Ok, good news on the testing front, I think I've finally eliminated the little acceleration overages by making TP_TIME_EPSILON smaller, from 10^-7 to 10^-10 or so. Properly initializing the ABC and UVW parts of the blend arc seem to have eliminated the graphical glitches as well.
With these last issues being fixed, I've moved development over to the "beta" branch here: https://github.com/robEllenberg/linuxcnc-mirror/tree/circular-blend-arc-beta The "beta" status means that it's been tested on multiple builds and shows no apparent constraint violations or crashes. My top priority for the near future will be squashing any bugs on this branch, though if there's time I might add some additional features.
