Plug-in value editing
It was not possible to edit the numeric values of some plug-ins (e.g. Sonnox) properly by using the keyboard. In general, value editing with the keyboard, has been improved.
if these key commands are not captured by the focused plug-in. Usually, by clicking on the plug-in’s window, the keyboard shortcuts are automatically assigned to them. Selecting something different within WaveLab focusses the keyboard commands on WaveLab (host) again. But from 7.1.1, if you can also press the Escape Key for having the same effect.

Compatibility issue with iLok licensing dialog
Certain third-party plug-ins using the iLok protection have shown a reminder license dialog, which has blocked WaveLab (when opening the plug-in from within WaveLab). Limitation: the license dialog will still be blocked at program startup. It is recommended to register the plug-in before launching WaveLab.
