Okay I know that complaining about a pitch draw tool of all things is petty af but I'm gonna be blunt: It's kinda pathetic it took them almost two decades and six iterations of Vocaloid to implement a feature the community begged them for since the early days and it's not even backwards compatible. I am not even gonna bring competing software into this discussion cause on it's own this is already sad.

I just... Look, I appreciate them trying. I really do. It's nice they are actually listening to the community and trying to improve but the results often feel half assed in the end. Sorry for being a downer I know it's not the end of the world but this has been buggin me for a while.

I agree about Yamaha's stubbornness to listen to their customers, but it's also a no-brainer why they wouldn't implement new features into previous and discontinued iterations of the current Vocaloid editor.

When they talked about backward compatible, they didn't imply updating the older editors, they meant that it's only compatible with V6 voicebanks, not older voicebanks in the V6 editor.
Like if you use Hatsune Miku V4x in v6, you cannot draw pitch bends with the new tool, you have to do it the old way.

Software versions aren't actually decimals, despite using a decimal point separator, so usually no. One of the most common schemes, "semantic versioning" is "major version . feature update . bug fix" and the number can go as high as necessary.

Typically:

* Any update to the right-most number is a "non-breaking change," which means everything should be compatible.

* Any increment to the middle number may be a feature update or a "breaking change," which means a change was made to the interface with other software. Some examples with Vocaloid would be requiring that voice banks be updated, due to a change in how it interacts with banks under the hood, or a change in how the VST interacts with a DAW or something that might change how a given project file sounds when rendered.

* The rightmost is usually a major rewrite.

You could have Vocaloid 6.997.2249

New Vocaloid creepypasta:
'I opened the Vocaloid software and was met with a notification to update the editor. The version number was 6.6.6. I was unfazed at first by this number, as I assumed demons weren't real, so I updated. What a fool I was. I started to regret it as this new update made the editor laggier. Suddenly, the Vocaloid editor crashed, but it didn't close. It blasted my eyes with a horrifying image of Hatsune Miku, but with sharp teeth and blood pouring from her eyes. Before I knew it, she devoured me faster than you can say, "Mou ikkai!"'
