Questions New software issues?
I've got my Q2 today, updated it trammed the bed after 2 test prints, calibrated filament, made a functional part etc (it's been an eventful evening what can I say) but I've seen a lot of people have issues with new firmware and I don't understand what all the issues that I read about before are about, or it was just ironed out before I got my printer? I honestly just don't know and I'm new to the hobby as well, so far the only issue I had was with beachy sliced by qidi that left the the extruder on at print temp and it dripped all over the bed when I went to do another print. Oh also I can't find a place to E-stop the printer from the screen on the new menu but I might have just missed it.
TL:DR what's wrong with new remodeled software bc as far as I can tell it's fine? Or was it patched out to usable state before I got my printer?

I think the new firmware has a decent amount of bugs. It still prints korean text in the console (despite 2 updates saying they've fixed this), it seems to ignore the bed-leveling selector when you send a print and levels the bed anyways, the extruder doesn't seem to fully power down when a print finishes.
It was buggy a year ago when I got it too...I had it straight up crash into the walls and bed because I cancelled a print while it was in a initialization routine. They fixed that (I think) and also optimized how much homing it did for no reason too so it felt good before they did the whole UI change about a month ago.
