• Rigify armature updates by an anonymous contributor! (Changelog copy-pasted below)
  • 'Rigified' the new rigged tongue;
  • Moved the eyes and rigged tongue bones to their own layers to reduce clutter in the face layers;
  • Fixed the skirt bones alignment when converted, and also added the sixth bone (cf_j_sk_##_05) to the chains, just in case;
  • Characters without skirt bones are now supported;
  • Connected hair/accessory bones in the same way the CATS plugin does, and changed their widgets from 'circle' to 'limb' type, so the connections with their MCH parents are more apparent;
  • Enabled a small new Rigify adjustment to the toe bones for Blender 3.2+ (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H80AjLWgECY );
  • Enabled a small new Rigify feature to the limb bones for Blender 3.3+, which allows you to scale the arms and legs uniformly by scaling the gear control bone at their base;
  • Now the script that is run after the Rigify conversion automatically changes parents and armature modifier targets to the generated rig for all mesh objects in the scene that are related to its metarig; it does it without relying on object names so it should be safe even with multiple characters in the same scene (it detects its metarig from a common bone with a random alphanumeric string in its name). In other words, there's no more need to parent objects with empty groups.
