We have found and fixed the issues with Ruida USB communications. Enough testing has been done that we're comfortable releasing this as stable. Dozens of engraving and cutting jobs have been run, from both Mac and PC, without problems.
In addition, this version includes a rewrite of the scanning engine, eliminating the occasional stray lines that appeared, and from this version forward the "Check for Updates" feature in the help menu will work.
Lots of other small things are included, and Windows installers now come with a change log if you're interested in following the changes as new versions come out.
As always, the current version is available on our Trial Page
