Release notes for 0.6.0 (2012-01-20)
After much work, a new beefy release of Slic3r is ready for download.
New features:
- thin walls!
- new Output Filename Format option to allow for complex output filenames using option values (like_foo_3perimeters0.15height.gcode)
- automatic retraction at the end of the print
Improvements:
- much better overlap between infill and perimeters in those situations where previous version was still producing gaps
- smarter order for hole perimeters to save travel and time
- large internal refactoring (less memory and some speed)
- bridges now have higher priority than other solid regions
- loops are now closed better
- use solid print speed for internal solid layers too
- checkbox in GUI to enable comments in G-code
- warn if no layers were detected
Changes:
- Windows package is now distributed as a ZIP file rather than a self-extracting executable
Bugfixes:
- some island having no holes and contained in holes themselves were ignored
- fatal error in arc detection code
- wrong month number in output
- small regions were infilled even with fill_density = 0
- fill was escaping perimeters near some corners
- other fatal errors removed, especially when dealing with dirty files
