Generally speaking, Ableton has seen quite the turmoil in recent months with over 20 percent of staff been let go soon after Superbooth. Who knows which departments were hit hardest?
From the looks of it, their main manual guy, Dennis DeSantis, is still at Ableton. As spotty as Live 12's manual may be, I still think it is one of the most well-written manuals in all of music software. But that makes these omissions even more glaring. Let's hope they'll catch up soon, which I'm sure they will.
The only thing that's really bugging me these days, that they introduced with one of the last 12.0 updates is that annoying loading time in the browser to display third-party plugins. That persists in 12.1. It seems like the browser is re-scanning VSTs' metadata every time it loads instead of saving it somewhere. Oh and to add to that, the auto-tagging feature for plugins at this stage still does not recognize a lot of plugins. Not sure of these are missing metadata or if the browser isn't scanning properly, though.
