I'm pleased to announce emc 2.4.3, a new release of emc2 with a
number of bugs fixed.
The new packages are available for Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" in the
package repositories. If you installed 2.4.0, this will be presented as
an upgrade. If you have 2.3.5 or earlier, it will not automatically be
installed as an upgrade. For more information and installation/upgrade
instructions, please see
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?UpdatingTo2.4
There are also experimental packages for Ubuntu 10.04. Because of a
flaw in the 2.4.3 package for Ubuntu 10.04, the package for 10.04 is
numbered 2.4.3.1. For more details about this experimental release,
please see
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Ubuntu10.04PackageNotes
Git users can get this release by checking out the v2.4.3 tag, or follow
bugfixes on the v2.4_branch. Source tarballs are available from the
package repository, http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy/emc2.4/source
Many thanks to everyone who helped us with reports, information, or code
