- Updated options for Tree Support Rest Preference to be more correct
- Fixed a bug where Tree Support would generate unsupported islands
- Fixed a bug where slicing would fail if Preference was set to On Any Flat Surface
- Fixed a bug where branches were not generated when Support Interface was enabled.
- Fixed a bug where the Support Overhang Angle caused a crash with Tree Support
- Fixed a bug where the Support Interface was not correctly generated with Tree Support
Changed the order in which the brim is printed so it's easier to remove
Introduced the Smart Brim setting that changes the order in which the brim lines are printed making them easier to remove. Try it for yourself with this Cura Cookie Cutter.
New features and improvements:
- Updated the UltiMaker logo to reflect the new company logo
- Added support for the updated mainboard revisions of UltiMaker S3, S5, and S7
- Introduced Hole Horizontal Expansion Max Diameter so only the expansion of smaller holes can be tuned while leaving larger holes untouched.
- Introduced Skirt Height setting to make a skirt easier to remove
- Improved the minimum layer time for printers with multiple extruders.
- Improved accuracy of when the M104 Hotend Temperature command is added
- Improved printing order of the prime tower to include a dual brim, primed every layer, and primed before and after the extruder switch.
- Improved behavior for opening and closing categories when adding a new printer
- Removed the settings related to Wire Printing since it was broken and barely used.
- Upgraded PyQt to version 6.4.2 which improves responsiveness in the UI

Known critical issues:
- Support Brim is missing if the Buildplate Adhesion is set to None. We are tracking reports here.
- Hide seam is actually not hidden and can give random results, for now changing the Seam Corner Preference to None will give better results. We are tracking reports here.
- Combing Not In Skin can result in unexpected stringing. We are tracking reports here.
- Multiple external monitors on Windows (especially if from the same brand) might be a problem under some circumstances.
- Does Cura (not) work on your OS (version)? See this article for clarification.
We are interested in having Cura and Klipper/Smooth Motion 3D printers work together more smoothly and are looking for input on how to do this. Do you have feedback on this topic? Please leave a comment on our discussion.
