In your English language documentation, in the section where you offer the pre-patched version of Orca (appimage + windows) your link to https://gitea.it-drui.de/viewit/OrcaSlicer-KX/releases/latest. However there doesn't appear to be a Latest tag, or the link is malformed.

I also do not see the referenced slicer images on the last 3 releases, only slicer profiles.

I have not verified if the same issue exists in the DE language documentation.

I'd offer to create a pull request for resolution, however given my inability to find the referenced slicer executables / appimages, I wanted to raise an issue first

Once again, thank you for this amazing work!

Good catch, thanks! The release was flagged as prerelease, and Gitea’s /releases/latest endpoint skips prereleases (returns 404), which is why the link looked broken.

I just unset the prerelease flag on v2.4.0-dev-kx1 — the link now redirects correctly to the release with the Linux AppImage and Windows ZIP attached:

https://gitea.it-drui.de/viewit/OrcaSlicer-KX/releases/latest

The slicer binaries live in a separate repo (viewit/OrcaSlicer-KX) — the KX-Bridge-Release repo here only ships the bridge itself plus the printer profiles. That separation is intentional: OrcaSlicer is AGPL-3.0 and a different project (a build of SoftFever/OrcaSlicer with three open PRs applied), KX-Bridge is GPL-3.0.

No PR needed, the README link itself was fine — only the release flag. Closing once you confirm it works on your end.

Is your gitea instance setup for email notifications? I have to keep checking on Issues and any other statuses, even after subscribing. I'd love to get notifications so I dont miss responding in a timely manner to your efforts.
