No Details on EastWest's downloads page http://www.soundsonline.com/Support?section=updates

They usually list something...
 Maybe they'll update it with more info later.  Maybe they just want to remind everyone of their current sale (up to 60% off). 

The following is all they list.

PLAY 6.1.9

• PLAY 6.1.9 upgrade is for Mac users running OS X 10.7 or higher, and for Windows users running 7 and above.
• PLAY 6.1.9 is now available for free to all EastWest customers. If you are a current PLAY 6 user please use the Installation Center to get your update.

Thanks. Is this one of those sales where upgrades are excluded... as usual?

If you haven't gotten around to upgrading Play 6 - it's now free.
Other upgrades? No idea, I haven't been tracking prices.

Yes, it's this erratic EastWest sale where everything is on sale, but upgrades ?

So few EastWest sales include upgrades, you really shouldn't be all that surprised.  I can only think of two in the last 4 years.

Well then mathematically, of these 2 chances for upgrade, I should have one within the next two years ???

Given the state of the world I think it's fair to say that past sales patterns are unlikely to hold this fall/winter/Christmas.    Which certainly may help get a reasonable deal out of EastWest, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  They seem to be focused on selling the subscription (and overpricing everything to make that more valuable).
