- (Improvement) Fade exposure time: Set `TransitionLayerCount` property with the affected layer count
- **Suggestions:**
- (Add) Transition layers: If you are printing flat on the build plate your model will print better when using a smooth transition exposure time instead of a harsh variation, resulting in reduced layer line effect and avoid possible problems due the large exposure difference.
This is not so important when your model print raised under a raft/supports unaffected by the bottom exposure, in that case, it's fine to ignore this.
- (Add) Model position: Printing on a corner will reduce the FEP stretch forces when detaching from the model during a lift sequence, benefits are: Reduced lift height and faster printing, less stretch, less FEP marks, better FEP lifespan, easier to peel, less prone to failure and use the screen pixels more evenly.
If the model is too large to fit within the margin(s) on the screen, it will attempt to center it on that same axis to avoid touching on screen edge(s) and to give a sane margin from it.

- **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.

- **File formats:**
- (Add) Transition layer count to the supported files and auto compute transition time on corresponding layers in software mode
- (Add) `HaveTransitionLayers`, `TransitionLayersType`, `BottomLayers`, `NormalLayers`, `TransitionLayers`, `TsmcLayers` properties
- (Add) Layer: `IsTransitionLayer` property
- (Add) SL1: Keyword `TransitionLayerCount_xxx` - Sets the number of transition layers
- (Improvement) CTB, PHZ, FDG: Implement the `ModifiedTimestampMinutes` field, it was the MysteriousId before as an unknown field
- (Fix) CWS: Open in partial mode will cause an exception and prevent file from load
- **CCode:**
- (Add) Allow inverse lifts to work as an retract
- (Fix) Parsing of WaitTimeAfterLift was incorrect when lacking a lift sequence
- (Fix) Layers lacking an exposure time was defaulting to global time, now defaults to 0
- (Fix) Layers without a LED ON (M106) was setting `LightPWM` to the max value (255), now defaults to 0
- **Tools:**
- **Timelapse:**
- (Add) Information: Raise Layer count equivalence
- (Add) Information: Additional lifts to be generated
- (Add) Option: Ensure the last layer - If enabled, it will generate an obligatory layer to cover the last layer
- (Improvement) Optimize lift for virtual layer mode, allowing set a slow and fast lift / retract by using another virtual layyer to emulate a lift
- (Improvement) Allow to define slow and fast speed for virtual layer mode even if TSMC isn't supported
- (Add) Fade exposure time: Setting 'Disable firmware transition layers' - Attempt to disable firmware strict transition layers in favor of this tool
- (Add) Calibration tests: Attempt to auto disable the firmware transifiton layers
- (Change) Edit print parameters: Allow set `BottomLiftHeight` and `LiftHeight` to 0mm
- **UI:**
- (Improvement) Disallow drop files into UI when is processing data / disabled and prevent crashing from that action
- (Improvement) Information tab visibility and MinHeight for data grids
- (Improvement) Hide/show GCode tab when necessary (dependent on file format)
- (Improvement) The 'save as' will show the new file into 'Open recent' files
- **PrusaSlicer printers:**
- (Add) Elegoo Jupiter
- (Add) EPAX X1 4KS
- (Add) EPAX DX1 Pro
- (Add) EPAX DX10 Pro 5K
- (Add) EPAX DX10 Pro 8K
- (Add) EPAX E10 8K
- (Add) EPAX X133 6K
- (Add) File - Terminal: Inject C# code into UVtools with an interactive terminal
- (Improvement) Modifiers: Better increment values for the spin up/down buttons
- (Improvement) Tool - Timelapse: Better lift and feeds for virtual layer, also allow to set custom lift speed for that mode
- (Fix) Tool - Edit print parameters: Disallow to change PositionZ in layers with an active alternating pattern
- (Fix) GCode: When generating layers higher than the next, it will not return to the correct position z
- **Core:**
- (Add) Utilities methods (`MinimumSpeed`, `MaximumSpeed`, `CreateMat`, `CreateMatWithDummyPixel`, `FileFormat.CopyParameters`)
- (Improvement) Issues - Print Height: Group all layers outside the valid print height
- **FileFormats:**
- (Add) Generic / Phrozen ZIP format
- (Add) Information/modifier to file formats to tell whatever is possible to use custom PositionZ per layer
- (Add) Safe checks in order to run some tools, related to the previous "PositionZ" point
- (Improvement) if blank, allow the previous layer to have a higher Z position than the successor layer
- (Improvement) SL1: Implement the missing keys from new features of PrusaSlicer 2.4.0
- (Fix) Calling a partial save action without a progress instance would cause a crash
- (Fix) GCode: Unable to parse the "Wait time after lift" when a second lift (TSMC) was present, leading to a sum on "Wait time before cure"
- **Tools:**
- (Add) Timelapse: Raise the build platform to a set position every odd-even height to be able to take a photo and create a time-lapse video of the print
- (Add) Scripting: ScriptToggleSwitchInput
- **Raise on print finish:**
- (Add) Reapply check and prevent run the tool in that case
- (Fix) It was incorrectly marked to be able to run in partial mode
- (Fix) The dummy pixel was beeing set to a wrong location
- **Layers:**:
- (Change) When set Wait times to a negative value, it will set the global wait time value accordingly
- (Change) Allow ExposureTime to be 0
- **Commandline arguments**
- (Add) --run-operation \<input_file\> \<operation_file.uvtop\>
- (Add) --run-script \<input_file\> \<script_file.cs\>
- (Add) --copy-parameters \<from_file\> \<to_file\>
- **UI:**
- (Add) When open a file with missing crucial information, prompt the user to fill in that information (Optional)
- (Add) Warn user about misfunction when open a file with invalid layer height of 0mm
- (Improvement) Layer information: Only show the "Exposure time" when its availiable on the file format
- (Improvement) When a file is about to get auto-converted once loaded and the output file already exists, prompt user for overwrite action
- (Improvement) Set default culture info at top most of the program to avoid strange problems with commandline arguments
- (Upgrade) .NET from 5.0.13 to 5.0.14
- (Downgrade) OpenCV from 4.5.5 to 4.5.4 due the crash while detecting islands (Linux and MacOS) (#411, #415, #416)
