- (Add) Setting - Max degree of parallelism: Sets the maximum number of concurrent tasks/threads/operations enabled to run by parallel method calls.
If your computer lags and freeze during operations you can reduce this number to reduce the workload and keep some cores available to other tasks as well.
<= 0: Will utilize however many threads the underlying scheduler provides, mostly this is the processor count.

* Layer remove: Disallow to select and remove all layers
* Tool - Edit print parameters: Retract speed wasn't propagating the value to normal layers
* File formats: Better control, set and checking for null/empty thumbnails
* **Core:**
* Fix some improper locks for progress counter and change to Interlocked instead
* Fix a bug when chaging layer count by remove or add layers it will malform the file after save and crash the program with some tools and/or clipboard
* Fix when a operation fails by other reason different from cancelation it was not restoring the backup
* When manually delete/fix issues it will also backup the layers
* **LayerManager:**
* LayerManager is now readonly and no longer used to transpose layers, each FileFormat have now a unique `LayerManager` instance which is set on the generic constructor
* Implemented `List<Layer>` methods to easy modify the layers array
* Changing the `Layers` instance will now recompute some properties, call the properties rebuild and forced sanitize of the structure
* Better reallocation methods
* **Clipboard Manager:**
* Add the hability to do full backups, they will be marked with an asterisk (*) at clipboard items list
* When a partial backup is made and it backups all the layers it will be converted to full backup
* Clipboard can now restore a snapshot directly with `RestoreSnapshot`
* Prevent restore the initial backup upon file load and when clearing the clipboard
* Clip's that change the layer count will perform a full backup and also do a fail-safe backup behind if previous clip is not a full backup
* **Pixel dimming:**
* Allow to load an image file as a pattern (Do not use very large files or it will take much time to dump the data into the textbox)
* Empty lines on patterns will be discarded and not trigger validation error
* **Core:**
* Write "Unhandled Exceptions" to an "errors.log" file at user settings directory
* Increase layer height max precision from 2 to 3 decimals

* 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

* 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

* (Upgrade) AvaloniaUI to 1.0
* (Improvement) GUI re-touched
* (Improvement) Make pixel editor tab to disappear when pixel editor is disabled

* (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

* (Add) CWS: Support Wanhao Workshop CWX and Wanhao Creation Workshop file types (#98)
* (Add) CWS: Split format into virtual extensions (.cws, .rgb.cws, .xml.cws) to support diferent file formats and diferent printers under same main .cws extensions. That will affect file converts only to let UVtools know what type of encoding to use. Load and save a xxx.cws file will always auto decode/encode the file for the correct target format no matter the extension.
* (Improvement) CWS: It no longer search for a specific filename in the zip file, instead it look for extension to get the files to ensure it always found them no matter the file name system
* (Fix) CWS: When "Save as" the file were generating sub files with .cws extension, eg: filename0001.cws.png

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
