Ableton Live 8 & Suite 8 Update

Ableton has updated Live 8 and Suite 8 to v8.0.2.

Improvements:

Updated manuals.
Updated help pages.

Improvements for offline authorization.
Resizing tracks with ALT now only resizes tracks within the same level of the group track hierarchy.
Unfold all (ALT-click the arrow) now works only in the same level of hierarchy – “resize all” and “unfold all” works now either on “player and group tracks”, or on “return and master tracks”.
In Session View, group tracks provide a “track launch” button in map mode.
The fold/unfold triangle of a group track is painted blue when a track inside is soloed.
In the file browser, the “create folder” command is available in the “parent folder” context menu.
