 ### Fixed
 
+- Added a workaround for a bug present in every Bluecat Audio VST3 plugin where
+  those plugins don't expose the `IPluginBase` interface through their query
+  interface.
 - Worked around a regression in Wine 6.5 that would prevent yabridge from
   shutting down. With Wine 6.5 terminating a Wine process no longer terminates
   its threads, which would cause yabridge's plugin and host components to wait

+/**
+ * This is a workaround for Bluecat Audio plugins that don't expose their
+ * `IPluginBase` interface through the query interface. Even though every plugin
+ * object _must_ support `IPlugBase`, these plugins only expose those functions
+ * through `IComponent` (which derives from `IPluginBase`). So if we do
+ * encounter one of those plugins, then we'll just have to coerce an
+ * `IComponent` pointer into an `IPluginBase` smart pointer. This way we can
+ * keep the rest of yabridge's design in tact.
