On Monday, April 02, 2012 09:24:27 AM Mark Wendt did opine: I'd also like to add my thanks to all those who worked on this and delivered! Mark I'll 2nd those thoughts although I haven't yet tried 2.5.0. 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. Quitting any app can lock it up, and will about 10% of the time.

MANY THANKS to all those that worked on this. I looked over the changes and saw several that may change things I've been grumpy about.

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.

If you could add a note in the release notes about PPMC, that velocity estimation on the UPC board is added, I'd appreciate it. The instructions for the update is great, average users should be able to follow this first time without handholding.
