+[4.9.0 Beta]
+
+* "Line type" is now the default color scheme.
+When entering the Preview mode, you don't have to switch manually to line type. 
+
+* Z-seam is now clearly shown in preview mode.
+This ensures that you will know whether the seam will be sufficiently hidden in the end product. This will also indicate the starting point of the print.  
+<i> Thanks to BasF0 for contributing to this feature </i>
+
+* Weight estimation in decimals.
+This provides a more detailed idea of the amount of material used - which is especially useful for smaller prints. 
+

+The shell category was a mix of settings about walls and settings about top/bottom, splitting them into two categories makes more sense.
