Devblog updates?

[Mitchell_VonB]

Is there any devblog or any sort of status update on this program anywhere that isn't just what I can maybe gleam from these forums?

We don't have a devblog, but you're welcome to email our team directly if you prefer using the contact link at the bottom. At the moment, I know most of them are very focused on our next major release as there's been a ton of work on those new features. There will be a lot to share once they're ready, so we'll be sure to alert everyone once that's available.

Its been how long since the last update? Yes, that long. Can we at least get an idea of what Quarter in 2025, assuming it is coming in 2025, it is expected?

I, for one, would like some idea of what major new features we can expect in V6. There are important features like organic supports and scarf joints that are currently available in other (free) slicers. I've been an S3D user since 2017, and I'm really tired of waiting years between updates (that were supposed to be free) for features I can get elsewhere long before they appear in S3D.

I still find I can get better print quality for some models with S3D, but those instances are getting fewer and fewer. If Ver. 6 doesn't include the newer features I am using regularly in other slicers, I won't be paying for Version 6. Tree supports has 8 PAGES of posts on the Features Request forum. Scarf joints are newer, and I don't think many people know about them or how useful they can be to improve prints. As a result, the number of posts for that are lower, despite pretty much ALL the other major slicers offering it now.

I know our team is definitely already aware of both those feature requests! Like you said, there's a lot of requests for one of them so that's good motivation for our team to spend time on the feature.

If you are interested in a specific feature, please post in the Feature Requests sub-forum instead of this thread as our team tallies those threads specifically to plan future features.
