Resolve ordinary mixed-filament painted regions to their effective physical
filament on each layer so adjacent same-color zones can merge into one
continuous area instead of being sliced as separate islands.
Add a global "Collapse same-color mixed regions" option, enabled by default,
and automatically turn it off when Local Z dithering is enabled while still
allowing manual re-enable for experimental use.
Introduce enable_infill_filament_override toggle to replace the implicit
behavior where sparse_infill_filament != wall_filament implied an override.
Add infill_filament_use_base_first_layers and infill_filament_use_base_last_layers
to keep the base filament on boundary layers before switching to the infill
override filament. Move the sparse infill filament selector into the infill
section of the UI and gate its visibility behind the new toggle.
Also fixes: filament deletion now correctly updates wall/infill/solid filament
assignments, LayerRegion::flow() resolves nozzle diameter from the effective
extruder per role, and mixed filament preview ratio calculation is improved
for edge cases (0% and 100%).
Add an app preference for mixed filament gradient auto-generation and
sync the manager state from startup and preferences changes.
Prompt before generating large gradient sets, preserve custom rows
when auto-generation is disabled, and refresh remapping/UI handling
accordingly. Add mixed filament coverage and a dumpinfo helper for
inspecting Windows minidumps.
- Introduced a new `quarantine_socket` function to centralize error handling for socket operations, improving code clarity and maintainability.
- Updated error handling in `UdpSocket` methods to utilize `quarantine_socket`, ensuring consistent logging and socket management across setup, send, and receive operations.
- Added a `cancel` method to `UdpSocket` to safely cancel socket operations when the socket is not usable, enhancing robustness in error scenarios.
- Introduced a `m_socket_usable` flag to track socket state, preventing operations on unusable sockets and improving overall stability.
- Revised the tooltip description to explain the use of variable layer heights for color blending, enhancing clarity on how blended color zones are managed.
- Emphasized the impact of this setting on color blending smoothness and provided examples for better user understanding.
- Simplified the tool change process for local-Z phases by directly switching extruders, avoiding unnecessary template replays that could degrade wipe tower quality.
- Introduced a new function to determine the starting component for local-Z alternating layers, improving the logic for height adjustments based on pass sequences.
- Updated related GCode processing to ensure consistent behavior during local-Z operations, enhancing overall print quality and efficiency.
Hopefully this fixes the issues with local z dithering and the prime tower becoming mush
- Introduced a mapping mechanism for appended filament IDs to ensure correct assignment during color updates.
- Enhanced the update_filament_ids function to streamline filament ID resolution and improve handling of new filament additions.
- Updated the deal_approximate_match_btn and deal_default_strategy methods to accommodate changes in filament management logic, ensuring better integration with the UI.
- Improved overall clarity and maintainability of the filament handling code.
- Introduced functions to calculate the physical filament count and maximum supported filament ID from project configuration, enhancing mixed filament management.
- Updated GUI components to reflect total filament counts, including mixed filaments, ensuring accurate display and interaction.
- Refactored filament initialization logic to streamline color assignment and naming for both physical and mixed filaments.
- Enhanced the sidebar update mechanism to refresh model canvas colors when mixed filaments are modified, improving visual feedback in the UI.
- Updated `custom_tool_changes` function to use filament IDs instead of extruder IDs, ensuring better compatibility with mixed filament configurations.
- Enhanced `MixedFilament` structure to include a `stable_id` for persistent identity across mixed filament entries, improving remapping during updates.
- Introduced new methods for stable ID allocation and normalization in `MixedFilamentManager`.
- Updated serialization and loading functions to maintain stable IDs, ensuring consistent behavior when mixed filament entries are modified.
- Added tests to verify the correct handling of tool changes and stable ID remapping in mixed filament scenarios.
- Introduced a new `RELEASE_NOTES_v0.92.md` file detailing highlights such as gradual gradient behavior, mixed filament indexing fixes, and editable automatic mixed filaments.
- Refactored `compute_gradient_ratios` to remove the cycle layers parameter, implementing a new gradual integer cadence for gradient transitions.
- Updated `MixedFilament` structure to include an `origin_auto` flag for better management of auto-generated entries.
- Adjusted related parsing, serialization, and UI handling to reflect these changes, ensuring improved user experience and color fidelity in mixed filament rendering.
