Alien Forma 0.6.1 — language preview

Superseded by 0.6.2-preview.20261101. This version has a known MCP startup issue when the isolated browser defaults to a language other than Portuguese. Use 0.6.2 or newer for the corrected bridge. Existing assets are preserved unchanged.

First Alien Forma language-update preview by CongestedAI. This is a Pre-release, not a stable release.

Interface languages

Portuguese, English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. Automatic detection follows your browser/system preferences; choose another language in File → Preferences. The choice is saved in the local profile. Language packs are local assets and need no online translation service.

Language changes preserve project names, entered expressions, file formats, and model data. Imported theme names remain as saved. The seven translated catalogs contain 4,031 entries each; translations are AI-assisted and feedback is welcome. The formal product name is Alien Forma; Forma remains its short name and command.

Downloads

• Windows x64: Forma-windows-x64-portable.exe. No Node.js installation required. Close the application before updating and preserve your existing Forma-data folder.
• Command line / MCP: Forma-cli.tgz. Requires Node.js 22.12 or newer. Install the downloaded package with npm install -g ./Forma-cli.tgz.
• Compare downloads with SHA256SUMS.txt. The short npm registry package has not been published.

Checks completed

Windows: actual portable executable startup, eight interface languages, saved language selection, installed npm package and command, MCP discovery and native SVG extrusion, exact save/reopen, 3MF export, and PNG capture. Distribution files were checked for internal instructions, credentials, and current-machine identifiers, with no findings in that scan.

A native Linux check of this package failed during MCP startup when its browser defaulted to English. This version is superseded by 0.6.2, which fixes that issue; its successful native results are recorded separately.

Preview limitations

Complex painted-model history editing remains under investigation and is not claimed fixed by this language update. No universal startup time or p99 latency is promised. Platform checks cover a basic workflow, not every CAD tool or desktop environment. The Windows executable is unsigned and uses Electron's default icon. Keep project backups before testing.

MCP works with compatible clients and is not tied to a single AI model. Not every interface tool is exposed through MCP. See the MCP guide.
