Is there a place with Live 5 changes are summarized?

The usual apologies if this has been gone over many times--if so please just kindly point me there.

I keep bumping my nose on things in 5 that don't work like they did in 4. I'm not referring to new features, of course, just things in the gui or viewing that work differently. Some I can figure out without too much trouble (like how to audition in the MIDI clip view) but some I can't.

For instance, I wanted to do a Ctrl+Alt+P do expand the mixers in the session view like you used to be able to and it appears that feature has disappeared.

All info is welcome...

you want to reveal the faders? That's ctrl+alt+m (for mixers)

There's a section right at the beginning of the manual that purports to give the changes. Listed as page 2 in the pdf, acrobat says it's page 4.
It's nicely hyperlinked to the appropriate sections too.

No, this is slightly different. In the the Live 4 (EN) PDF section on keyboard shortcuts (p. 277) CTRL-ALT-P is for Hide/Show Clips. In that version, when you hid the clips, the faders became about 75% taller--very handy in some situations. Can't understand why they removed that.
The Live 5 manual section on new features is very handy; but it seems to omit some things that were changed from 4.

Seconded! Thought I was the only one that thought the new 'minimised' faders weren't all that helpful - esp if your using Live as a DAW with 40+ tracks and not viewing clips it'd be nice to have an 'extended mixer view' ie longer fader throws as in v4.

just seeing the mixer when you're not in session view would be good.
