FYI:

Regarding a maintenance update for 9.5.10:

"It should be in the first half of March but there is no exact date available yet."

This update can't come soon enough for me. The mixer history bug alone (currently set to be fixed in the aforementioned and forthcoming maintenance update) is driving me batty!

I only had my Track Archives / Disabled Track bug logged a couple of months ago, despite it being 2 years old, so I'm not surprised to see anything in this list, nor i expect in 9.5.20. I'm struggling to get motivated about anything else til that is properly addressed.
