We want to keep it this way so people can still make plugins work for older versions of Cura, like 3.6, where the 'api' field with just a single major version, instead of the 'supported_sdk_versions', which can be either a version-string like '7.6.0' or a list of version strings.
The Cura 4.9 release will have expanded functionality. If you have a plug-in that uses this functionality, marking it as using SDK 7.5.0 will notify older Cura releases that they can't use that plug-in.
It was decided that functionality present in existing plugins is
sufficient. No need to replicate it in our own codebase and
take on the burden of maintenance
CURA-5479
Previously, the ironing_inset was changed in the profiles to reflect
the changes made in the CuraEngine. This inset though was not taking
into account the ironing_pattern (in the CuraEngine, the inset is
compensated differently depending on the pattern).
This commit fixes that in the version upgrader and the printer
definitions in order to maintain the same behavior for the old
profiles.
CURA-7318
The slicer has been adjusted to give this setting a more logical function: It should be an inset of the outer edge of ironing as it appears in layer view where the lines are made thinner according to their flow.
As a result all of the slices with ironing have changed. This adjusts the setting value so that the actual slice output will not change, just the appearance of the setting.
