This software is garbage, contrary to what anyone recommends don't start with it, it's full of bugs, crashes and lacks sorely needed features. Instead get a fork of the original Slic3r derivative, you will be much better served and avoid frustration. Goodbye Cura, I wonder why do you even exist.

    If it's such garbage, why is Slic3r/PrusaSlicer playing catch-up?

    Why do you think so? Just look the new organic supports, they were very quickly integrated and adopted to the competing product, whereas Cura just cannot get them to work properly, probably because this codebase is such a horrific mess full of code debt nobody can make sense out of it anymore.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
