Alien Forma 0.6.2 — language preview

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.

MCP correction

This preview fixes MCP startup on systems whose default language is not Portuguese. The bridge uses Portuguese only in its disposable automation browser so its existing control selectors stay consistent. Your normal application interface and saved language choice are unchanged.

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.

Linux x64, macOS Intel, and macOS Apple Silicon: installation, command shim, server startup, MCP discovery, native SVG extrusion, exact save/reopen, 3MF export, and PNG capture passed using Node.js 22.12.0 and this exact package. Native check results. These checks cover a basic workflow, not every CAD tool or desktop environment.

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.
