  1. [5.1]
  2. <i>For an overview of the new features in Cura 5.1, please watch <a href="https://youtu.be/7jetjsHLIvk">our video</a>.</i>
  3. * Improved toolpath simplification algorithm
  4. The algorithm that reduces the resolution of the print has been rewritten, providing a more constant resolution to allow for greater precision without causing buffer underruns.
  5. * Added option to alternate wall direction
  6. A new setting causes the direction of printing walls to alternate between layers and adjacent walls, which reduces warping in the print.
  7. * Adjusted combing boundaries to reduce scarring
  8. Travel moves through the inside of the models are adjusted so that they should keep more distance from the model where possible, yet allowing travels through narrow parts without retractions.
  9. * Reduced acceleration and jerk commands for travel moves
  10. We added the option to disable acceleration and jerk commands for travel moves. If disabled, they will take on the acceleration of the printed part of its destination. This greatly reduces file size and buffer underruns.
  11. * Project files know which packages they require
  12. Newly created project files will now store which packages they require from the Ultimaker Marketplace. If a project needs a material from there, the user will be prompted to download it.

  20. - Start and end g-code can now refer to the currently active profile with replacement keys.
  21. - To provide proper compatibility with both older and newer Linux distribution, this release contains two Linux builds.
  22. * Bug fixes:
  23. - Fix resetting configuration if it gets corrupt.
  24. - Monotonic ordering now works again for top surfaces.
  25. - Fix a bug where Remove Raft Inside Corners didn't always remove all corners.
  26. - Fix the position of the toolbar if the toolbar is too tall to fit.
  27. - Intents in the Recommended Mode now show a description again.
  28. - Remove Inside Corners and Raft Base Wall Count can now be changed per extruder, though they will affect the entire print.
  29. - Fix opening STL files with special characters in their header.
  30. - Fix crash at start-up on newer Linux distributions.
  31. - Fix priming when printing a raft with a different extruder for some of its layers.
  32. - Fix a case where the inner wall ends up protruding through the outside of the model.
  33. - Improve some details on dark mode colouring.
  34. - Fix an error sometimes occurring when uninstalling plug-ins.
  35. - Fix a rendering issue with pop-up dialogues on MacOS.
  36. - Fix Discard or Keep Changes dialog showing an outdated setting value.
  37. - Horizontal Scaling Shrinkage Compensation no longer adjusts the size of the build volume, allowing the full size of the build plate to be used.

  39. - Fix opening STL files with special characters in their file header.
  40. - Fix slicing failure when using Randomize Infill Start in some cases.

  319. *<i>From version 4.11 onwards - Ultimaker Cura is only supported on operating systems actively maintained by their software manufacturer or community. This means Windows 7 and MacOS 10.13 will no longer be supported. Technically this means Ultimaker will stop testing and developing for such operating systems. However, even though it is no longer supported, there is still a high likelihood the application keeps functioning.</i>
