Thanks, Kenzu. If that "improved behavior for retraction between layers" is what I think it is, that was my pet peeve. Already downloaded -- let's see what it does with the arch on the torture test!

Thanks to Clayton et al for the fixes! Now I (we?) can't wait to see the manual. ;-)

Did you add back in the Drag and Drop for stl files that seems to have been accidentally removed in 2.0?

I was able to drag and drop no problem on 2.0 and the new update. This is on the mac version though

Re: 2.0.1 update osx - any version notes?

seems layer heights have gone a bit bizarre (at least on my m2 profile) - is this in accordance with actual steps?

edit - nevermind was just something weird, reset the profile and it's back to normal (albeit with more decimal places than I remember lol)

Re: 2.0.1 update osx - any version notes?

Sounds like it fixed a lot of problems, particularly if you're using externally made g-codes, but rafting is still buggered.

Clayton mentioned to me that soon they'll have an option that let's you do the old style rafting, the new style introduced in version 2.0 floats on a thin layer of support structure -which gives little contact with the bed.
