Release notes are there now on that link.

Ha, just bought Elastique AAX a few months ago. Oh well! That looks like the best new feature (alongside silicon).

And this will be where I stop - plan runs out at the end of the month, and just not getting enough value from the new features to justify $400pa for Ultimate. I have an unused reinstatement license for such time as it warrants it.

I installed PT, X-form and Synthcell, all 2023.3, and tested a few sessions, and all seems well. I didn't time it, but I have impression that sessions load a bit faster - just like, if you just closed one, and open it again, as if its laying ready in RAM, but this is just after PT launch.

Oh well, the beta has been working so well for me that I'm not expecting much difference - I'm hoping for not much difference.
Maybe the flickering cursor bug… let me check…

…yea, it looks like it's fixed.

(Added: Confirmation in the release notes: "The cursor icon will no longer flicker between different icons on macOS Ventura (PT-294557)".)

Lot's of bug fixes her for my room with ATMOS, but was hoping to see some news on a Dolby plugin insert in PT, but guessing that is down the road still. maybe NAB or later.

here is the list, but some nice improvements for importing and etc.

Control surface improvements I see as well.

After an "in-situ" install over 2022.12 on an 2017 intel MacBook Pro, the first launch froze while scanning plugins. After quitting and relaunching, it finished scanning plugins and started up fine. I loaded the sample session "Low Roar" and it played back fine. I loaded some old sessions of mine and they also played fine. Plugins all seemed to appear. Note: I'm running in Rosetta mode as this is an intel machine. Next, I'll install on my M1Max Studio.
