Canonical HTML: https://simplyprint.io/changelog/2021

## Filament system update! + bugfixes (2021-11-11) https://simplyprint.io/blog/filament-system-update-bugfixes/

### New features
- **New filament page**: Reworked, with better sorting, a search bar, sorting by brand and type, and a recycle bin for spools that are as good as empty.
- **New way to add spools**: Pick the brand from a list, and for over 300 spools the colour and details fill themselves in. Set what the spool cost, and use three quick size presets you can change.

### Improvements
- **Filament settings**: New settings for standard currency, default filament width, when a spool goes in the bin, and spool weight presets, plus an overview of every brand and spool we know.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed a few display bugs in Safari: images in the file selector and printers in Multiprint.
- Fixed the print job page not loading.
- Fixed performance problems that caused a few minutes of downtime on October 20.
- Fixed some minor dark mode issues.
- Fixed the slicer's nozzle diameter setting not working: it always used 0.4.
- Fixed supports not being generated in some cases in the slicer.

## Dark mode, new app & new front-page (2021-10-22) https://simplyprint.io/blog/dark-mode-new-app-new-front-page/

### New features
- **Dark mode**: Switch between dark and light with the sun and moon in the top bar.
- **New mobile app**: The app was rebuilt from scratch: it looks better and fixes the old one's fundamental problems. It arrives as an update to the app you have.

## New file manager & bug fixes (2021-09-16) https://simplyprint.io/blog/new-file-manager-bug-fixes/

### New features
- **New file manager**: A completely new look, with the list view many of you asked for. It is faster too.

### Improvements
- **Assign a printer and filament type to files**: Set which printer or printer model and which filament type a file is for. Assigning a printer needs more than one printer.
- **File search and filters**: Filter files by printer, file type, material or slicer.
- **File manager on small screens**: It fits laptops, tablets and phones properly.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed the Delete key not removing the selected model in the slicer.
- Fixed the G-code analysis sometimes reporting a model as bigger than it is. Affected files are analysed again the next time you select them.
- Fixed the "Add to print queue" popup not closing after adding, and "Send to slicer" not working.

## 3D model thumbnails + .3mf & .obj support! (2021-09-06) https://simplyprint.io/blog/3d-model-thumbnails-3mf-obj-support/

### New features
- **3D model thumbnails**: Files show a small picture of the model.
- **3MF and OBJ files**: Upload .3mf and .obj files to your storage and slice them in the slicer.

## File manager update; upload more & bigger files! (2021-07-15) https://simplyprint.io/blog/file-manager-update-upload-more-bigger-files/

### New features
- **Analysis on upload**: G-code files are analysed as soon as they are uploaded, so there is no wait when you start the print.
- **Start prints from Files**: Start a print straight from the Files page, and preview G-code files there.

### Improvements
- **Bigger files in the file manager**: Upload G-code files of up to 500 MB through the file manager. The limit there was 100 MB.
- **Upload many files at once**: Upload as many files as you like together, with progress shown for each.

## Big GCODE analysis update! (2021-07-01) https://simplyprint.io/blog/big-gcode-analysis-update/

### New features
- **Temperature check**: The G-code analysis reads a file's temperatures and checks them against your printer's maximums, set in the printer settings.
- **Change the temperatures of a sliced file**: Sliced for PLA but printing in ABS? Select the file and SimplyPrint offers to change its temperatures to the selected filament's. Works for most files.
- **Risky G-code warning**: You are warned before printing a file that contains commands it probably should not. You can still choose to print it.

### Improvements
- **G-code analysis, rebuilt**: About 100 times faster, and it handles files of any size without straining your browser.
- **Positioning check**: If the slicer left out whether movement or extrusion is absolute or relative, SimplyPrint works it out and tells the printer.
- **Slicer shown per file**: Select a file, in Start print or under Files, to see which slicer made it.
- **Slicer**: Quick settings, about 80% less memory use, a few more settings, many bug fixes and an updated standard profile.
- **App notifications with a picture**: Notifications on your phone now include a picture of the print at start, stop, pause and resume, if you have a camera. Tap one to follow the print.
- **More about each file**: Files show their size and estimated print time, how many times they were printed and how often that went well, and the slicer settings when they were sliced in our slicer.

## Security update! 2-factor authentication & more (2021-06-11) https://simplyprint.io/blog/security-update-2-factor-authentication-more/

### New features
- **Two-factor authentication**: Protect your account with a code from an app such as Google Authenticator or Authy, under Security settings.
- **New-login alerts**: Get an email, an app notification or both when your account is accessed from a new location. Choose which under Security settings.

### Improvements
- **Logged-in devices**: Security settings list every device your account is logged in on: device type, country and city, IP address, first and last use.
- **Bot protection on login**: Google reCAPTCHA now guards the login page against brute-force attempts, silently: no pictures to click.

- **Queue in the control panel**: On Advanced and Enterprise plans, a printer's control panel shows its queued items and opens the print queue without going back to the overview.
