Full Release of 0.8.0 (Color Match) Looking like Monday November 18th, but here are the Release Notes

Was hoping for today, but I don't see how that will work now.

Sorry buddy!

I’ve gotten a ton done in the past week and feel pretty good about the general state of HueForge for full release, but there is a lot of testing to do on MacOS and Linux for some of the current changes and I think it is much more responsible to give that some time. Also, I’m out of town this weekend for a family trip so no work over the weekend.

UPDATE: The image was printing while I made this post and has now finished. Curling is my fault for not cleaning the bed on an 350mm tall print, but I kinda like it in context!

In the meantime, here is what has changed between Beta 2 and now:

• Clicking on a Color or Mesh Core layer will switch the prediction to that core.

• Moved the button to switch, if you prefer that, to between the Cores. This spot is in preparation for a more complete toolbar between the cores, but that is going to be pushed to a future UX update release.

• Windows - Moved all configuration including Filament library to Users/AppData. This means you can unzip into Program Files if you want, but also after this version, you will never have to worry about copying your filaments or configs again. This brings it into parity with Linux and MacOS. In order to support this, at startup, you will get a dialog asking for the location of your previous install and it will automate copying over the files. If you screw this up, there is an option in the File menu to try again (you will only get the pop-up once).

• Example Projects and Tools will now be in ~/Documents/HueForge for all OSes as well.

• Added Export Log File option in File menu for support requests (since the log files are now stored in AppData).

• Remove “Import Personal Library” for Windows users.

• Fixed a bug where filaments on the Mesh Core and Color Core were not reflecting TD changes made on the other core. (And the library was not reflecting Mesh Core changes)

• Streamlined TD-1 Firmware updates. You now provide it the update vX.X.X.zip file (from anywhere on your system) and it will stage it properly, then show you what the differences are and have you confirm the update. This will avoid cases where users accidentally put update files in the wrong folder. It will also apply the update to a standard location that will automatically prompt you to update other TD-1s that get plugged in.

• TD-1 Recovery “Wizard” for corrupted TD-1 units with step-by-step instructions to follow.

• Updated Help→Tutorials with new videos

• Added Help→Work Along for projects like the Red and Blue ball and Vector Frog

• Added Wiki links to the Help menu

• Fixed a crash bug when turning on Borders

• Fixed a bug where View Analysis shows nothing if Edit Image is not selected

• Fixed a bug that allowed exporting an empty filament.json/csv

• Added more Color Match example projects
