Summary

This is a second release candidate of PrusaSlicer 2.0.0, mostly fixing bugs discovered in the first release candidate. The PrusaSlicer 2.0.0-rc2 is a successor of the Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.42.0-beta2. Please see the change logs of 2.0.0-rc ↗ and 1.42.0-beta2 ↗ for the complete change logs of the 2.0.0 / 1.42.0 series.

Bugs fixed

• Refresh rate was increased while manipulating the layer slider in the print path preview #1250.
• List of filament types was extended with resin types less commonly used for FDM printing like PC, PEEK or PEKK. A free form text may newly be entered into the "filament type" field #1704 #2232.
• The default outputfilenameformat template was changed to contain the default ".gcode" file extension for the FDM technology and the ".sl1" file extension for the MSLA technology. This gives the user a clear cue, that the extension should better be provided in the template field. This change has been done to fix an issue, where the the code which processes the outputfilanemeformat template considers everything after the last dot to be a custom file extension. Also newly an empty outputfilenameformat is supported as well, producing an output file name with a ".gcode" or an ".sl1" extension #1918.
• Fixed localization a configuration key by mistake, leading to a crash of PrusaSlicer 2.0.0-rc when switched to French language #2233.
• Fixed an issue in the "Send G-code to printer host" dialog, where the host upload path persisted even if erased #2234.
• The "save preset" dialog newly prohibits square brackets in the preset name, as the preset name is used as section key in a config bundle .ini file ↗, and the closing square bracket is prohibited in a section key #2236.
• OSX specific: Fixed an issue of an edit field with a spin control, where the whole field context was being selected after each key stroke #2237, #2259.
• Fixed missing images on Windows, "invalid bitmap size" asserts on Linux #2238, #2240.
• Fixed inconsistent (+) versus (x) icons at the "Color print" layer slider #2249.
• Fixed wxWidgets asserts on Linux / GTK at closing of many dialogs #2250.
• OSX specific: Fixed layout issues caused by wxWidgets returning a zero HiDPI scaling value for some UI widgets, if these widgets were not yet fully constructed #2251.
• Windows specific: Fixed unnecessary notification of the File Explorer due to an association of the 3MF file format with PrusaSlicer at each application start up #2254.
• OSX specific: Fixed application signing issue at the build server #2269.
• At the Plater, the extruder selectors for a multi-material FDM printer now correctly limit the choice to the number of extruders defined at the Printer profile
• Fixed mangled non-latin1 characters in Model Volume name after copy/paste.
• Concept of a project file has been finished: The project file name is set when an AMF or 3MF file is drag & dropped onto the Plater, and the project name is used by the template processor to build the file name of the output G-code.
• Windows & Linux specific: Fixed a regression, where in the object list when in-place editing the object name, the accelerator keys (Delete, Backspace, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-A) were incorrectly captured by the object list, causing weired effects or even crashes.
• Added a new "Portions copyright..." dialog, which opens from the About dialog and it shows the used libraries, their authors and copyrights.
