At long last a new RC of ArcWelder is available! I've worked out a bunch of difficult enhancements, and just need some feedback before I push to live. I'm absolutely committed to getting the final release of 1.1.0 out before the new year.

Please post any feedback in the discussion for this release.

Enhancements

• Add extrusion rate variance to support Cura's Arachne engine (variable line width). As an added bonus, this should increase quality if ANY slicer misbehaves by dramatically varying the extrusion rate between moves.
• Add support for travel move conversion. Now extrusion isn't required for conversion, which should make everyone who is using a pen plotter happy.
• Add workaround for firmware that does not support long gcode commands. You can now limit the maximum gcode command length.
• Reduce the max radius to reduce the impact of gcodes that are too long for the current firmware implementation. It now stands at 9999mm.
• Enhance arc generation to convert more G1/G2 commands to arcs when transitioning from retraction/deretraction/travel. Previously the initial point would not be encoded when switching between extrusion/retraction/travel.
• Enhance segment/travel statistics rendering for python code to include unicode box drawing characters, and add separate statistics for travel move encoding.
• Add a 'Cancel All' button to cancel all pending jobs.
• General enhancements to the tab and settings.

Bug Fixes

• Settings in the 'Current Run Configuration' are now only updated after saving settings changes.
