Sorry, that's on me since I'm more or less in charge of these threads. I never got around to update the thread for various reasons, but it should be updated now. Please let me know if there was something I missed. Again, super sorry for not updating the thread. Thanks to everyone for adding titles to the thread, it really makes it easier.

@DatRandomDude - Those will go in to the Fall 2018 Simulcast / Q4 Licenses which should be up tomorrow.
