Thoughts about the new Cura

[neotko 1,417]

Also is not hard to find at all...

Guys, don't worry about the beta. The final release is very close I think. I wouldn't be surprised to see it next week but this does not mean it will be next week. The new Cura is officially announced for July. So there are 31 possible dates minus the weekends.

[nallath 1,120]

We're close. Very close. I expect (and note the expect, this is not a date set in stone) it to be released in +- 2 weeks.

Funny ... it seems marketing decided it's ready today ..... why listen to a developer

 

The software is incredibly popular and very versatile–and tomorrow it gets even better. At 9 AM CEST July 1st, Ultimaker will be launching the New Cura.

What did we do this time?

Obviously we wouldn't release it unless we got 'the green light' that it is ready to go.

Maybe @Nallath's estimation was a bit off.

[nallath 1,120]

As far as I know we were supposed to launch a open beta first. We only had a closed beta with 25 ish people testing it. That will catch a lot of the bugs, but not all of them.

[ultiarjan 1,223]

We'll it seems it's not ready ....

After setup I get the "Installation complete" "setup was completed succesfully".

But it will not run, message "Errors in 'Cura.exe'

I'm on windows7,

Here the log file:

Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "cura_app.py", line 8, in

 File "c:\dev\uranium\UM\Application.py", line 326, in getInstance

 File "c:\dev\cura\cura\CuraApplication.py", line 64, in __init__

 File "c:\dev\python34\lib\configparser.py", line 937, in __getitem__

KeyError: 'general'

And you should make a very clear statement on the installation page which Cura to use in which case, and what's ready and not ready in the new cura. You should provide guidance... as it's published now many users who should better stick to the old cura for now will download it anyhow...

Also adding "new cura" in the naming would be practical.

uh oh. Not an other UM forum release with errors in Cura this time!

Also, really? Captcha on download? Are you guys getting lots of spam downloads?

EDIT: also, windows 8 is giving the installation file the, uhoh, might be harmful treatment.

I'm sure people will not install it because of that, either because they dont trust it, or because they simply can't find the damn button to.

hm, more strange news:

Did someone press the PANIC reverse button?

[nallath 1,120]

Well, the Linux version is the wrong one. So yeah, this is why I thought there was going to be an open beta before shipping it to the world. The latest roadmap I saw had an open beta in it, but it could be that it was scrapped to get a faster release.

Error here on Win8 too.

It says see log file, which wasn't created

Edit: Run as Admin created a log

Remove the configuration file. You guys have had the beta, which causes problems (appearantly)

About the captcha, we had the suspicion yes. Hopefully you are not too inconvenienced

About the notification, wasn't this always the case that it was developed by a uncertified developer?.. or whatever the official term is?

We are also uploading the old versions for those users who want to look into them.

Keeping our archives up to date. You shouldn't receive a notification about that, we will stop doing so until the notification is turned off

edit, ok that might be a thing. Ill test that

Same error for me

Can you point me to it. I tried to find it in the usual places but no cigar

are you sure, just installed in a win7 VM, that also has 15.05.93 and 15.05.97 and it starts without the error ...

It is "working" as expected on OS X, FYI. Still buggy, but working.

I still haven't used it to print anything since I never use SD for printing.

Could you report the issues you have with it?

Saving to file & USB printing should work.

I'm on Win8. Can't find that location

I'm available on IRC chat for fast chat in comparison to this slow chat

[xisle 34]

I have only ever seen a "Save to Disk" option. Never a "Print" option.

Issue #74 and #76 on github are still present (#76 was just created).
