I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the release of 2.8. (And there is no release schedule.)

Simply add the Linuxcnc Buildbot repository for Master to your source list and install it with Synaptic. http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Hildreth" <[email protected]> To: "emc-users" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2017 12:18:44 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Looking for advice on LinuxCNC Version Todd, Thank you for the feedback.
