U-he Diva and Zebra updates

U-he has released updates of Diva and Zebra.

Among other things (change logs below), they both sport a new preset browser. I took Diva out for a spin and the preset browser is definitely fleshed out over previous releases, now supporting tags (not user-defined from what I can tell, but the available options look to provide sufficient coverage) as well as color coded favorites. It's not as fully baked as say Omnisphere's browser, but it's a welcome improvement over the previous release.
