I often use a printers profile as a start and then make changes to it over time. Today S3D informed me that the profile had an update, great. I saved it as a new profile and then went about looking for differences. This would have been a lot easier if there had been release notes or a changelog that I could have skimmed through. This would ensure users did not miss anything out when updating.
Is this information currently available? If so, where?

Re: Printer profile changes
The .FFF files are in XML format, which is just plain human-readable text. Open both files in notepad and use either a program or website to do a text compare and you can see what specifically is changed between the two files.
Re: Printer profile changes
I use winmerge (http://winmerge.org/?lang=en) heavily to figure out what is different between the various iterations of my profiles. You can even use it against .gcode files (for just the header) since S3D dumps a summary of the profile as comments at the start of the file.
