The most recent bugfix in the new trajectory planner was yesterday. It looks like rotary axes didn't work right before that. Other recent changes have fixed incorrect threading behavior. It has not seen wide use on a variety of real machines. It is simply not ready to be in the stable release yet. > Time and effort wasted getting yet another 2.6 out rather than > actually We've previously fallen into the trap before of waiting for "just one more feature" to stabilize before releasing the good work we already have. 2.6 has some wonderful new stuff, and if you don't need it, that's fine, but your needs are not universal. You are wrong that the 2.6 work is a waste of time. Here is what I do know for sure: if the new planner is important to you, you SHOULD BE TESTING IT to make sure it's ready for 2.7. Since you are obviously affected by current planner limitations, doing testing in your environment would not only help YOU immediately, but would help everyone have a more stable 2.7 release. It may also help the 2.7 release come sooner. You have easy access to this code. It has never been easier to test master builds, now that buildbot makes packages automatically (which is, by the way, another thing that Seb, who you accuse of wasting time and effort, has done for you and the project.)
