There's a lot of new stuff here, so I'll try to keep this brief:

Additions:

  • Embedded images in Illustrator files are now supported

  • Camera alignment now includes Scale option for larger bed systems
  • Camera will now capture much more bed area
  • Added an N-sided regular polygon tool
  • Holding 'Shift' when framing will now turn laser on with Laser Fire power setting (useful for framing with diode lasers)
  • Computing inner / outer shapes is now at least 2x faster, often more
  • Added "Offset Both" in the offset options
  • Can now edit shape properties for multiple objects at once
  • Disabled Scanning Offsets in preview (much cleaner)
  • Exposed Frequency parameter for Ruida 644x systems
  • Added option to use M03/M05 for Marlin controllers
  • Added option to use G0 for overscan moves on Grbl / Smoothie

Major fixes:

  • Fixed Ruida scanning bug that caused missing lines and image corruption
