This one took a while. The biggest change is that the camera lens and alignment wizards have been completely re-written, making the process much simpler to follow. There's no more chessboard capture either - you now use your laser to mark a calibration pattern onto a piece of material to align the camera, making it much more precise, and a lot easier.
There have been a number of new additions, and a lot of bug fixes, so bear with us:
Additions:
- Transparent PNGs now keep their transparency, and still work correctly when tracing, negating, and dithering
- Ruida devices now have full Z-axis support
- Older Grbl firmware (1.1e or earlier) now supported
- There's a new button to save the preview image
- AI importing ignores zero-length objects, or "curves" that are actually straight lines (helps with duplicate removal)
- Delete Duplicates has been improved for imported AI files
- Added user-programmable macros to the console for gcode users
- Added "Mirror across a line" feature
- Frame / O-Frame with "Cut Selected" now frames only the current selection
- Node edit mode now highlights the first point in a shape (prep for specifying the cut start)
- French, German, and Dutch translations (still ongoing)
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a crash when importing PDF / AI files with embedded images
- Fixed a bug where tracing very light images didn't work
- Fixed a crash when trying to import binary DXFs
- Fixed a comms issue with some Ruida controllers when framing
- Fixed bugs when framing after cutting on gcode devices
- Cancelling "Open project" now actually cancels.
- "Fire Laser" button is now auto-disabled when starting a job
- Perforation settings are now properly saved
- DXFs with scaled / rotated block insert references are now supported
- SVG files with 'T'-style quadratic curves are now supported
- Lots of numeric displays were updated to properly support Inch mode
- GCode in international locales now correctly emits without commas
- Fixed a "sometimes" bug with GCode precision in Inch mode
- Fixed an issue where changing from inch to mm with a cut selected could alter the stored speed value
- Fixed a bug when joining a line and a curve where the curve would shoot to the origin
