I think that one of the ways to re-ignite LinuxCNC is to pull some of the
changes that were done in Machinekit back into LinuxCNC. However, some
(maybe all) of those changes were done with no thought to release
versioning. That being said, those changes were important to some of the
former active development members. I don’t know if we could look at the
changes and possibly merge them into a “3.0” release.
I believe some of the things that were done there were to
enable parts of LinuxCNC to run on different nodes over the
net. This required all communication to be done through
zero mq.
Zero mq looks to be quite neat for this, but I gather the
work involved was VERY substantial,
and apparently, it was never finished. The desire was to
enable work cells where multiple machines and robots would
be working in the same volume without interference.
