Look and color are chosen separately at conversion, and materials turning white after a bake are fixed.

Check before updating

Re-bake: restore materials you already baked to editable, then bake them again.
Re-upload: VRChat avatars need uploading again for this fix to apply.
If you lowered emission intensity to 0 to avoid the white, set it back to the value you want and bake again.
Values a preset from an earlier version overwrote do not come back on their own.

Color Preset — added below the look preset. Apply the look first, then the color.
Keep Existing Values — choosing it in the color preset keeps the colors converted from the source.
Get Started · Look & Bake · Optimize — the Manager is split into three tabs.
Choose what to convert in Get Started, and adjust the look of existing materials in Look & Bake.
Set the automatic handling and the texture resolution limit in Optimize.
When there is nothing left to convert, you can reapply the chosen look and color to existing MingToon materials.
Development diagnostics were hidden from the product menu. The project validation menu is unchanged.

The color preset defaults to Neutral. It replaces the old shadow-color overwrite checkbox.
Shadow band settings brought over from the source at conversion are no longer overwritten by the look preset.
If the source's 2nd shadow has an alpha of 0, the 2nd band is not turned on.
A resolution limit is applied to merged textures and normals. No limit keeps the size.
The import settings of source textures are not changed to enforce the resolution limit.
Generated masks are saved losslessly so channel values are preserved.

Fixed: materials turned white after a bake. The cause was emission being switched on after it had been turned off.
Fixed: the on/off state of emission and the second layer changed during the bake.
Fixed: the effect was applied even to materials with Glitter turned off.
Fixed: the Glitter mask stopped working after a manual bake.
Fixed: matcap color or emission disappeared as the camera moved away.
Fixed: a temporary bake shader was left on editable materials after a VRChat SDK build.
Fixed: on an alpha mask material with an empty main texture, the cutout edge changed after the bake.
Fixed: a preset's off values overwrote modules that were in use.
Fixed: a lilToon conversion issue where the second shadow remained even with shadow intensity at 0.
Fixed: one material failing to convert stopped the rest as well.
Fixed: in projects with no Assets/StudioRaming folder, the mask output folder could not be created.
Fixed: the depth display disappeared in the Scene view.

Not every lilToon look matches pixel for pixel. Check how it actually looks after converting.
How much size is saved and how long it takes vary by environment, so no figures are given yet.
Ming Light Controller is a separate package. Update it to 0.1.2 alongside this.
MLC's VRCFury compression interop and post-compression preview were pushed to the next version.
