    there are still quite a few people using L11, and Ableton always wanted to finish on very stable final versions for a major release (L11)

    thats what im thinking.

    ofc i dont really know why Ableton still releases L11 versions

    I still think a L12 PDF manual is more important than any more updates for L11.

    I am certain that one reason would be to satisfy customer base with systems that do not meet the requirements of Live 12. AVX2 on the x86_x64 Windows PC side as an example.

    i dont think its x86_x64 thing on windows. since Live 12 is only dependent on windows version, which ableton still supports or not.

    maybe its a mac thing? since Ableton still produces U2B and ARM releases for L11 (and ofc L12), now im sure if they planning to drop U2B support anytime soon.

    Maybe because they have to continue fixing it for people. They wouldn't do it just for fun. People can usually buy the retail software version, up until the day they put out the new version (or even longer). So they probably "owe" those people bug fixes and/or updates for whatever time frame they say they will have.

    As long as a currently produced Push exist that has 11 as minimum then that kind of defines it.

    I don't know about these particular updates but they're probably patches and bugfixes to their frameworks that both 11 and 12 and use.
