I just ran East West Installation Center and there's an update for OPUS... Updating from 1.5.2 to 1.5.3. Installation Center also updates from 1.4.15 to 1.5.0.
Also I believe this 1.5.3 solves the problem where EW perpetual license instruments wouldn't load or playback properly if offline.

LiquidSonics/Reverb Foundry HD Cart updated to 1.3.2
Thanks for this. I had dumped Bazille a while back because there was no AS support.
Do you mean native Apple Silicon support? I can't check now on my own Mac because I already updated it, but in their version history it shows that Bazille had "Native M1 ARM support" version 1.12 released on August 10, 2021.

1.01.0
2024-08-19
Fixed various causes of intermittent hanging / failure to launch or show in the system menu bar.
The menu bar icon now remembers is position in the menu bar, so won’t intermittently appear at the end of the list and under the notch on a laptop if it’s previously been Command+Dragged closer to the right side.
Fixed various instances of ListenHub’s sample rate reverting unexpectedly, not changing in response to a DAW or hardware device sample rate change, or being different on first launch than at shutdown.
Split the driver into separate “ListenHub System” and “ListenHub DAW” drivers. This allows lower latency for DAW audio before audio drop-outs and prevents system events (e.g. notifications) on newer macOS versions from causing glitches in the DAW audio stream.
Reduced likelihood of audio glitches caused by mis-match between the precise sample rate of ListenHub’s drivers and the hardware audio interface.
Improved the desktop app window behaviour. It’s now opened automatically when the desktop app is launched, and when the window is open it behaves like a normal macOS app (isn’t always on top, shows in the Dock and app switcher, can be minimised, can be hidden with Command+H). The new "Show window when app launches" behaviour can be disabled in the Preferences page.
Reduced CPU use of the audio drivers.
Reduced CPU use of the DSP running in the desktop app.
Various other minor bug fixes.
Softube Updates Today!

Softube Updates Today!
Just ran Softube Central. A WHOLE bunch of updates to Softube plugins today!
NOTE: Oddly enough, the only plug that didn't seem to get updated from 2.5.86 to 2.5.89 was the Console 1 plugin itself! Odd!
Bug Fixes:
• Stereometer: Fixed issue where some windows may not be drawn until mouse is hovered.
• Stereometer: Fixed an issue where the incorrect blend mode was selected. This addresses "Light Mode" themes not displaying the Stereometer correctly.
• Spectrogram: Fixed an issue where hovering changed the apparent brightness.
• Linux: Using the environment variable SDL_HINT_VIDEODRIVER="wayland" now works correctly to force MiniMeters to use Wayland.
Improvements:
• General: Improved sharpness of fonts on systems using fractional scaling.
Known Issue:
• Linux: Audio Devices with >2 channels may have incorrect channel order. I am investigating this. To work around this, open Settings in MiniMeters, under the "Routing" pane select the channels that appear to have signal. I apologize for the inconvenience.
