 In order to compile CuraEngine, either use CMake or start a project in your preferred IDE.

 Installing Protobuf
 -------------------
 1. Be sure to have libtool installed.
-2. Download protobuf from https://github.com/google/protobuf/ (download ZIP and unZIP at desired location, or clone the repo) The protocol buffer is used for communication between the CuraEngine and the GUI.
-3. Before installing protobuf, change autogen.sh : comment line 18 to line 38 using '#'s. This removes the dependency on gtest-1.7.0.
-4. Run autogen.sh from the protobuf directory:

 Running
 =======
 Other than running CuraEngine from a frontend, such as Ultimaker/Cura, one can run CuraEngine from the command line.
 For that one needs a settings JSON file, which can be found in the Ultimaker/Cura repository.
+Note that the structure of the json files has changed since 2.1. In the corresponding branch of the Cura repository you can find how the json files used to be structured.
+
 An example run for an UM2 machine looks as follows:
 * Navigate to the CuraEngine directory and execute the following
 ```
-./build/CuraEngine slice -v -j ../Cura/resources/machines/dual_extrusion_printer.json -o "output/test.gcode" -e1 -s infill_line_distance=0 -e0 -l "/model_1.stl" -e1 -l "fully_filled_model.stl"

 ```
 
 Run `CuraEngine help` for a general description of how to use the CuraEngine tool.

+* The ZFillFunction (custom callback function) has had its parameters 
+  changed. 
+* Curves demo removed (temporarily).
+* Deprecated functions have been removed. 
+
+v6.1.5 (26 February 2014) Rev 460
+* Improved the joining of output polygons sharing a common edge 
+  when those common edges are horizontal.
+* Fixed a bug in ClipperOffset.AddPath() which would produce
+  incorrect solutions when open paths were added before closed paths.
+* Minor code tidy and performance improvement
+
+v6.1.4 (6 February 2014)
+* Fixed bugs in MinkowskiSum
+* Fixed minor bug when using Clipper.ForceSimplify.
