Ableton has announced Live 9. You'll find the details and a bunch of new videos like the one above on their webpage, but here's their main list of what's new:

...or sing the music in your head. Sketch out ideas quickly by singing (or beatboxing) into Live and converting your recording to MIDI.
Edit the details. Powerful MIDI note manipulation tools and an improved editing workflow help you create new musical ideas fast.
