The new v1.2.0.1 of the host software toolchain is available for download.
X2SW Wiki and download pages:
http://github.com/dob71/x2swn/wiki
Changes:
-------------------
Skeinforge
* Added "Disable Retract Within Infill" Dimension option that, disables all retracts within infill printing sections of G-code. It helps to minimize retract thrashing (use it with Comb plugin).
* Fix for yet another crash showing up intermittently depending on diaphragmPeriod and number of layers in the object.
Slic3r
* Upgraded Slic3r to v1.2.5 featuring lots of improvements and multiple material/object printing capabilities (available through "Settings" in plater's toolbar).
* (Re)applied following X2 mods:
- Automatic loading of GUI profiles for slicing from command line;
- RepRap X2/X2V3 printer flavor allowing to completely replace extruder change commands with custom G-code;
- Bridge spacing multiplier option (use 1.1 to have it match Slic3r used-to-be hardcoded defaults);
- Do not bring up save file dialog in GUI mode if output file name is explicitly set in the command line option.
* GUI layout changed to avoid stacking any options horizontally, added explanation what options apply when assigning different filament to second exruder for printing support or infill.
Pronterface
* Integrated the latest (last commit 7-Nov-2014) Printrun code featuring 3D visualization. A lot of bug/crash/broken UI fixes. Some (non-working and/or not-essential) features and UI modes disabled and/or removed.
* Optimized capturing the piped output (Skeinforge slices faster).
* Improved monitoring capabilities for dual extruder systems. Automatic detection of Marlin X2 firmware and use of advanced M105 reporting capabilities.
* Updated x2Profiler to detect compatible profiles and also filter profiles by version string when displaying the profile tree.
* x2Merge now uses combo boxes automatically populated with names of the available alteration G-code files for picking file to insert when switching extruders. A bug fixed for G-code mixing when insert has no corresponding base layers.
Profiles repository
* All the profiles were marked with version number.
* The X2, X2V3 and Marlin generic profiles converted to load properly with v1.2.0.1 of the software.
* All the v1.2.0.1 profiles can remember user-chosen slicer (Skeinforge or Slic3r) through reboots.
* The "advanced" slicing capabilities button that invokes x2Merge in Skeinforge mode, changes to invoke Slic3r plater in Slic3r slicing mode (the plater-generated G-code is saved in temporary file and loaded automatically after Slic3r UI is closed).
Windows installer
* Upgraded drivers pack to one-for-all signed Arduino driver shipped w/ Arduino v1.0.6.

The Slic3r profiles for X2V3 in the online repository have been updated. They now include printer settings for printing in double and mirror modes (i.e. printing the same object with both extruders).
Note that due to a bug the build plate dimensions are not applied correctly when slicing is started directly from the Pronterface UI. The slicing for "x2v3_double" and "x2v3_mirror" printing settings should be done in Slic3r plater UI. Click the <S3rPlater> in the Pronterface, then when Slic3r plater UI appears make sure the "Printer settings" are correct and drag and drop (or use "Add" button to select in the file dialog) the STL file for slicing. If it works correctly the sliced object should be placed in the middle of the left half of the printing plate.
