  • 3D Hair – Transform your hairstyle with vibrant colors!

  • Face Art – Enhance your look with face overlays!

• Plugin development: `this.pluginSystem` is now a read-only property and no longer needs to be manually assigned. You should skip manually assigning it when extending plugin base types.

  • Another benefit of this change is that, you can skip calling `the plugin's constructor if you are not doing anything else within it. If you do add a constructor, you will still need to call `super` as before.

• FriendsComponent has been redesigned with updates to the sorting and filtering logic. The original sender’s Bitmoji is now displayed by default in the Reply Camera.

• Classes in API definition files (d.ts) provided by Lens Studio now include `static` methods instead of separating them into their own `namespace` to make it easier to find.
