![Main](https://community.advfirmwares.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/722a94db6c61bf423329e9582e89a3a3460066f2.png) As announced on [ADVi3++ Community in January](https://community2.advi3pp.com/t/happy-2021-and-some-news/), version 5 is in development. In fact, since January, I have made great progress. The development version is now in phase with the latest release of Marlin (version 2.0.7.2) and all planned features are implemented. I am now in the final test/debugging phase. I plan to do this during April and release version 5 somewhere in May. Here are the new features or changes in version 5: - Based on Marlin 2.x branch - Direct editing of values on the LCD panels - Disabling of LCD panel beeping (it already works in version 4.0.6 for some panels, but not all) - A better support of Advanced pausing (M600) - Replacement of Jerk by Junction deviation (new feature of Marlin 2.x) - Better baby stepping - Estimation of printing time - Unification of BLTouch pre-version 3 and version 3.x (i.e. only 1 binary for all BLTouches) - A tool to compensate X-axis twist when using BL-Touch - A new setup screen when you reset settings - A new screen to help you diagnosis BLTouch problems - A better way to detect when there is a hardware problem between the LCD panel and the mainboard. - Thermal Runaway control will now be mandatory - Less SRAM memory usage - A tools (i.e. microSD image) to reformat the LCD panel - Several small changes in different screens Again, thank you all for your support especially those who are supporting ADVi3++ for more than two years. It is so incredible. Regards Sebastien ---

Iโ€™m looking forward to this update ๐Ÿ™‚ I can also see where the new X-Axis twist compensation tool is going to help a number of users including myself. This was pain to fix as itโ€™s hardware, not software that causes it, but having the software compensate is a major bonus for those of us who have had the twist. Are you moving levelling out of control? The icon looks better ๐Ÿ™‚ Let us know when your ready for wider testing out in the world. Ray ---

A quick update of my progress so far: - I currently have two annoying bugs that need to be fixed before being able to publish a Beta version. - The first bug is related to the way I detect if the printer is busy or not. This is important to be sure to send commands at the right time. Otherwise, they can overlap. What I am doing is working most of the time, but in (not so) rare cases, it does not and the printer becomes crazy. - The second bug is related to a new feature of ADVi3++: X-Twist compensation. It is a little like the bed compensation but is related to the movement of the X-Axis. And for the moment, I am not happy with the results. So I want to fix this also before publishing a Beta version. The very last steps are often difficult. I will continue to inform you when I have news.
