The current plugin version does not work with a new Cura release #10

When a new release of Cura is available, the Tabbed Settings plugin always needs to be updated.

In order for the Tabbed Settings plugin to work, it does quite a bit of "nasty" patching of the original interface. These patches may break the interface when the original interface is changed. So, as a security measure, the plugin checks to see if it has been "approved" for the version of Cura you are using it with.

I normally work hard to have an updated version of the plugin ready during the beta period, so when a new stable release of Cura is available, the plugin update is available in the Marketplace. Because I may not always have time immediately when a Cura beta is released, and because updates to plugins need to be checked and approved by Ultimaker developers, there is always a bit of a delay.

Prereleases (and stable versions) for the plugin can be found here: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-TabbedSettingsPlugin/releases

To install a release from that page, download the .curapackage appropriate for the version of Cura you use, and drop the .curapackage file onto the buildplate in Cura as if you were opening a 3d model. Restart Cura when instructed.

On a related note, I just tested the "v1.0.4-DEV" release from Github, and it's working now with Cura 5.6.0 :)

Awesome plugin BTW, I use it constantly!

Glad you like it, and glad you found the prerelease. A full release should be available from the Marketplace soon; The Cura team must have been busy the past couple of weeks.
