New bass.ddl not included in VMS latest version 2.13.3

I noted that latest version of VMS (2.13.3) does not install the latest version of bass.dll (2.4.17).

Is there any particular reason for that?

I am using the latest version of bass.dll with VMS 2.13.3 and it seems no problem.

Main reason is... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" 😉.

I mean: BASS is lot more than MIDI synthesis, so most of its updates doesn't strictly relate to the MIDI world.
That's why I don't update the bundled versions if there's not a real need to.

Upgrading such an important component requires a lot of testing and, even after that, it could always bring in new bugs and/or regressions.

That's good to know, thanks for reporting it.
I have 2 active bugs (output buffer, and SF loading error) that (maybe) will require a BASS update.
Anyway, after fixing them, I'll test the new version 😉.
