Hello Live2D Community!
This is the Live2D Cubism Editor development team.
The purpose of the Cubism Editor 4.2 alpha is to allow creators to evaluate the usability and performance of the new features that are planned to be included in Cubism Editor 4.2, and to reflect these evaluations to provide an even better product when the release version is released.
The English version of Cubism Editor 4.2 alpha has the same new features as the Cubism Editor 4.2 alpha released for the Japanese market.
As part of the development process, we will release the alpha version to Cubism users and move to the beta version after the specifications are finalized.
In the beta version, we work to improve the quality by fixing bugs and other issues.
After a certain period of time to confirm that the important bugs are fixed, a release version will be made available.
Please read the precautions before using Cubism Editor 4.2 alpha.

Upcoming Cubism Editor 4.2 Release
The beta release is scheduled for the end of April.
The period of the alpha version and the timing of the beta and release versions may vary depending on the amount of feedback we receive.
Cubism SDK
There is no alpha version for Cubism SDK 4.2. The beta version is scheduled to release at the same time as Cubism Editor 4.2 beta.
“Blend Shape” and “Multiply Color/Screen Color” will be supported in the beta version.
It is possible to create works using the alpha version, but data including the new features such as "Blend Shape" and "Multiply Color/Screen Color" cannot be exported as embedded data. We strongly recommend that you use the alpha version for the purpose of evaluating the usability and performance of the new features.
