Any idea how I can find the dates for each Live release?

Post by Stryker295 » Tue Aug 01, 2017 9:06 am

The Ableton website does not seem to have this and the Wiki article only has the major versions and their mo/year. Anyone know a way or place I can look up the actual release date of every version?

??? The wiki has day, month and year, including 6 updates to Live 9, what more do you need?

As I said, the wiki only has the major versions. There are 33 version updates since I started using the software, and there isn't even that many on the wiki page.

I ended up finding and compiling a list of the info I needed, here's a snapshot in case it helps you understand.

You might have to contact Ableton direct to get the exact dates on all updates. That list will be long my friend

I suppose it would have been easier to understand had you said point release, but I get that it's not a regimented thing. Why do you need this?

Doing a data visualization project in excel and figured I'd pull up the versions since when I started using it (8.3) and plot some graphs of their releases and other relevant data. Had to find a source for that much data though :)

One thing looking at this makes me realize is how long it's been since a major release. I'm sure it will happen, but only Logic has taken as long between releases.
Logic Pro X - July 16nth, 2013
Live 9 - March 5th, 2013

Compared to:
Cubase 9- December 7, 2016
Pro Tools 12- March 23, 2015
Digital Performer 9- June 2015
Sonar Platinum- January 13, 2015

To be fair the integration of Push into Live 9, and a slew of updates that add to everyone's workflow make it somewhat moot, but yeah we should see a new version at some point here.
