Spine 4.0 to 4.2

I will need to upgrade my spine 4.0 to 4.2 and I wonder if 4.2 runtimes accepts spine files exported with 4.0 and if not if there in any shortcut to avoid re-exporting everything manually. Thanks for your help

danialcaraz Whenever you upgrade the runtime, you must also re-export the skeleton data files (the .json or .skel file) with the version you want to upgrade to. We provide shell scripts to do this quickly. It is designed to be easy to use even for those who are not very familiar with running shell scripts, so please refer to the following tutorial article on our blog to get started:

To upgrade from Spine 4.0 to 4.2, you must re-export your Spine projects using the 4.2 editor to ensure compatibility with the 4.2 runtimes. The 4.2 runtimes do not support files exported with 4.0 due to potential changes and new features introduced in the newer version. To avoid manually re-exporting each project, you can set up automated exports using scripts. This can be done using the Spine command line interface, which allows you to automate the export process for all your projects, saving time and effort.
