Werewolf Dynamics v0.4.0

Thirteen modules now. Two new boxes, and a new face on every panel.

New modules

WD Strip — a console channel in one window: preamp into EQ into
compressor, with a model selector on each stage. Any of the five Pre laws,
either EQ, any of the four compressors. The three stages share one power
rail inside the same process, so the compressor's knee genuinely moves when
the preamp leans on the supply. No rack required.

WD Duress — a curve-family compressor in the Distressor spirit. Every
ratio position is its own engineered curve: 1:1 is warm-up distortion with
no compression, 10:1 borrows an opto release with a twenty-second tail,
Nuke is a log-release brickwall. Three distortion modes, two stereo link
laws, and a British Mode that overrides the envelope.

The new look

Every faceplate moved to a flat, instrument-style design language: flat
color fields, fine printed tick work, clear text. No fake screws, no fake
metal, no glow. Same layouts, same controls, same sound — your sessions and
presets load unchanged. A neutral WD Graphite theme is now built into every
module's theme picker.

Also in this release

• WD FET: triggered attack scope on the gain-reduction strip — a single-shot
  capture of each attack dive with a measured time-to-63% readout, so you
  can see what the ATTACK knob actually did.
• CPU: the spring tank in WD Echo runs about a third lighter, WD Tape's ECO
  mode was re-voiced to track HQ within 6% THD on hot program, and offline
  bounces now force HQ automatically.
• Fixed a startup crash in WD XQ's browser-preview path.

Install

Unzip, copy each .vst3 folder into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3,
rescan in your DAW. Windows 10/11, 64-bit, any VST3 host. Builds are not
code-signed yet, so expect the usual first-download grumble.
