Release notes for 1.1.1 (2014-04-21)
This is anĀ experimental release. Help us testing!
For the full list of new features see the release notes for 1.1.0.
Improvements:
- Faster loading/refreshing of presets (thanks sapir for the patch)
- Faster G-code export
- Preserve alignment of meshes when composing parts in the Object Editor
- Better gap fill
Changes:
- Always complete one island at time (perimeter -> infill -> next island -> perimeter -> infill) instead of doing that only when Avoid crossing perimeters is enabled. This leads to fewer travel moves, faster prints and is more consistent with what already happens when a print contains more copies and/or objects
Bug fixes:
- The Y coordinate of point config fields was not correctly validated
- Crash when setting number of extruders
- Crash when using multiple skirts with a single, non-zero, extruder
- Incomplete/sparse extrusion on solid surfaces
- The threads config option was not enabled anymore
- Command-line –scale and –retract-layer-change options were not working properly
- Presets were listed in random order
- Pillars support material crashed when no overhangs were detected
- Bridge angle detection was failing in many cases (thanks ledvinap for patches and debugging)
- Linux packages for 1.1.0 were broken
- Sometimes a tiny gap was left between infill and perimeters
- Infill only where needed was not working properly anymore
- Avoid crossing perimeters was not considering some possible routes
- Default extruder was not applied to perimeter extruder
- [filament_preset] placeholder (and other *_preset) was not replaced in output filenames
- Crash when using concentric solid infill
- Input fields had focus issues on Windows
Known issues:
- An upstream bug in the Clipper library causes some random perimeter segments to be swapped in order (#1834)
