What's Changed

• Seam improvement: "wipe inside before extruding an external perimeter"

This feature is originally implemented in SuperSlicer by @supermerill and ported into OrcaSlicer by @igiannakas in github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/3287 ↗ By moving the deretraction position of outer walls to the inside of the model, this feature can improve the seams of the model when sandwich or outer-inner print order is used. image image image provided by community member @pemerick07

• QoL: removed P1PP1S profile mismatching warning by @SoftFever
• Enhanced update notification system: Orca now allows users to opt for 'stable updates only' in the preferences section by @SoftFever

Fixed bugs:

• Fixed a regression issue that --datadir was broken in V1.9.0-alpha by @SoftFever
• Fixed an issue where exclude_object code freezes printers running on old versions of Marlin/RRF firmwares which don't have this feature enabled as it was enabled by default in OrcaSlicer. This feature is now disabled by default. Klipper firmware won't freeze even if this feature is not enabled, so I have adjusted most Klipper-based profiles to enable it. Please check your profile just to make sure if it's on/off based on your actual situation/need.
