Improvements with respect to PrusaSlicer 2.2.0-rc

• If a project selected from 'Recently opened projects' menu is no longer available, user is newly asked if that project should be removed from the list, while it was always being removed before. (#3646)
• A new parameter 'Max bridges on a pillar' has been added to allow more control over SLA supports geometry. (#3728)
• 'Export to SD card/Flash drive' and 'Eject SD/Flash drive' functions got their own File menu items and keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+U and Ctrl+T, respectively), and these shortcuts are also shown in the tool tips over the Plater buttons.
• A button 'Detach from system profile' has been added to detach a profile from its parent system profile. PrusaSlicer 2.2.0-alpha and newer considers a Print or Filament profile to be compatible with a Vendor Printer profile only if this Print or Filament profile is derived from a system profile of the same Vendor, or if it is independent. Removing the link to the parent system profile therefore makes that profile visible independent of the Vendor of the active Printer profile. (#3729)

Bugs fixed with respect to PrusaSlicer 2.2.0-rc

• Minor issues in translations were fixed (untranslated strings, typos, etc).
• Fixed some crashes due to errors in translations. (#3748)
• Fixed a layout issue in the right panel after changing the application language. (#3617 #3739)
• Fixed an issue, where no MMU or SLA materials were installed after upgrade from PrusaSlicer 2.2.1 to 2.2 due to renaming of the profiles (profile names were augmented with a '@' character to separate logical name from a full name).
• Fixed a crash appearing with certain resolution scaling values. (#3759)
• Many encoding issues appearing in localized application on Windows were fixed.
• OSX specific: Error dialog had wrong background color leading to unreadable text on some OSX versions. (#3775)
• Wipe info infill did not work correctly in all cases (regression error wrt. PrusaSlicer 2.2.1). (#3769)
• Empty layer detection that prevents user from exporting unprintable G-Codes was sometimes rejecting scenarios that would have printed fine. (#3765)
• Linux specific, regression wrt. PrusaSlicer 2.1.1: HTTPS support was broken in our Linux builds, which in turn broke downloading of system presets from Prusa Research. (#3768)
• Windows specific, regression wrt. PrusaSlicer 2.2.0: Some users reported weird interuptions in user interaction. While we were not able to reproduce the issue, we suspect the culprit being two new services introduced in PrusaSlicer 2.2.0-alpha: Detection of 3DConnexion USB plug / unplug events and detection of removable USB flash drive or SD card plug / unplug events. These detection tasks were performed at the user interface thread, while now they are executed in their respective background threads in PrusaSlicer 2.2.0-rc2 to hopefully fix the issue.
