I didn't think so... I was running the latest driver and V3 of the adapter.
As for Aurora or hardware, It's not hardware unless it's tha adapter since... Well, three things.
1. Looping the sequencer drops the net after the first loop.
2. I've had an entire network not kick in until a few commands later at the start of the show/sequence.
3. There are a TON more sticking channels vs. last year and on the same with only the RS485 and Aurora being different.
 
If you check out this year's THX Intro, you'll see that the left side of the house doesn't kick in until the second command. As for stuck channels, I'd have to review the videos to point out a specific song/time where it's obvious.
Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

Didn't we trace that problem back to the FTDI driver?  I'm pretty sure not an Aurora issue.

Any word on sticking channels or the network not being picked up all the time?

Although "Near-seamless transitions" sounds fancy and complicated, it is actually a really cool very easy to use new feature.  This last season, it took me an average of 9 seconds to go from one sequence to the next; you may have noticed something similar in your shows.  You will now have the ability (via a checkbox) to pre-load your sequences at the scheduled show start time so that during the show, as soon as one sequence ends, the next one plays pretty much instantaneously.  I actually had to edit in a few seconds of silence between the songs and the voiceovers!

Some RGB issues that were incidental to another issue have been fixed but have not yet been through testing specific to the RGB aspect.  I'm not in front of the bug reports right now, so I'm not sure if your specific RGB issue has been addressed or not.

The minor scheduler changes (which should workaround the midnight issue) will be rolled into 1.1.  Near-seamless sequence transitions are stable in beta as well, so that feature will also roll into 1.1.

While I wanted 2.0 to be in 2010 (we certainly could use the sales), it probably will not happen until 2011.  This early part of this year will focus on major fixes (such as copy/paste) and roll in of minor fixes tested in 2009.  The middle of the year will contain the DMX focus.  After DMX, we'll be doing a "paper cut" release in order to clean up as many of the various annoyances that we can.  In parallel with all of the above, we'll be migrating to a new installer in order to get rid of the installation issues.

@JohnnyL:  If I recall, you were part of the (small) group that was experiencing phantom shows, right?  Meaning that at midnight, your show would sometimes start up again?  (Or you would wake up at 3am seeing it going full blast?)  While I can't mention specifics, I can say that some minor changes to the scheduler have been made and I believe they are stable enough that Michael will most likely include them in a release. 
 
No changes (that I am aware of) have (yet) been made to RGB.  But I'm not the programmer, so I can't comment with any real authority.

@BigDPS:  Correct.  What once took an entire geologic epoch to complete will now be done in a few minutes.  Initial results look very promising. 

@TheQueb:  That is the plan, yes.  (Development continues.)
