Re: [Emc-users] LinuxCNC 2.8.0 is released

2020-09-10 Thread Alan Condit 
Andy,
Thanks for all the hard work on the release of LinuxCNC 2.8.0. It seemed at 
times that it was never going to happen. So many other changes intervening: EOL 
for Wheezy, introduction of new linux versions, almost cessation of work on 
RTAI, introduction of RT Preempt, etc. I felt your frustration at times but you 
hung in there. Once again, thanks to you and all the others who worked on it.
Alan

Thank you for all the work that went into this.  I am a retired
