About Screen Studio
Screen Studio is in pure maintenance — three months of fixes and billing copy, no new capability
The 3.7.x line has taken five point releases since May and none of them add a feature. The content is audio correctness (volume per audio type, channel muting, scrubber behaviour, microphone enhancement applied on export), then billing and account surfaces (clearer dashboard status, renewal reminder wording), and most recently unspecified reliability work across recording, export and captions. The one substantial batch was 3.7.1 in May, which cleared a backlog of audio defects.
