D++ 10.1.3 is here!

This update mainly smooths out edge cases for Windows bot, especially fixing a reconnect loop that could leave your bot stuck retrying forever after certain websocket disconnects. If you’ve ever seen that on Windows, this one’s for you.

One important note: GitHub no longer provides VS2019, so we can’t ship VS2019 prebuilt zips anymore. Only VS2022 builds are provided now. If you want to use D++ in VS2019, you need to build it yourself from source.

You’ll also find a new way to declare complex component groups, allowing you to design them on sites like discord.builders, and the usual round of small fixes to keep things running smooth.

The changelog is listed below:
