UPDATE 28/8
12.4.5 has arrived, but with no Extensions. Getting bloatier every release, now up to 4.5G - sheesh. And no news from unAbleton, pages now out of date, their sullen silence is deafening:

Communication isn't their strong point, except to promote artists of a certain type. But never an ongoing conversation with their users on the blog, as to how things are going with releases.
Odd, unfriendly people, really.
UPDATE 4/8
Still no release. My Suno phase is well and truly complete. The wait goes on, there is no news from unAbleton as to why it's taking so long. Don't bother trying to get any updates from a Reddit sub, as most of them seem to be flying monkey trolls who arc up when you merely ask for news on something unAbleton themselves trumpeted. I can't understand why they get so enraged at simple, innocent questions. (Maybe I can ha ha)
A quick progress update is all we're asking for. Not a pre-emptive release. It's not as if there aren't bugs and UI fails they never will fix. Not too much to ask.
7/6
At long last, scripting/coding and Ableton Live converge! A dream come true.

The Extensions SDK has been released, but the Ableton update needed to use it hasn't happened yet, although it can be used in beta. I'm too unfocused at the moment, still having fun with my suno.ai adventures, to do the beta thing, happy to wait for the official 12.4.5.
I know my full attention will return to Ableton, not just for Extensions, but all the Roland, Cherry Audio, Arturia, GForce and Korg synths that I haven't fully explored. The ability to script everything will create some very interesting possibilities. And to enjoy open source Extensions from others. Going to be huuuuuge.
Looking at the SDK package, it's all very familiar coding territory, using Nodejs & Typescript what's more, so after a decade of professional programming, this should be a relative doddle. The ultimate construction kit. Absolutely smashing!
