Can I upgrade only liquidctl.exe?

[sp00n]

I have an NZXT Controller hub that apparently is not recognized by this plugin. Executing the included liquidctl.exe with liquidctl.exe list --debug also showed nothing (and a version number 0.0.0-unknown?), so I went to the liquidctl repository and downloaded and build the latest revision, which then did show two recognized units:

• NZXT RGB & Fan Controller (3+6 channels)
• NZXT Kraken 2023 Elite (broken)

I actually wanted to control the Fan Controller, so it should be fine, however the plugin still doesn't recognize anything in Fan Control after having replaced the liquidctl.exe with the newly built one. Do I need to compile the whole project again, or does the code of the DLL itself also need to be updated to support anything new that has been added to liquidtctl?
