  - Add compatibility for VST 3 SDK update 3.6.6
  - Miscellaneous fixes and improvements

Version 4.2.1
  - New class CachedValue, for providing easy and efficient access to ValueTree properties
  - Reduced audio plug-in binary sizes on OS X and added symbol-stripping option
  - Miscellaneous fixes and improvements

Version 4.2
  - Added support for AudioUnit v3 on OS X and iOS
  - Simplified the JUCE module format. Removed the json module definition files, and made
    it easier to manually add modules to projects. The format is fully described in the
    document juce/modules/JUCE Module Format.txt
  - iOS project support: added custom resource folders, custom xcassets, app capabilities,
    and screen orientation settings.
  - Deleted the Introjucer.. But don't panic! All of its functionality is now supplied by a
    more open-source version of the Projucer. By refactoring the closed-source LLVM compilation
    code into a DLL, we've been able to unify the Introjucer and Projucer into a single
    open-source project. This will allow everyone to compile the Projucer's IDE themselves, and
    having just one app instead of two will make things a lot less confusing!
