New Trajectory Planner - Testers/programs wanted

I am just using the new TP without constantly comparing to the old one, and so far I haven't noticed problems with toolpath generation.

I really think this is one of the best improvements to LinuxCNC in the 2.6 release. :cheer:

Not to sound lazy but I've read most of this page and am curious on the best way to test the new planner out (get a build or so forth). All I ever do is 3d profiling and I think I could really be shocked on how much faster things may become.

Any testing is good testing! A good way to get started is just to try running one of your programs, and see what difference the new TP makes. It would also be helpful to know if there are any more subtle effects, like if you notice a change in surface finish, or how the machine sounds when running. Also, if you have a configuration other than the traditional XYZ, it would be great to know how well it works there.

I sort of worded my question wrong there.
I was wondering what the current instructions are to get a working build.
The reason I'm interested is I run a small 3 axis machine that's currently set to 120 IPM, 50 IPS^2 or so, and it runs 50K to 100K line gcode files for 3d profiling. So any speed increase would be great since I never do 2d work.

All improved. The slowing down - speeding up of the regular TP is reduced, which improves surface finish. Machine sounds the same.
Here is a picture of a part made with your TP. Surface finish looks pretty decent to me for a simple BF20/G0704 mill.

I want to give it a shot on my files, it's just I need to get it built, and my knowledge of Linux isn't great.
I'll torture a build I have on virtual box that I use for Gcode testing and see if I can get it working.
