4.4 Beta Pre-release

This is a pre-release for the Beta of 4.4.0. Due to a major SDK change (7.0.0), a pre-release is made available to allow plugin developers more time to update their plugins.

We have added the following:

• The ContainerTree class provides easy access to which profiles are available for each configuration in Cura.
• QualityManagementModel is expanded to contain functions for duplicating, deleting, etc. of custom profiles.
• MaterialManagementModel is expanded to contain functions for duplicating, deleting, etc. of materials.
• Setting version is incremented to 10.
• Per-extruder container stacks now contain an additional entry: The "intent" profile, meant to indicate how the user intends to use the print: For strength, accuracy, just visual, etc.
• IntentCategoryModel provides a list of the available intent categories.
• IntentModel provides a list of the available intent profiles per intent category.
• A new decorator marks certain things as "API", to mark certain things as considered completely stable for plug-ins to use. These markers have not yet been added to all things that we consider stable to use, though.
• Metadata can now be set per PluginObject, allowing multiple of the same type of PluginObjects to be defined in one plug-in. PluginObjects have a getName function to disambiguate them.

We have removed the following:

• MaterialManager. Use ContainerTree or MaterialManagementModel instead.
• QualityManager. Use ContainerTree or QualityManagementModel instead.
• VariantManager. Use ContainerTree instead.
