I think the 'why' of things is not always relevant and makes people prevent reading all of it. Keep it brief! And with all of this information that people tend to just leave there it's hard to find the actual changes that people made to the template. That's also why the brackets are important, so that it's easy to see that people didn't erase the original template text. We used to have HTML comment codes there but then people put the actual bug report inside the comments as well and nothing showed up, so this is somewhat of a middle ground that everyone understands, programmers and non-programmers.
Cura
This is the new, shiny frontend for Cura. Check daid/LegacyCura for the legacy Cura that everyone knows and loves/hates. We re-worked the whole GUI code at Ultimaker, because the old code started to become unmaintainable.
Logging Issues
For crashes and similar issues, please attach the following information:
- (On Windows) The log as produced by dxdiag (start -> run -> dxdiag -> save output)
