So, here's a summary of information I could find about what's going on with v0.52 for those who can't be bothered to look around for information. (Yes, I see the flaw, but oh well)
**TLDR Don't hold your breath for a June release of 0.52**
Vren is in the middle of switching character models to something called Live2D. There's a demo on the patreon available to the public with basic testing functionality. Vren made a post on the 1st of June saying that the next demo would be a single pose with every current outfit available for testing. Current Progress for that one pose is 53 out of 121 clothing items.
Now for what I can only call "the bad news." Vren is doing manual work on each piece of clothing, so excluding optimizing workflow, it probably isn't going to get too much faster. The importing of clothing to the new system was in the works before the May 24th post, which gave it over a week of progress before the most recent post. Even being really optimistic and saying that every other pose can be finished in less than a week, we're still looking at over a month before the import work is completed.
