I think the system/methods now of getting the DNN builds out to the benefactors is working with them getting access to the 3.3.5 & 4.3.5 builds for the last couple of weeks.
It did see several reposts and rebuilds along the way- maybe 5, as they reported things back, other issues were discovered and final testing was underway.
So, I believe in the next day or so, if not already there - a much needed and updated version of DNN is going to be available.
