I don't think that anything has actually changed.
The tool table is described here. I admit that it took some finding.

That was the page I was looking for, thanks Andy. It also confirms there's
no such critter as a ball nosed tool. Is my memory fading? ISTR the table
at one point back in the fog of about 2003 that it had a box for the tools
tip radius. To the next right of its diameter. Now apparently used for
front and rear angles of a lathe tool only. Since I've never seen another
controller, if it wasn't in LinuxCNC, I sure don't recall where I did
see it.
Thanks Andy.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
