This is the official release of OrcaSlicer V1.9.0. In this release, we have fixed numerous bugs and added several new features. V1.9.0 introduces many new features and improvements compared to V1.8.1.

Please check the ALPHA and BETA release notes for the complete list of new features.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• Due to major changes in the embossment feature, OrcaSlicer V1.9.0 is unable to edit text embossments in projects created with V1.8.1 or older versions, or with BambuStudio. The model with embossment can still be properly loaded and sliced, but the text will no longer be editable. If you need to edit text, please use OrcaSlicer V1.8.1
