+THANK YOU to all Ultimaker Cura users helping in the fight against COVID-19 – with 3D printing, volunteering, or just by staying home. Want to get involved? Find out more at https://ultimaker.com/in/cura/covid-19
+
+* New Intent profiles.
+In version 4.4 we introduced Intent profiles for the Ultimaker S3 and Ultimaker S5 which allow you to start prints at the click of a button without a lot of configuration steps. Due to popular demand, version 4.6 expands the range of Engineering Intent profiles to include more of the Ultimaker material portfolio: PC, Nylon, CPE, and CPE+. These work with 0.4 print cores.
+
+* Show active post processing scripts.
+fieldOfview has contributed an ease of use improvement to the post processing plugin. The number of enabled post processing scripts will now display as a badge notification over the post processing scripts icon. A tooltip gives extra information about which scripts are enabled for quick and easy inspection, so there's no need to open the post processing dialog.
+
+* Hole Horizontal Expansion.
+smartavionics has contributed a new setting that applies an offset to all holes on each layer, allowing you to manually enlarge or contract holes to compensate for horizontal expansion.
+
+* Per-model settings.
+The "Infill only" checkbox has been changed to a dropdown selection: “Infill mesh only” or “Cutting mesh”.
+
+* Transparent support rendering.
+In preview mode with ‘Line type’ selected, support material will render with transparency so you can easily see what’s being supported.
+
+* No stair stepping for PVA profiles.
+Stair stepping is intended to reduce the adhesion between support and the model, where the support rests on the model, and to reduce scarring. As PVA doesn't suffer from scarring or adhesion issues due to its water-solubility, this value has been set to 0 for PVA profiles. A known issue with the stair stepping algorithm causes support to disappear sometimes, so doing this reduces the chance of that happening when PVA is used.
+
+* Separators in extensions menu.
+fieldOfview has contributed a method for plugin authors to add separators between menu items in the “Extensions” submenu. The method is backwards-compatible so changes don’t have to be made in Cura and Uranium together.
+
+* Ultimaker account sign in prompt.
+Added clearer text to the sign in popup and first use flow to highlight the benefits of using an Ultimaker account with Cura.
+
+* Updated installer.
+Small fixes have been made to the installer. To keep up with the times, we’ve also updated the images to display an Ultimaker S3 instead of an Ultimaker 3.
+
+* Infill mesh ordering.
+When you have three objects overlapping each other and you set two of them to "Modify settings for infill of other models", then the setting "Infill Mesh Order" determines which of the two infill meshes gets priority where they overlap. This was broken for cutting meshes, so BagelOrb contributed a fix.
+
+* Backups storage size.
+We’ve put a hard limit on backup file size in this release to prevent other files being stored there.
+
+* 3MF gcode comments removed.
+Fixed a bug where comments were removed from Start/End G-codes when opening from a 3MF.
+
+* Print monitor preheat fields.
+Values in the print monitor preheat fields were broken in previous versions, they have now been fixed by fieldOfview.
+
+* Stepper motor disarming during pause at height.
+Some printers (like the Ultimaker S5) have a very heavy build platform. When the pause at height script was enabled, it would disarm the Z stepper motor at pause height. The weight of the build platform would cause the Z axis to lower by gravity and lose the Z position. ilyko96 has contributed a fix to the pause at height script so that the Z stepper motor now remains armed during a pause, locking the build plate in position.
+
+* Flying Bear printers.
+oducceu has contributed a machine definition for the Flying Bear Ghost 4S Printer.
+
+* Magicfirm printers.
+jeffkyjin has contributed machine definitions for MBot Grid II+, MBot Grid II+ (dual), MBot Grid IV+ and MBot Grid IV+ (dual).
+
+* HMS434.
+Updates to the HMS434 machine definition have been contributed by maukcc.
+
+* FabX Pro.
+hussainsail2002 has contributed machine definitions for FabX Pro and print profiles for REDD materials.
+
+* Disclaimer: Third-party machine definitions are accepted as contributed, and are not tested or maintained in any way by the Cura development team.

-*Intent profiles.
-What’s the intent of your print? A rapid prototype? A visual prototype? An end-use part with specific holes sizes? Intent profiles accelerate the CAD-CAM workflow by preconfiguring all the right settings in Ultimaker Cura for each of these use cases. Simply select a profile that matches the intent of your design, slice, and you’re ready to print immediately, without the need to adjust the typical settings. For now, there are three Intent profiles:

-*Per-model settings.
-Per-model settings are a set of very powerful features for users who need to tweak specific settings in specific parts of the model. In previous releases these were buried in the interface somewhat, so this release has made them more discoverable with clear icons in the toolbar, so everyone can discover them. The per-model settings can now be accessed both when working from the recommended and the custom print settings mode.

-*Print small features slower.
-Smartavionics has contributed a setting which recognizes small perimeters and reduces print speed in order to boost the reliability and accuracy of small printed features. This is especially useful for small perimeters such as printed holes, as they tend to get ripped away from the build plate easily due to their low contact area.

-- Marketplace text. Fixed an issue where Marketplace text is blurry on some screens
-- Unsupported profile imports. Fixed an issue where exported profiles could not be reimported.
-- Loading file message. Added visual feedback when loading files such as STLs
-- Loading GCODE on disabled extruders. Fixed an issue where GCODE imported using multi-extrusion fails to load if an extruder is disabled.
-- Support brim with concentric support pattern. Fixed an issue where support would be in mid-air.
-- Reduced cloud logging. Logging has been reduced for cloud connections on unstable connections.
-- Application menu extruder menu. Fixed an issue where changing the extruder via the application menu didn’t work.
-- Tool handles move when rotating. Fixed an issue where rotate tool handles would change location when rotating.
-- F5 reload. Fixed an issue where F5 doesn't reload GCODE.
-- Application not starting before the splash screen. Fixed an issue where the application wouldn’t start before the splash window.
-- Qt 5.13 crashes. Fixed an issue where the ShaderEffect crashes using Qt 5.13
-- Can’t select other materials in print setting tab. Fixed an issue where other materials couldn’t be selected using the print settings tab.
-- Drop down to buildplate after resize. Models don’t drop down to the build plate if they are scaled down from ‘too large to fit’.
-- Unsupported quality profiles. Fixed unsupported quality profiles appearing for 0.25 + 0.8 print core combinations.
-- 'Arrange all models' for groups. Fixed an issue where arrange all models hangs for grouped models.
-- Update Checker not working. Fixed this so that updates are visible if using a legacy version.
-- Missing support brim. Fixed an issue where support brim was missing if platform adhesion set to ‘None’.
-- Multiply non-normal mesh doesn't work. Fixed instances where processes stopped and messages would hang.
-- Settings not updating in GUI with inheritance. Fixed settings not updating GUI with inheritance.
-- Prevent 'generic'-part in name of specific materials. Introduced checks for ‘generic’ material types to help material categorization.
-- Hide temperature settings. The "Default Print Temperature" setting is currently editable, but editing this setting can cause problems with temperatures later especially when you have it in your custom profile. We decided to hide this setting so users can no longer edit it in the later releases to avoid confusion. The "Default Build Plate Temperature" has also been hidden because it causes a similar issue.
-- Add machine_heated_build_volume. Introduced a new machine_heated_build_volume machine-setting, which is set it to false by default, and only set it to true for the Ultimaker S5. Users can alter their own definition if they do have a heated build volume.
-- Z-hops on first layer. First move other start GCODE not z-hopped. Contributed by sailorgreg.

+*Orthographic view.
When preparing prints, professional users wanted more control over the 3D view type, so this version introduces an orthographic view, which is the same view type used by most professional CAD software packages. Find the orthographic view in View > Camera view > Orthographic, and compare the dimensions of your model to your CAD design with ease.
-*Object list.
+*Object list.
Easily identify corresponding filenames and models with this new popup list. Click a model in the viewport and its filename will highlight, or click a filename in the list and the corresponding model will highlight. The open or hidden state of the list will persist between sessions. How convenient.
-*Print previews.
+*Print previews.
Some improvements have been made to print previews displayed in the monitor tab, Ultimaker Connect, or the Ultimaker S5 interface. In some instances, previews were clipped at the bottom or side, and sometimes models outside of the build plate area were visible. This is all fixed now.
-*AMF file compatibility.
+*AMF file compatibility.
Ultimaker Cura now supports AMF (Additive manufacturing file format) files out-of-the-box, thanks to an AMF file reader contributed by fieldOfView.
-*Slice button delay.
+*Slice button delay.
After clicking ‘Slice’, a lack of response could lead to frustrated buttonclicking. This version changes the button text to read ‘Processing’ during any pre-slicing delay.
-*Layer view line type.
-The line type color scheme in the layer view has been tweaked with new colors for infill and support interfaces so that they can be distinguished better.

-*Nozzle switch prime distance.
+*Nozzle switch prime distance.
Certain materials “ooze” more than others during retraction and long moves. Vgribinchuk has contributed a new setting that lets you finetune the restart distance, so that the full extrusion width is achieved when resuming a print.
-*Smart Z seam.
+*Smart Z seam.
A new option to increase the aesthetic quality of your prints has been added to custom mode, under Z seam settings. Smart Z seam works by analyzing your model’s geometry and automatically choosing when to hide or expose the seam, so that visible seams on outer walls are kept to a minimum.
-*Separate Z axis movements.
+*Separate Z axis movements.
Z axis movement handling has been improved to reduce the chance of print head collisions with prints.
-*Flow per feature.
+*Flow per feature.
You can now adjust material flow for specific features of your print, such as walls, infill, support, prime towers, and adhesion. This allows line spacing to be controlled separately from flow settings.
-*Merge infill lines.
+*Merge infill lines.
We did some finetuning of the CuraEngine to improve print quality by filling thin infill areas more precisely and efficiently, and reducing movements that caused excessive gantry vibration.
-*Z hop speed.
+*Z hop speed.
The Z hop speed for printers with no specific speed value would default to ‘299792458000’ (light speed!) The new Z hop speed setting ensures that all Z hops are performed at a more sensible speed, which you can control.
-*Support tower diameter.
+*Support tower diameter.
The ‘Minimum diameter’ setting for support towers has been renamed to ‘Maximum Tower-Supported Diameter’, which is more accurate and more specific because it mentions towers.
-*Square prime towers.
+*Square prime towers.
Circular prime towers are now the default option. Square prime towers have been eradicated forever.
-*Third-party printer order.
+*Third-party printer order.
The ‘add printer’ menu now includes third-party printers that are ordered by manufacturer, so that specific machines can be found easily. Printer definitions. New machine definitions added for:

+*Creawsome mod.
This version has pulled the Creawsome mod, made by trouch, which adds a lot of print profiles for Creality printers. It includes definitions for Creality CR10 Mini, CR10s, CR10s Pro, CR20, CR20 Pro, Ender 2, Ender 4 and Ender 5, and updates the definitions for CR10, CR10s4, CR10s5 and Ender3. The CRX is untouched. Pull requests are now submitted that merge the mod into mainline Cura.
