[PD] vstplugin~ v0.5-test3

[Christof Ressi]

I have just uploaded vstplugin~ v0.5-test3 to Deken. The release notes 
are here: https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/-/releases/v0.5-test3

I've fixed a couple of bad regressions in the previous test releases and 
improved the VST3 multibus handling.

Please test and report any issues!

Also, if anyone of you is using Wine, it would be highly appreciated if 
you could try out the new built-in Wine bridge (= load Windows VST 
plugins on Linux)

Cheers,

Christof
