v5.21b (Jul 26, 2017):
- Bug fix update for the Windows versions, primarily fixing an issue with Platinum's Plugin Hosting
- This is a 64-bit only version of Drumagog 5 and requires Windows 7 or newer. Users of older 32-bit DAWs and operating systems should continue using the previous 5.21 version.
