I see there’s a new build out with a super minor fix for VCV free random, but it looks like there are a lot of non VCV devs who have put in update requests like three weeks ago.
Is VCV Library still building modules for the VCV Library?
Well, I received the option to update (red dot) just now. The update passes without error. However, after restarting VCV Rack, the red dot comes back, asking for the same update.
What’s worse, upon loading a recent project, Squinktronix ‘Harmony’ cannot be found anymore, despite being marked as being installed.
What should I do?

It’s a bug in the Rack toolchain… I just got a note from Andrew about the Mutants and the Monsters, the builds have been reverted.
AFAIK, this bug bites Windows users only.
The Mutants, Monsters and Squinktronix plugins are affected, among others.

Reupdating your plugins should restore the previous working versions, I think.

The toolchain bug is this one:

[Report](https://community.vcvrack.com/t/vcv-rack-plugin-toolchain-updates/20465… /41) that cross-compiled plugins crash on Windows platform with latest toolchain updates.
**Update:** Confirmed on my Windows test system. Investigating.
