Moonbeam v0.4.2

Moonbeam v0.4.2-alpha is now available for use on Windows and Linux, just note that we are still in the alpha version and strange behaviors may appear (although none have been detected so far). And until version 1.0 arrives, there are many ideas to include in the editor. The following is a technical detail of the v0.4.2 release.
