Below is a “sanitized” version of the Daz Studio change log leading to the General Release of version 4.21.0.5. This log is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. That being said, not all information relating to a particular build is present on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.
