Dropped Features or Technologies.
below is some tech we replaced or dropped like a hot potato in v2024.

ReWire: basehead Connect replaces this ancient horrible old tech.
CodeMeter (We will make our own pool-able licenses system that is lighter and more modern)
VST2 (Will be Replaced with VST3 in this version)
The Browser Page: We have the ability to Explode Folder inside ‘Imports’ now to replace this.
BaseHead Server (cubeSQL): We make our own in house integrated version that works seamlessly and is more WFH friendly then the current way with free upgrades for exisiting users of cubeSQL.
RAM Database: No longer needed cuz searching is way faster then with RAM DB Search ON in old BH.
Spotting to Generic Non-Hardwired DAWs. Basically now, if they do not have newer modern API, SDK or Scripting language the DAW is no longer supported besides via Drag and Drop.
‘Auto-Switching Paths’: We decided it’s not worth porting this code since it’s more for non-hardwired DAW’s. Basically…If the DAW manufacture doesn’t have an API we will no longer support them besides via Drag and Drop.

Not seeing something you hoped for?

If might still be coming still as the above is not complete, but if it was never put in the RequestBase OR maybe it never got upvoted much is another reason. All Feature Requests should start in the RequestBase.
