Pro Tools 12.5.0 Can Cause Loss of Backwards-Compatibility of Layouts

[EddieJones]

Due to an unintended change made to Pro Tools 12.5.0, Layouts created for Artist Series media controllers, System 5 Hybrid and, to a lesser extent, S6 can lose track assignments when a Pro Tools 12.5.0 session is opened in an earlier version of Pro Tools. This problem is related to Track IDs.
In most (but not all) cases, simply opening and saving the session in Pro Tools 12.5.1 or later restores backwards compatibility.
Specifically:
· With any session opened and saved in 12.5.0 and then opened in 12.4 or earlier, all Layouts will be broken for S3, Artist Control and Artist Mix (see note about S6, below). However, if the same session is opened and saved in Pro Tools 12.5.1 or later, all Track IDs will be fixed such that Layouts will work if the session is opened in Pro Tools 12.4.x and earlier.
· New tracks created in Pro Tools 12.5.0 and saved in a Layout will be lost from the Layout if the session is opened in Pro Tools 12.4.x or earlier, but will be present when opened in Pro Tools 12.5.1 or later.
o S6 Note: Tracks created in Pro Tools 12.5.0 and saved to an S6 Layout will remain as long as the new tracks have not been renamed or moved in Pro Tools 12.5.0.

Don't rush it, release it when it's really ready. So far all the S6 updates has been flawless and I really appreciate that! And thanks for being so supportive here also.

Yes fixed in 12.5.1 but layouts built in 12.5.0 may not load correctly. Resave them in 12.5.1.
