VST3 plugin class ID migration
As someone pointed out, the development version of yabridge's VST3 support was not compatible with projects containing VST3 plugins saved on Windows. As it turned out, the class IDs VST3 plugins use to identify themselves with have a different format on Windows than they do on Linux. As of commit 1b804bd5ea4485cb204e40d476ef54801b1ecb38 yabridge converts between those formats for cross-platform compatibilty, but this does mean that containing VST3 plugins running through yabridge saved before that commit will no longer be compatible. As a temporary migration path, there are a few scripts here that you can use to convert old project files to the new format.
These scripts won't overwrite any existing files, but remember to always make more backups than you really need!
TODO: Document further once we finish the Bitwig, Ardour and Renoise scripts
