Rad f758028de0 Add release notes for v0.92 and refactor mixed filament gradient handling
- 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.

Snapmaker Orca Full Spectrum v0.92 (Pre-release)

Mixed-filament stability and workflow release. Based on Snapmaker Orca v2.2.4.

Highlights

Gradient Behavior Is Now Gradual

  • Removed the Mixed filament layer cycle setting.
  • Reworked non-height-weighted gradient math to use gradual integer cadence by ratio (minority side anchors to 1 layer, majority side scales progressively).
  • This prevents abrupt jumps in layer cadence and makes transitions more predictable.

Mixed Filament Indexing And Mapping Fixes

  • Fixed mixed-filament row labeling so IDs stay compact after deletions in the Mixed Filaments panel.
  • Fixed regeneration order so auto-generated/precomputed mixes are appended at the end of existing mixed rows instead of being inserted at the front.
  • Fixed paint/index remapping when adding physical or virtual filaments so existing painted mixed regions keep their intended virtual filament mapping.
  • Fixed edge case where the first mixed filament could be temporarily replaced by a newly added physical filament.

Automatic Mixed Filaments Are Editable

  • Automatic mixed rows can now be expanded and edited through the gradient controls.
  • Edited auto-origin rows are treated as user-managed entries.
  • Deleting an edited auto-origin row now keeps that auto pair tombstoned (it will not be regenerated immediately and overwrite user intent).

Gradient Preview Color Fidelity

  • Updated gradient preview blending to use the FilamentMixer library path for color reproduction.
  • Preview swatches now better match expected mixed output.

Selective Expansion/Contraction Fix

  • Updated selective mixed-zone contraction so positive values trim only the outside-facing (visible) boundary band.
  • Internal/shared boundaries are no longer symmetrically contracted.
  • Outward expansion behavior remains unchanged.

Also Included (v0.91 Carry-Forward Fixes)

  • Windows startup/log path handling for non-ASCII usernames (UTF-8-safe path resolution).
  • Mixed-filament swatch desync/gray-regression fixes in preview rendering.

Internal/Config Changes

  • Removed mixed_filament_cycle_layers from config/UI wiring.
  • Extended mixed filament serialized metadata with auto-origin tracking to preserve delete/regenerate intent across reloads.
  • Added diagnostic logging around mixed-filament remap and selective-indentation application paths.

Important Notes

  • Experimental build with limited testing.
  • Some projects may show different gradient cadence behavior due to the removal of explicit layer-cycle control.
  • Use at your own risk.
