Thanks Andy for taking care of the release! I do not see any reason to support 32 bit, any x86 cpu designed in the last 12 years supports 64 bit. I also would like to include my pocket fix in 2.8, and am willing to support it. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/528 <https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/528> It only needs another minor fix(and documentation update), and if there are no objections I will rebase and merge it. It does not interfer with any existing tool changer configuration. I also vote for having the reverse run included. > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
