not be updated after renaming a particular device.
* The LFO sync rate parameter of the Sampler would not be available as a clip envelope.
* The time range display of the render dialog would not reflect an Arranger selection with a time signature change.
* Even if all external device tracks were frozen, rendering would still happen in real-time.
* Deleting an audio file within Live's Browser which was currently being previewed was not possible.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 7.0.5:
* Updated manuals.
* Updated texts.
* When switching the Library to a folder on a different hard drive, a message box appears asking if the current library should copied to the new location too.
* Fix: Playing the “Clavibell.adg” preset from Puremagnetic Wavebase package could lead to a crash.
* Fix: Live could crash if the root dir of a file browser is set to a non-existing directory.
* Fix: Folders below the current selected Library folder or the current project could not be bookmarked.
* Fix: The message box with the information about the installed packages would miss a scrollbar if many packages would be installed.
* Fix: In Sampler, pan would not working properly.
* Fix: Duplicate an audio track containing a clip with certain envelopes could lead crash Live.
* Fix: Grouping a top level effect device that has any of its parameters macro-mapped would crash Live.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 7.0.3:
* Updated manuals.
* Two new Lessons: “Compression and Sidechaining” and “Session Drums.”
* Added control surface support for the Akai MPD24. The volumes of tracks 1 to 6 are mapped to the faders. The encoders are mapped to macro controls. The order of the mapping is based on the feedback of this forum poll: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82431
* Support for dynamic adjustment of the plug-in buffer size for Audio Units. For technical reasons, an Audio Unit device must be instantiated for a buffer size change.
* Improvements for dialog to set up a Library when starting Live without one.
* On Mac OS X, Live now supports up to 256 input & output mono channels of the selected audio device.
* It is now possible to drag a complete folder with presets and/or samples from the Browser onto a Drum Rack's pads.
* Updated texts.
* Improve the performance when loading large presets.
* Support for the Record LED when using the Remote SL as a controller surface.
* Bug fix: Under certain conditions, the chooser for the Library path would not update properly.
* Bug fix: The message box saying that the selected Library is not available would not be displayed properly.
* Bug fix: When Live is running as the MIDI clock master, the first two sent MIDI clock messages could have the same time stamp. An Options.txt entry called '-_Live6ClockOutputCompatibility' brings back the old behavior if required.
* Bug fix: Analog instrument with unison enabled would always use CPU power even if it was not used.
* Bug fix: Dropping an instrument on a pad or chain that has devices would not replace the chain.
* Bug fix: Quitting Live because the expiration date was reached would lead to a crash on Mac OS X 10.5.x.
* Bug fix: Deleting a track with a Rack in Mappping mode would crash Live.
* Bug fix: Switching Sampler or Simpler presets during playback could lead to a short but heavy audio signal distortion.
* Bug fix: When using more than 8 return tracks, the return track volume mixing would not work properly.
* Bug fix: Under certain conditions, a song loop back jump could lead to a hard disk overload.
* Bug fix: Starting up Live with a corrupt header template document would lead to a crash.
* Bug fix: When using particular audio files, Live could crash for certain warp actions.
* Bug fix: In the inline mixer, resizing a chain would resize all other chains too.
* Bug fix: When scrubbing behind the loop within a clip, looping would not work properly after the next song start / stop.
* Bug fix: On Windows, when loading a Rack that contains an AudioUnit (which is disabled on PC), Live would crash when opening or closing Rack chains, or when turning one of the other rack marbles on or off.
* Bug fix: Installing a content package update could result in an imprecise success message.
* Bug fix: In ReWire slave mode, sending MIDI data from the master to more than one target within Live could result in audio drop-outs.
* Bug fix: Freezing of Drum Racks with chain-out routings to the top level would not work properly.
* Bug fix: Changing the “Block” value in the Spectrum device would cause audio drop-outs.
* Bug fix: In ReWire slave mode, clips would play from the beginning after rewinding.
* Bug fix: Under certain conditions, the MIDI handling of VSTs could not work properly.
* Bug fix: Undoing the creation of a time signature change would crash Live.
* Bug fix: When installing several packages at once, if one contained a file that already existed and was modified locally, the question whether to replace this file was asked for each pack even when the user answered 'yes to all'.
* Bug fix: Under certain conditions, a progress bar could display a value greater than 100%.
* Bug fix: Under certain conditions, default content would not be installed when a certain version of Live would run for the first time.

WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 7.0.2:
* Enhanced Audio Engine - Live 7's enhanced audio engine improves fidelity with precision 64-bit summing at all mix points throughout the program, POW-r dithering, optimized sample-rate conversion and other advances.
* New Compressor - The new compressor device integrates the compression models of Compressor I and II, and offers a new model based on a feedback design commonly found in the most praised vintage compressors.
* Sidechaining - Fully integrated side-chaining capability is available for the new Compressor as well as Gate and Auto Filter.
* Device High-Quality Modes - Operator, Dynamic Tube and Saturator now feature optional High-Quality modes for anti-aliased processing, reducing typical "digital" artifacts.
* EQ Eight—New and Improved - EQ Eight sports an improved user interface and a new 64-bit mode for increased accuracy and fidelity.
* Introducing Spectrum - The new Spectrum device is an analyzer that provides real-time visual feedback for any audio signals within Live (and it looks really cool!).
* Improved MIDI Timing - The MIDI engine has been reworked, and we were able to significantly reduce timing error (jitter) of recorded MIDI.
* Easy Hardware Integration - Hardware integration has been streamlined with the addition of two new devices—External Instrument and External Audio Effect—allowing hardware synthesizers and effects to be inserted into device chains just like software plug-ins.
* Enhanced Memory Management - New memory management technology allows users of large sample libraries, such as Ableton's new sampled instruments or third-party libraries imported via Sampler, to run an impressive number of instruments at the same time. This happens automatically, with no setup changes required.
* Audio Engine Fact Sheet - The Audio Engine Fact Sheet explains exactly how signals are (or are not) being modified when performing fundamental audio operations in Live, and provides tips for achieving the highest quality results.
* MIDI Engine Fact Sheet - The MIDI Engine Fact Sheet documents MIDI timing tests on both Windows and Mac platforms using various MIDI interfaces, and describes exactly what users can expect in terms of MIDI timing accuracy.
