What's New:

New Features & Improvements:

• Tail spillover: activate tail spillover from the toolbar to play effects tail when bypassed (available for PatchWork itself or built-in delays and reverbs).
• Arrow keys can now be used to navigate presets, in the main view or in the presets browser.
• The opacity of the tone map window can now be adjusted for built-in effects.
• Smoother presets switching.
• Improved smooth plug-in bypass (faster and smoother transition).
• New high resolution graphics for knobs and sliders.
• Reduced disk footprint.

Fixes:

• Fixed: the state of some VST2 plug-ins (which do not save their state as chunks) were not be restored properly if their number of parameters had been changed (e.g. FabFilter Pro-Q's latest update).
• Fixed: several issues with hosted plug-ins bypass (graphical glitches, untriggered bypass...).
• Mac: fixed GUI performance issues on native P3 displays and improved performance on other displays.
• Mac: fixed mouse wheel that required large movements to change parameter values.
• Mac: fixed mouse cursor flickering issues.
• Mac: fixed Esc key not closing fine edit parameter dialog.
• Mac: fixed keyboard not responding in registration panel in some host applications (LUNA, Garage Band...).
• Mac: fixed demo version that could hang Logic when reloading projects using the plug-in.
• Mac Audio Unit: fixed plug-in listing in some host applications (Plogue Bidule...).

Enjoy!

Thanks for the head's up.  

I've run into some of these issues.  The GUI ones are usually purely visual and don't negatively affect how it works, but when that happens in front of a client, they see something's off and that can manifest into them hearing that something is off.
