Slic3r PE configuration updates?

Not sure where this should go, but I just did a configuration update in slic3r. It was 0.34 something and listed a URL to get more information, but the URL was not selectable (in the windows 10 dialog box anyway). Who produces these and where can I find more information about what this is (the change log that was pointed to by URL)? I'm guessing it's tweaking the stock slicer settings for better performance.

Thanks,

I've been thinking about this and I don't think you answered my question. I was asking about the configuration update, not the update to slicer. The version number was 0.34. I think this was updating the configuration settings for particular materials, not changing the slicer software.

The configuration updates live here. However, recent versions of Slic3rPE should prompt you automatically when a new version is available for download and fully automate the process for you. From that page:

Slic3r downloads these setting bundles automatically (unless updating is disabled), and so there should be no need to install them by hand.

Okay, digging through the changelog.txt a couple directories down gave me the info I was looking for. I saw the configuration update without updating the slic3r and wanted to know what was being changed.

Thanks for the info.
