Difference between Profile Version (1.x) and (2.x)

Basically, the two different profile versions differ in their structural design.

The profiles of version 1.x were still built according to the structure of BBL. In version 2.x, structural changes were made to facilitate the administration of the profiles.

The biggest change in version 2.x is the Assets folder in the profile, in which the assets of the printer are stored and managed. The assets include the thumbnail (cover), the STL models for the buildplate and hotend, as well as the texture of the buildplate. In addition, this version also relies on a uniform naming concept that clarifies the purpose of the respective file, so that the extension is easier and finding a file can be done in a meaningful way, as the purpose can be derived from the file name. In this way, the profiles can be used with the profile manager, which was not possible with version 1.x because they differed in their structure and the naming of the individual files.
