===Cura 2.6.66 || Release Date: 1/15/2018 ===
Cura LulzBot Edition version 2.6.66 contains firmware standardized for use with all LulzBot Mini 3D Printers, and contains important bug fixes. However, once your firmware has been updated to 1.1.5.70, GCode files sliced with earlier versions of Cura LE will no longer be compatible and will have to be re-sliced using the latest version of Cura LE.
We recommend using the latest firmware included within Cura LulzBot Edition to maximize long-term compatibility. Users that need to use existing GCode files can restore compatible firmware (1.1.5.64 or below) through Legacy Cura LulzBot Edition v21.08.

* Adjusted flow rate for flexible materials on Aerostruders
Display
* Added final print timer

===Cura 2.6.66 || Release Date: 1/15/2018 ===
Cura LulzBot Edition version 2.6.66 contains firmware standardized for use with all LulzBot Mini 3D Printers, and contains important bug fixes. However, once your firmware has been updated to 1.1.5.70, GCode files sliced with earlier versions of Cura LE will no longer be compatible and will have to be re-sliced using the latest version of Cura LE.
We recommend using the latest firmware included within Cura LulzBot Edition to maximize long-term compatibility. Users that need to use existing GCode files can restore compatible firmware (1.1.5.64 or below) through Legacy Cura LulzBot Edition v21.08.
Firmware - 1.1.5.70
* Adjusted wipe height for LulzBot Minis
* Increase tx buffer
* Adjusted PID settings for Aerostruders to increase stability
* Change Baud Rate to 250000 for Minis for better communication
-- If using a different host, be sure to update your settings
* Update probe positioning to avoid end stop collision
Start/End Gcode
* Adjusted wipe location for Mini
* Added re-prime end gcode to Aerostruders to prevent die swell
Material and Filament Profiles
* Added experimental material category
-- These included base profiles are not refined, but are a good starting point
* Fixed new profiles being associated to incorrect material
* Adjusted flow rate for flexible materials on Aerostruders
Display
* Added final print timer

===Cura 2.6.63 || Release Date: 12/22/17===
Firmware - 1.1.5.64

* Updated probing locations on washers
* Prevents v3 dual extruder from re-homing x/y during print
* Change filament function added for E1 and E2 on dual extruders
* Raise head during homing to prevent crash on v3 dual extruder and Mini
* Estep settings now increment by a full step
* Fixed resume bug after pausing through LCD
Start Gcode Changes
* TAZ 6 start gcode modified so wiping does not trigger endstop
-- Fixes need to power cycle between prints
* Mini start gcode adjusted to account for shorter travel distance in X of previous versions
-- Fixes mid air printing
-- Fixes the need to power cycle between prints
* Dual v3 Start Gcode has been updated to take into account Marlin Coordinate Shift
Filament Profiles
* Push Plastics HIPS added
* PC+PBT Push Plastics Added
CuraLE Repo

-- No longer duplicates every quality profile when adding new material
-- Can now edit custom materials after creation
Cura Engine
- Added first layer initial flow rate to compensate for various filament die swell
CuraLE Post Processing
* Added plug in for user written post processing scripts (Submitted by FieldOfView)
Uranium
* Fixed rotation issue with reset button
* Fixed issue with OpenGL 4.1 shaders
* Fixed issue with Dual Extruder slicing pulling incorrect temperature
