+
+* New features and improvements:
+- Introduced a way that you can open models from Thingiverse from your browser
+- Introduced Universal Cura Project files. They contain models and settings and can be shared with people who have different printers.
+- Introduced settings that define the raft offset for top, middle and bottom raft layers
+- Introduced an analyzing tool in the cura engine to better track slicing crashes, and started fixing the biggest reports coming in.
+- New Primetower option; Sparse, next to the current Bucket, contributed by @wawanbreton
+- Brim only on the inside setting
+- Allowing to define print sequence manually when printing One at a time, contributed by @alexandr-vladimirov (Github)
+- Introduced a setting to apply Monotonic ordering to the Raft Top Surface
+- Introduced a Raft Wall Line Count for the Bottom, Middle and Top of the raft
+- The play speed of the nozzle in the preview is now closer to the movement of the printhead
+- Introduced an option to choose Drop Model to Buildplate every time a project file is loaded
+- Introduced DisplayInfoOnLCD Post Processing Script which combines DisplayFilenameAndLayerOnLCD with DisplayProgress, contributed by @GregValiant
+- Introduced alternative camera navigation similar to FreeCAD Trackpad, contributed by @quarnster
+
+* MethodX specific improvements
+- Enabled Print over Cloud for UltiMaker MethodX and Method XL printers
+- Introduced ASA, SR30, and Nylon12-CF profiles for MethodX and Method XL Printers
+- Improved the predicted printing time so it's closer to the actual printing time on the MethodX and MethodXL
+- Improved the idle nozzle temperature for dual extrusion printing on MethodX and MethodXL
+- Resolved a crash for the Method printer when navigating to the Monitor tab
+- Improved the way that the fanspeeds were listed and controlled for MethodX and MethodXL printers
+- Updated Raft settings for UltiMaker MethodX and MethodXL
+- Enabled Monotonic Raft Surface to improve adhesion
+- Increased the Minimum Retract Distance to improve infill pattern wall overlaps
+
+* Bug fixes:
+- Fixed significantly slower slicing for models with a lot of holes
+- Fixed a significant amount of crashes that are caused by self intersecting polygons
+- Fixed a bug where Align to Buildplate did not work for grouped meshes, resolves https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/14237
+- Fixed a bug where the models in a 3mf file would not load in their saved position, note that this also changes the behavior of the "import models" feature of a 3mf file, for this feature the saved model location will be ignored
+- Reduced the amount of floating support in area's near the support overhang angle threshold
+- Fixed a bug with the Initial Extruder Number in the start gcode, resolves https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/17501
+- Fixed a bug where Z could be negative if Remove Empty Layers was enabled, resolves https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/15975
+- Fixed tree support-related crashes if there are no overhangs, contributed by @thomasrahm
+- Pressing the Esc key now doesn't exiting full screen mode, contributed by @Sophist-UK, resolves https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/7499
+- Improved the OAuth protocol to improve signing in with plug-ins, contributed by @wawanbreton
+- Fixed some slicing crashes with tree support, contributed by @ThomasRahm
+- Fixed available height when adding modifier mesh in One at a Time printing, contributed by @fieldofView resolves https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/16566
+- Improved behavior for loading 3mfs by giving the models original names, contributed by @pietchaki, resolves https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/12089
+- Added an error so LimitXYAccelJerk doesn't run unless Accel Control is enabled in Cura, contributed by @Gregvaliant
+- Some helpful code cleanup contributed by @dmitrygribenchuk
+
+* Printer definitions, profiles and materials:
+- Introduced high-speed profiles for the layer heights <0.15mm for Ultimaker PLA, T-PLA, ABS and PETG.
+- Updated Initial Layer Speed settings for UltiMaker S3, and UltiMaker S5
+- Updated the Shrinkage Factor for PET CF to improve dimensional accuracy
+- Renamed UltiMaker PP Transparent to UltiMaker PP Natural
+- Increased part strengths of high speed modes by compensating for slip in high flow rates
+- Improved self-support settings for UltiMaker Materials
+- Improved adhesion settings for UltiMaker ABS
+- Introduced Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus and Max, and updated Elegoo Neptune 4 and Pro, contributed by @mastercaution, @BremerButjer, @gsthnz, @ArthurREGNARD, @NovaScotianNorse, @ToaterUwU, @CharlKlein, @si0ls, @AlbeDarned @fuji97 and @Ev1dentFir3
