- **(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.

* 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
* **(Improvement) Calibration - Elephant Foot:** (#145)
* Remove text from bottom layers to prevent islands from not adhering to plate
* Add a option to extrude text up to a height
* **(Improvement) Calibration - Exposure time finder:** (#144)
* Increase the left and right margin to 10mm
* Allow to iterate over pixel brightness and generate dimmed objects to test multiple times at once
* **(Fix) File format PWS:**
* Some files would produce black layers if pixels are not full whites, Antialiasing level was not inherit from source
* Antialiasing level was forced 1 and not read the value from file properties
* Antialiasing threshold pixel math was producing the wrong pixel value
* **(Fix) Raw images (jpg, png, etc):** (#146)
* Set layer height to be 0.01mm by default to allow the use of some tools
* When add layers by clone or other tool it don't update layers height, positions, indexes, leading to crashes
* **(Fix) Actions - Import Layers:** (#146, #147)
* ROI calculation error leading to not process images that can potential fit inside the volumes
* Out-of-bounds calculation for Stack type
* Replace type was calculating out-of-bounds calculation like Stack type when is not required to and can lead to skip images
* Better image ROI colection for Insert and Replace types instead of capture the center most
* (Fix) Settings window: Force a redraw on open to fix auto sizes
* (Add) Setting: Expand and show tool descriptions by default
* (Improvement) Drag and drop a file on Main Window while hold SHIFT key will open the file under a new instance
* (Improvement) PrusaSlicer & SL1 files: Allow to set custom variables on "Material - Notes" per resin to override the "Printer - Notes" variables
This will allow custom settings per resin, for example, if you want a higher 'lift height, lift speed, etc' on more viscous resins. (#141)
* (Change) Setting: Windows vertical margin to 60px
* (Fix) Export file was getting a "Parameter count mismatch" on some file formats (#140)
* (Fix) photon and cbddlp file formats with version 3 to never hash images
* (Fix) Windows was not geting the screen bounds from the active monitor
* (Fix) Tool windows height, vertical margin and position
* **(Fix) Exposure time finder:**
* Text label
* Set vertical splitter to not show decimals, int value
* Set vertical splitter default to 0
* Allow vertical splitter to accept negative values
* Optimized the default values
* Removed similar letters from text
* Add some symbols to text to validate overexposure
* Decrease Features height minimum value to 0.5mm
* (Upgrade) EmguCV/OpenCV to v4.5.1
* (Upgrade) AvaloniaUI to 1.0
* (Improvement) GUI re-touched
* (Improvement) Make pixel editor tab to disappear when pixel editor is disabled
* (Improvement) Simplify the output filename from PrusaSlicer profiles
* (Improvement) All operations require a slicer file at constructor rather than on execute, this allow exposure the open file to the operation before run it
* (Improvement) Calibrations: Auto set "Mirror Output" if open file have MirrorDisplay set
* (Change) Tool - Redraw model/supports icon
* (Change) photon and cbddlp to use version 3 by default
* (Add) Tool - Dynamic layer height: Analyze and optimize the model with dynamic layer heights, larger angles will slice at lower layer height
while more straight angles will slice larger layer height. (#131)
* (Add) Calibration - Exposure time finder: Generates test models with various strategies and increments to verify the best exposure time for a given layer height
* (Add) File load checks, trigger error when a file have critical errors and attempt to fix non-critical errors
* Layers must have an valid image, otherwise trigger an error
* Layers must have a incremental or equal position Z than it previous, otherwise trigger an error
* If layer 0 starts at 0mm it will auto fix all layers, it will add Layer Height to the current z at every layer
* (Add) Tool - Edit print parameters: Allow set parameters to each x layers and skip n layers inside the given range.
This allow the use of optimizations in a layer pattern, for example, to set 3s for a layer but 2.5s for the next.
* (Add) Layer height property to "Layer Data" table: Shows layer height for the slice
* (Fix) When automations applied and file is saved, it will not warn user about file overwrite for the first time save
* (Fix) Tool - Redraw model/supports: Disable apply button when no file selected
* (Fix) Tool - Infill: Lack of equality member to test if same infill profile already exists
* (Fix) Auto converted files from SL1 where clipping filename at first dot (.), now it only strips known extensions
* (Fix) SL1 encoded files wasn't generating the right information and lead to printer crash
* (Fix) PrusaSlicer printer "Anycubic Photon S" LiftSpeed was missing and contains a typo (#135)
* (Fix) PrusaSlicer profile manager wasnt marking missing profiles to be installed (#135)
* (Fix) PrusaSlicer folder search on linux to also look at %HOME%/.config/PrusaSlicer (#135, #136)
* (Fix) Operations were revised and some bug fixed, most about can't cancel the progress
* (Fix) Some typos on tooltips
* (Fix) Prevent PhotonS from enconding, it will trigger error now as this format is read-only
* **(Fix) Ctrl + Shift + Z to redo the last operation:**
* The layer range is reseted instead of pull the used values
* Tool - Arithmetic always disabled
* Action - Layer import didn't generate info and always disabled
* (Add) Auto-updater: When a new version is detected UVtools still show the same green button at top,
on click, it will prompt for auto or manual update.
On Linux and Mac the script will kill all UVtools instances and auto-upgrade.
On Windows the user must close all instances and continue with the shown MSI installation
* (Add) Tool profiles: Create and remove named presets for some tools
* (Add) Event handler for handling non-UI thread exceptions
* (Fix) Mac: File - Open in a new window was not working
* (Fix) Tool - Rotate: Allow negative angles
* (Fix) Tool - Rotate: The operation was inverting the angle
* (Fix) Tools: Select normal layers can crash the program with small files with low layer count, eg: 3 layers total
* (Add) Program start elapsed seconds on Log
* (Add) Lift heights @ speeds, retract speed, light-off information to status bar
* (Fix) Per layer settings are being lost when doing operations via tools that changes the layer count
* (Fix) Current layer height mm was being calculated instead of showing the stored position Z value (For hacked files)
* (Fix) Zip: By using hacked gcodes were possible to do a lift sequence without returning back to Z layer position
* (Fix) ZCodex: Read per layer lift height/speed, retract speed and pwm from GCode
* (Fix) Status bar, layer top and bottom bar: Break content down for the next line if window size overlaps the controls
* (Fix) Status bar: Make right buttons same height as left buttons
* (Improvement) CWS: Better gcode parser for decoding
* (Change) GCodes: Cure commands (Light-on/Cure time/Light-off) are only exposed when exposure time and pwm are present and greater than 0 [Safe guard]
* (Change) Zip: If only one G0 command found per layer, it will be associated to the cure z position (No lift height)
* (Change) Merged bottom/normal exposure times on status bar
* (Change) Tabs: Change controls spacing from 5 to 2 for better looking
* (Change) Deploy UVtools self-contained per platform specific: (#89)
* Platform optimized
* Reduced the package size
* Includes .NET Core assemblies and dont require the installation of .NET Core
* Can execute UVtools by double click on "UVtools" file or via ".\UVtools" on terminal
* **Naming:** UVtools_[os]-[architecture]_v[version].zip
* **"universal"** zip file that includes the portable version, os and architecture independent but requires dotnet to run, these build were used in all previous versions
