Hoping that they have fixed their shitty Plugin delay compensation in this update.
PDC management is the only thing at which FL is still shit.

Finally the freeze functionality as "Render as audio clip" devised. Now you can hold a vigil at your house's gable, lighting some candles and devote some money to poor people or solemnly immolate one of your friends as a votive oblation or vow to GOD.

It's like semi-freezing. That functionality which you seek with considering all the automations and FXs enabled is not practicable with this option. Because everything happens inside the playlist. I mean, assume you have a pattern clip and 10 automations and lots of FXs distributed to different mixer tracks for those clips. The only way that can efficaciously assist in freezing as you intended is by using the mixer's rendering or enabling the record button.

 

They said "FREEZE WILL ARRIVE IN version 13" And now it's just a bounce in place option. Dead company...

 

It's been already introduced. Not even an extra feature is needed. Arrangement in FLS is totally different from other DAWs. You can not expect freezing like the one inside Live or others. Practically impossible because essentially FLS is not a track-based sequencer. You can put anything in any track, even 2 or more pattern clips on top of each other in one place:
