LinuxCNC 2.8.4 released
Sep 20, 2022
LinuxCNC 2.8.4 has been released.
This release, unusually soon after the 2.8.3 release, is mainly to address a side effect of the ongoing chip shortage. It has become difficult to build most of the popular Mesa hardware interface cards. One card that is reasonably available, the 7i96S is not supported by LinuxCNC 2.8.3. This release adds support for the 7i96S to the 2.8 branch.We also welcome a new language to the translations, a Czech translation is now available for Gmoccappy.Also included are two bugfixes for Gmoaccapy.Users (or potential users) of the 7i96S and users (especially Czech users) of Gmoccapy are encouraged to update.This release contains contributions from:
