Hey, I've added another thing to "Changes to your configuration" and those of you who have already updated may need to check it.

Re: [Emc-users] RELEASED: LinuxCNC 2.5.0
Steve, It's nice to know that the modified manual toolchange macro works with 2.5! I was a little hesitant to upgrade because of that, but now I think I'll upgrade tonight. And of course, thanks to all who were involved with the 2.5 release. All your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Chris & Seb, Thanks!

Charles is exactly right, the ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc2-i386.iso file is the updated Lucid Live CD with LinuxCNC 2.5.0. The "2" after linuxcnc distinguishes it from the EMC 2.4 Live CD.

I did try 2.6 so the downgrade is the issue there. I must be being blind but I cannot see how to get the 2.5 Live CD from any links on linuxcnc.org Home or Downloads.

The new linuxcnc 2.5.0 package will replace all previous 2.4 and 2.5 buildbot packages, as well as all emc2 packages. The upgrade should just work no matter what you have had installed, unless you've used packages from master/2.6 (in which case 2.5.0 is a downgrade you need to do manually).

I have been on master-rt, the 2.6.0-hashnumber builds for about 4 months now, which means I get a fresh build almost every day. I think it is more stable than these atom machines. The last one I bought doesn't seem to be as stable as the first one, and quitting a major app without having to power cycle it is occurring often enough that I am not pointing any fingers at LinuxCNC.

I agree. Thanks for the effort! Dave On 4/1/2012 3:41 PM, Kent A.

[Emc-users] RELEASED: LinuxCNC 2.5.0
LinuxCNC 2.5.0 is released! You will not get an automatic update from EMC 2.4 to LinuxCNC 2.5. To update your Lucid or Hardy machine to 2.5, you need to take a few steps, documented here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpdatingTo2.5 Be sure to check the "Changes to your configuration" section at the bottom of the page. (I also updated the LinuxCNC Live CD to contain 2.5.0 and to receive updates from the new 2.5 repository, but the easiest and fastest way to update an existing install is definitely to follow the instructions above. The updated CD will be available sometime later today.) I want to give my very sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release. All of you who have contributed to documentation, translations, rebranding, new features, and bugfixes should be proud, and I appreciate you all. Also I want to especially thank Seb K, who traveled many hours and has been working with me tirelessly for almost three days solid to get the final glitches out of the rebranding, packaging, and release process. Some of the most important changes in 2.5.0 are: * AXIS: dynamic tabs can embed other applications, including virtual control panels * AXIS: make the gcode readout resizable * AXIS: many speedups in preview generation * AXIS: new OpenGL preview with antialiased fonts * AXIS: optional blending in the program preview can make very complex programs easier to see * AXIS: prompt when homing a joint that's already homed * AXIS: Selectable tool touch off to workpiece or fixture * AXIS: show all offsets and rotation separately in the BIG DRO * AXIS: show G5x and G92 offsets graphically in the preview * AXIS: user-configurable MDI history file * AXIS: A comment (AXIS,notify,message) will print "message" when the preview is generated, instead of just at run-time. * Configs: many configuration updates for Smithy machines * Configs: update motenc sample configs for encoder index * Configs: add filtering (image-to-gcode etc) to hostmot2 samples * Configs: univpwm sample uses new encoder velocity for pid * GladeVCP: a new framework for making virtual control panels with the Glade screen designer * Gremlin: AXIS's program preview is now separated out as gremlin, for use with GladeVCP/Touchy/etc. * HAL: fix rare problem with freqgen output getting stuck "on" * HAL: gearchange component: support up to 32 gears * HAL: make commanded (unaffected by spindle override) spindle speed available on a pin, for gear selection etc. * HAL: make limit3 parameters into pins * HAL: new axis.N.motor-offset pins can be used to detect position loss between homings * HAL: new component bldc_sine: commutation for BLDC with encoder feedback * HAL: new mux16 component * HAL: new time comp, which converts seconds to hr/min/sec * HAL: new watchdog component * HAL: remove deprecated hal_m5i20 driver * HAL: new component for ShuttleXpress USB jog dongle * HAL: support names= options for encoder_ratio, sim_encoder, at_pid, siggen * HAL: a new component, message, to display user messages from HAL * HAL: a new component, multiswitch, to toggle through bits with one button * Halshow: add menu with load/save/exit * Halshow: fix the tree to not cut off after a certain depth * HAL: standardize on maximum hal name length * HALUI: allow direct-value input to spindle and feed overrides and max velocity * HALUI: handle the situation better when many command inputs change simultaneously * Hostmot2: fix a rare problem in stepgen mode setting * Hostmot2: fix stepgen moving VERY slowly when it should have been stopped * Hostmot2: handle failed card registration better * Hostmot2: support for multiplexed encoders like on the 7i48 * Hostmot2: support for onboard diagnostic LEDs * Hostmot2: support for three phase PWM * Hostmot2: improve watchdog reliability and defaults * Interpreter: fixes to always use . for a decimal, no matter the locale * Interpreter: fix G83 peck retract to match fanuc * Interpreter: fix G98/G99 to match fanuc retract planes behavior * Interpreter: fix "run from line" when the start line is between a sub definition and its call * Interpreter: give correct errors when rotary axes are commanded to move in canned cycles * Interpreter: improve arc endpoint radius-mismatch error checking * Interpreter: maintain G5x and G92 offsets separately * Interpreter: make current position including all offsets and in the current program units available in parameters 5420-5428 * Interpreter: make EMC version available in named parameters _vminor, _vmajor * Interpreter: make G92 offset rotated coordinate systems correctly * Interpreter: make more errors translatable * Interpreter: many fixes to allow O-call of subroutines from MDI mode * Interpreter: many new tests in the test suite, including the ability to verify errors * Interpreter: n
