- Vote on the website — you can now sign in on 3dprintmanager.com/roadmap and vote directly, not just from the app
- Shipped & Not Planned views — see what's already been delivered, and what's been set aside (with voting still open, so a "no" can become a "yes" if enough people want it)
v1.7.1
- Tracked the crash to a race between the renderer and background cleanup of 3D preview surfaces deep inside two of the UI libraries the app is built on
- We patched two libraries directly and now ship the fixed builds with the app, and we've submitted the details upstream so every app using them can eventually benefit
- 3D preview surfaces are now also cleaned up immediately when a preview closes, instead of lingering in memory until garbage collection

v1.6.10
- SVG and PDF files are now supported — import them, get real thumbnails, and view them full-size in the new media lightbox by clicking on their static image in the detail panel.
- Craft-pattern metadata: record an Author and Pattern Code on image and PDF files, also turn on and off data shown for files in the file detail panel from settings -> appearance.

- Fixed dialogs that could open invisibly behind the built-in web browser
- Crash reports now include more diagnostic context so issues get fixed faster
v1.6.9

v1.6.4
- Fixed file and folder sorting so capitalization no longer scatters items — names now sort alphabetically regardless of case
- Crash reporting now reliably captures its diagnostic dump in installed builds

- Reports include the technical details needed to track down and fix the cause, with nothing identifying about you or your files
- New support FAQ covering system specs, fixing 3D preview crashes, and how the app works with your real files

v1.5.5
- New browser-style Back and Forward navigation buttons in the library toolbar
- Clicking a category in the sidebar no longer forces the folder filter on
