- **File formats:**
- (Add) `TransitionLayerCount` modifier to: Chitubox Zip, CWS, JXS, OSLA, PW*, UVJ, ZCodex, ZCode
- (Add) Utility methods for transition layers calculation/parse
- (Improvement) Calculate and set `TransitionLayerCount` property in file decode based on layer exposure time configuration
- **GCode:**
- (Improvement) GCode: Able to parse layer image file with appended numbers on the filename (Afecting CWS) (#577)
- (Fix) Bad parsing of the file when it comes from Lychee or NovaMaker slicer (Afecting CWS)
- (Fix) Incorrect parse of "Wait time before cure" from layers when printer require wait sync moves (Afecting CWS)
- **Tools:**
- (Add) External tests: The Complete Resin 3D Printing Settings Guide for Beginners
- (Add) External tests: 9 settings for faster printing
- (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.
- **Status bar:**
- (Add) Transition layers: 0/-0.00s
- (Improvement) Change "Layer Height: 0.000mm" to "Layers: count @ 0.000mm"
- (Improvement) Change "Bottom layers: 0" to "Bottom layers: 0/0.000mm"
- (Change) Show user informative message about CTB Encrypted file format once per ten file loads
- (Upgrade) .NET from 6.0.9 to 6.0.10
- (Fix) Windows MSI installation not upgrading well when downgrade libraries
- **Layer:**
- (Add) Property: `LayerMatBoundingRectangle`
- (Add) Property: `LayerMatModelBoundingRectangle`
- (Add) Method: `GetLayerMat(roi)`
- **Issues:**
- **Islands:**
- (Improvement) Islands detection performance
- (Improvement) Required area to consider an island is now real area instead of bounding box area
- (Fix) Logic bug when combining with overhangs
- **Overhangs:**
- (Improvement) Overhangs detection performance
- (Improvement) Overhangs are now split and identified as separately in the layer
- (Improvement) Overhangs now shows the correct issue area and able to locate the problem region more precisely
- (Improvement) Compress overhangs into contours instead of using whole pixels, resulting in better render performance and less memory to hold the issue
- (Fix) Bug in overhang logic causing to detect the problem twice when combined with supports
- (Improvement) Touching bounds check logic to spare cycles
- **Tool - Raise platform on print finish:**
- (Add) Preset "Minimum": Sets to the minimum position
- (Add) Preset "Medium": Sets to half-way between minimum and maximum position
- (Add) Preset "Maximum": Sets to the maximum position
- (Add) Wait time: Sets the ensured wait time to stay still on the desired position.
This is useful if the printer firmware always move to top and you want to stay still on the set position for at least the desired time.
Note: The print time calculation will take this wait into consideration and display a longer print time.
- (Add) FileFormat: AnyCubic custom machine (.pwc)
- (Downgrade) OpenCV from 4.5.5 to 4.5.4 due a possible crash while detecting islands (Windows)
- **UI:**
- (Improvement) Auto show a horizontal scroll bar on wider than screen contents on the tool windows
- (Improvement) Move normal windows to zero position if negative and auto constrain height if necessary
- (Improvement) Set a minimum width and minimum height for tool windows
- (Fix) Setting - "Allow resize the tool windows" had been lost and no effect when checked
- (Add) Windows MSI - Option: Add installation directory to system PATH environment variable
- (Improvement) Better fetch of UVtools.Core.dll on PowerShell scripts under Windows
- (Improvement) Better handling in get the process output, this fixes processor name not being shown on macOS
- **Windows MSI installer:**
- (Add) UVtools folder to start menu with:
- UVtools
- UVtoolsCmd
- Uninstall UVtools
- (Add) Prompt for add open in UVtools when right-click on supported files
- (Add) Prompt for create desktop shortcut
- (Add) Prompt for launch UVtools after the installation
- (Improvement) Cleanup and simplify the install project
- (Add) PrusaSlicer printer: Peopoly Phenom Forge
- (Upgrade) .NET from 6.0.8 to 6.0.9
- (Fix) Corruption in file after attempt to save to a locked file (#551)
- (Add) UVtools folder to start menu with:
- UVtools
- UVtoolsCmd
- Uninstall UVtools
- (Add) Prompt for add open in UVtools when right-click on supported files
- (Add) Prompt for create desktop shortcut
- (Add) Prompt for launch UVtools after the installation
- (Improvement) Cleanup and simplify the install project
