The latest update `2.3.202505282324` (see top post for links) has several fixes:

1. Using `./dk -O ReleaseSmall Exe` now has a working Windows target. The generated Windows executables do not require Visual Studio at runtime.
2. A use-after-free bug has been fixed which mainly affected cross-compilation for the Linux target.
3. Using a new `./dk gc clear` command will remove all the cache space.
4. A bug has been fixed with the auto-updates where it downloaded up to 5 updates and then reverted to the original.
