Odds of any new releases or updates?
Been a hot minute since last release. Dead in the water?
Do see that spam posts still get wiped.

Re: New update
Slicer is still good.
Personally, I'd be happy if a version with ‘reach’ to the nearest infill and bridges came out.
Otherwise it's a paradoxical situation - the outer contour's just great, but top solid has defects due to bending of underlying layers upwards

Re: New update
Bridging is the only missing thing for me, STILL my go to slicer.

Re: New update
Almost as well - every time I first look to see if I can use Kisslicer - but the pre-top layers hanging in the air make it hard to choose 
This is what is unacceptable in my products - and these booms come from the fact that the pre-top layers don't touch the infill and hanging in the air are wrapped up and on the next level the nozzle just crashes into them.
I really want to zigzag attached to infill, that is a normal bridge:)

Re: New update
Never had that issue. Does it lessen with thicker skin thickness?

Re: New update
Of course these hills get smaller as the number of solid layers in the upper part increases. At a thickness of 2.5mm it's not noticeable, but that's a hell of a lot of layers!
The ‘tail’ of a zigzag just printed, hanging in the air, curls upwards as it cools down. Since the product occupies almost the entire printer table, the nozzle will not be back here for a very long time, this ‘tail’ has already frozen completely and the nozzle collides with it with a heartbreaking sound.
Interesting that you haven't encountered this. Either you use infill 80% or you are just lucky!

Re: New update
I see the issue there. I have see the starts of that in my prints, but gone for me at 1mm skin.

Re: New update
Yeah, I don't personally know what could be meaningfully added, this is the only slicer I've used for years now. Nothing else comes close.
