Kontakt 8.4.0 released today
You can launch Native Access and read about what's new. I'm too tired to try to screen capture the list, covert to text, and then post here. Besides... I post 75% of the posts in this topic anyway and I'm gonna scale back how much effort I put into it. Only so many hours in the day, you know?
I did a full Time Machine backup before updating. It'll be a while before I trust Native Instruments 100% again when it comes to Kontakt updates.
Minor update in 8.4.1. version for Kontakt 8 :
_ ADDED Data Tracking about Default vs Classic View settings
_ FIXED File Menu (Load Recent) stays open if cursor is on hover after load
_ FIXED On MacOS some Content Libraries not found from external drives, due to wrong path construction

Not sure what's been updated. Went to Steinberg web download area and update notes did not appear to be... well... udpated.

Audio Hijack updated from to 4.5.1
Updated in Audio Hijack 4.5.1:
New “Spoken Content” Special Source
On MacOS 15 (Sequoia), the new “Spoken Content” special source replaces the previous “Text to Speech” special source. It captures audio from the “Accessibility” settings “Spoken Content” area, as well as from apps which play text-to-speech audio via the system (triggered by the “Start Speaking” command in the “Speech” menu).
Newly created presets once again enter edit mode when created, allowing their title to be edited immediately. This fixes a regression introduced in 4.4.5.
Saved presets in the “10-Band EQ” effect once again correctly show their name, rather than “Manual”, fixing a regression introduced in 4.5.0.
The “Transcribe” block no longer shows an error when the selected destination folder has been deleted. Instead, the folder is automatically re-created at the start of the session, matching the behavior of the “Recorder” block.
If an output device’s preferred stereo channels update while in use, Audio Hijack will now automatically start using the new channels, rather than requiring a session to be stopped and restarted.
Issues where windows moved to secondary displays could have incorrect window widths have been corrected.
A drawing issue which could result in dark text on a dark background in the “Recorder” block has been corrected.
Imaginando's GRFX Audio Unit plugin will no longer cause the RemoteAUHost process to incorrectly appear in the Dock.
Several small improvements have been made to work better with VoiceOver’s “Speak item under the pointer” function.
Information regarding Whisper models is now cached by the “Transcribe” block, to prevent redundant network requests.
