AutoCAD Electrical 2020.0.1 Update has been released!
Remember, pushing out a new 'version' of the software each year doesn't allow time for any beta testing.
Beta testing for AutoCAD products has been performed by end users for at least 15 years. No one on the planet has bought or licensed a fully functional, tested, debugged AutoCAD product in this century.
Furthermore, there's usually only one, at most two, service packs for any one version. Hard to offer more support than that when you're worried about banging out a 'new' version every 12 months. And these service packs never address the full spectrum of the problems that arise with each release. Rather, they seem to only deal with the problems for which we cannot establish our own workarounds. (It's like they pay attention to the forums, but not for implementing new features - it's more so they can find the things that end users can't fix on their own.)
We are all mistaken if we expect a completed product to land on our desktops. I use ACADE 2017, and it's not perfect, and it's been out for three years. In fact, Autodesk is about to stop supporting it because of its age even though there are large portions of it that need to be addressed.
I have zero faith that newer versions designed for newer operating systems would be any different.
