 Additional features
 ===================
 
 Klipper supports many standard 3d printer features:
 
-* Klipper implements the "pressure advance" algorithm for extruders.
-  When properly tuned, pressure advance reduces extruder ooze.
-
 * Works with Octoprint. This allows the printer to be controlled using
   a regular web-browser. The same Raspberry Pi that runs Klipper can
   also run Octoprint.

   multiple Z steppers then Klipper can also level by independently
   manipulating the Z steppers. Most Z height probes are supported,
