Skeinforge 41

Hi all,

I noticed that a new version of Skeinforge appeared yesterday (2011-04-27 08:04:47 CET).

I would love to give it a try, but I just got #40 working with my setup and so I would prefer to see a changelog but so far I can't find any mention of what is new in this release, or what bug fixes are in.

Has anyone got any more information or has already tried it out?

Cheers,
Gary

Just installed it on another computer and looking through the settings I cannot see any difference between 40 and 41 at this point

The skirt function has been corrected.. + a few code cleanups..

I just printed a large gear for a Wades extruder using SF41 and the following settings. The gear came out really well although it is slightly raised on the underside which lifeted the edges off the bed while printing. It wasn't a problem as the middle had stuck really well

yep I believe ahmetcemturan is correct.

I was comparing each tab and it looks like the only thing that has any changes is skirt.
