- **(Add) Suggestions:**
   - A new module that detect bad or parameters out of a defined range and suggest a change on the file, those can be auto applied if configured to do so
   - **Avaliable suggestions:**
      - **Bottom layer count:** Bottom layers should be kept to a minimum, usually from 2 to 3, it function is to provide a good adhesion to the first layer on the build plate, using a high count have disadvantages.
      - **Wait time before cure:** Rest some time before cure the layer is crucial to let the resin settle after the lift sequence and allow some time for the arm settle at the correct Z position as the resin will offer some resistance and push the structure.
                                   This lead to better quality with more successful prints, less lamination problems, better first layers with more success of stick to the build plate and less elephant foot effect.
      - **Wait time after cure:** Rest some time after cure the layer and before the lift sequence can be important to allow the layer to cooldown a bit and detach better from the FEP.
      - **Layer height:** Using the right layer height is important to get successful prints:
                          Thin layers may cause problems on adhesion, lamination, will print much slower and have no real visual benefits.
                          Thick layers may not fully cure no matter the exposure time you use, causing lamination and other hazards. Read your resin dtasheet to know the limits.
                          Using layer height with too many decimal digits may produce a wrong positioning due stepper step loss and/or Z axis quality.
- **Core:**
   - Convert the project to Nullable aware and "null-safe"
- **File Formats:**
   - (Add) `Volume` property to get the total model volume
   - (Add) `SanitizeLayers` method to reassign indexes and force attribute parent file
   - (Improvement) Merge `LayerManager` into `FileFormat` and cleanup: This affects the whole project and external scripts.
   If using scripts please update them, search for `.LayerManager.` and replace by `.`
   - (Change) Chitubox encrypted format can now be saved as normal
   - (Fix) Converted files layers was pointing to the source file and related to it
- **Layers:**
   - (Add) Methods: `ResetParameters`, `CopyParametersTo`, `CopyExposureTo`, `CopyWaitTimesTo`

   - (Improvement) Windows position for tool windows, sometimes framework can return negative values affecting positions, now limits to 0 (#387)
   - (Fix) Center image icon for layer action button
   - (Fix) Center image icon for save layer image button
- **Tools:**
   - (Add) Layer re-height: Offset mode, change layers position by a defined offset (#423)
   - (Improvement) Rotate: Unable to use an angle of 0
   - (Improvement) Remove layers: Will not recalcualte and reset properties of layers anymore, allowing removing layers on dynamic layer height models and others
   - (Improvement) Clone layers: Will not recalcualte and reset properties of layers anymore, allowing cloning layers on dynamic layer height models and others
   - (Fix) Exposure time finder: Very small printers may not print the stock object as it is configured, lead to a unknown error while generating the test. It will now show a better error message and advice a solution (#426)
- **Terminal:**
   - (Add) More default namespaces
   - (Improvement) Set a MinHeight for the rows to prevent spliter from eat the elements
   - (Change) Set working space to the MainWindow instead of TerminalWindow
- **(Upgrade) .NET from 5.0.14 to 6.0.3**
   - This brings big performance improvements, better JIT, faster I/O operations and others
   - Read more: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvements-in-net-6
   - Due this macOS requirement starts at 10.15 (Catalina)
   - Read more: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/supported-os.md
- (Add) Native support for MacOS ARM64 architecture (Mac M1 and upcomming Mac's) (#187)
- (Exchange) Dependency Newtonsoft Json by System.Text.Json to parse the json documents
- (Remove) "Automations - Light-off delay" in favor of new suggestion "wait time before cure" module
- (Fix) File - Send to: Winrar or 7zip have a wrong extension on the list (uvt) when should be (uvj)
- (Upgrade) AvaloniaUI from 0.10.12 to 0.10.13

* **Core:**
   * Write "Unhandled Exceptions" to an "errors.log" file at user settings directory
   * Increase layer height max precision from 2 to 3 decimals
* **Settings - Layer Preview:**
   * Allow to set hollow line thickness to -1 to fill the area
   * Add tooltip for "Auto rotate on load": Auto rotate the layer preview on file load for a landscape viewport
   * Add option to masks outline color and thickness
   * Add option to clear ROI when adding masks
   * Add option "Auto flip on load": Auto flip the layer preview on file load if the file is marked to print mirrored on the printer LCD
* **Layer preview:**
   * Add selectable rotation directions 90º (CW and CCW)
   * Add preview flip (CTRL+F) horizontally and/or vertically
   * Add maskable regions to process on a layer (SHIFT + Alt + Click) on a area
   * ROI: Shortcut "Shift + left click" now also selects hollow black areas inside a white perimeter
   * ROI: Shortcut "ESC + Shift" to clear only the ROI and leave masks in
   * Fix a crash when using the pixel picker tool outside image bounds
* **Pixel editor:**
   * Change drawings brush diameter limit from 255 to 4000 maximum
   * When using layers below go lower than layer 0 it no longer apply the modifications
* **File formats:**
   * Add an internal GCodeBuilder to generate identical gcode within formats with auto convertion, managing features and parsing information
   * Internally rearrange formats properties and pass values to the base class
   * Fix "Save As" filename when using formats with dual extensions
   * CBDDLP and CTB: "LightPWM" was setting "BottomLightPWM" instead
   * CWS: Fix problem with filenames with dots (.) and ending with numbers (#171)
   * CWS: Improved the enconding and decoding performance
   * CWS: Implement all available print paramenters and per layer, missing values are got from gcode interpretation
   * CWS: Use set "light off delay" layer value instead of calculating it
   * CWS: Get light off delay per layer parsed from gcode
   * CWS - RGB flavour (Bene4 Mono): Warn about wrong resolution if width not multiples of 3 (#171)
   * ZCode: Allow to set Bottom and Light intensity (LightPWM) on paramters and per layer
   * ZCode: Allow to change bottom light pwm independent from normal light pwm
   * LGS: Light off and bottom light off was setting the value on the wrong units
   * UVJ: Unable to set per layer parameters
* **Issues:**
   * When computing islands and resin traps together, they will not compute in parallel anymore to prevent CPU and tasks exaustion, it will calculate islands first and then resin traps, this should also speed up the process on weaker machines
   * Gather resin trap areas together when computing for other issues to spare a decoding cycle latter
   * When using a threshold for islands detection it was also appling it to the overhangs
   * Fix the spare decoding conditional cycle for partial scans
   * Change resin trap search from parallel to sync to prevent fake detections and missing joints at cost of speed (#13)
* **Tools:**
   * Add layer selector: 'From first to current layer' and 'From current to last layer'
   * I printed this file: Multiplier - Number of time(s) the file has been printed. Half numbers can be used to consume from a failed print. Example: 0.5x if a print canceled at 50% progress
   * Pixel dimming: Increase wall thickness default from 5px to 10px
   * Import layers: Importing layers was not marking layers as modified, then the save file won't save the new images in, to prevent other similar bugs, all layers that got replaced will be auto marked as modified
