I'm pleased to announce the next bugfix release in the emc 2.3 series, emc 2.3.4. A number of problems with the last release have been fixed.
The new packages are now available for Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" in the package repositories. Packages for Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake" should follow within the next few days. If you have already installed an earlier 2.3.x version of emc, this will be offered as an update. If you still have 2.2.8 or earlier installed, 2.3.4 will not be available as an automatic upgrade. For more information and installation/upgrade instructions, please see http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?UpdatingTo2.3 git users can get this release by checking out the v2.3.4 tag (or follow bugfixes on v2_3_branch). Source tarballs are available from the package repository: http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy/emc2.3/source Many thanks to the people who have contributed bugfixes for this release. Changes since 2.3.3: * Fix two constant surface speed bugs * Allow M66 timeout to be a fractional number * 'comp --print-modinc' prints the location of Makefile.modinc, which eases building components that use Makefiles * stepconf: make the screen fit on 800x600; use expander widgets to access some advanced items. * fix cooltool configs by adding missing emc.nml reference. * serport: don't print errors at startup * fix hang for M1xx code that cannot be executed (SF#2836077) * rotatekins: Fix forward kinematics (SF#2870683) * fix saving the direction setup time (SF#2870131) * improve initial threading synchronization * hostmot2: sample configuration improvements: the line required for home-to-index is now shown in the samples * smithy: include sample configuration files for a number of smithy cnc systems (1240, 6130, 622, 924) * fix spurious extra G0 in the active gcode readouts The version number of the package is actually 2.3.4-1. The original 2.3.4 package, which was only available for a few minutes, had an error which caused it to require additional Python-related packages be installed.
