Re: [Emc-developers] [Emc-commit] 2.6: Merge branch '2.6' of ssh://norb...@git.linuxcnc.org/git/linuxcnc.git into 2.6

2014-04-13 Thread Chris Radek
Hey all, this was an incorrect merge of master into the 2.6 branch. I used push --force to revert 2.6 to where it was before the merge. This means if you pulled the 2.6 branch in about the last hour, your next pull will not be a fast-forward, and you may have to use git pull --force or similar.

Hallo, I am only a GUI programer, and while coding gmoccapy, some time I got very frustrated, because of the unit handling in the different linuxcnc parts. I.e. why is it not possible to give the grid size to gremlin in metric units? It will only accept imperial values. I did also make some g
