20220111

What's changed?

• Upstream changes (4.13.0 release) - includes revert of previous experimental changes that broke the layer display on some Windows machines.

• Added Hole Horizontal Expansion Max Size and Hole Horizontal Expansion Max Length settings that let you restrict hole horizontal expansion to holes smaller than the specified size.

• Workaround to suppress some spurious triangular artifacts that can appear with some models and combination of settings.

• The x86_64 AppImage now supports wayland but has a few quirks. e.g. the menus misbehave unless you pop them up with a keystroke rather than by using the mouse. Some file dialogs hang requiring the cura process to be killed so it's not that great, YMMV. To enable wayland support prefix the command with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland. i.e. QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ./Cura-mb-master-x86_64-20220111.AppImage

• Due to upstream changes, the Windows 32 bit release can no longer be built.

• Due to upstream changes, I can no longer build Cura for any version of MacOS.

• The x86_64 Linux release is now being built on a Ubuntu 20.04 system (was using 16.04) so if anyone has problems (e.g. missing libraries), please let me know and I will try to fix.

  • Some systems don't have libxcb-xinerama installed by default so if the AppImage fails to start do sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0 to install it.

IMPORTANT - this release will update your configuration so that it will no longer be compatible with earlier releases. Please make sure to backup your Cura configuration before starting this release!

See README.(md,html,pdf) for usage info and earlier history.

ARM Builds

To use the armhf or aarch64 AppImages you must have the libgles-dev package installed (sudo apt-get install libgles-dev).

Also, if you want the nicer preview display you need to download and unpack the appropriate mesa files archive, this will not overwrite any system files. To unpack from the command line do sudo tar xzf mesa-ARCH-VER.tar.gz
