MachStdMill release announcements

[DaveCVI]

Hi,
When I announced beta 6, I had thought that the issues in mach re probing and SS were fixed up.
I guess i jumped the gun a bit, so I'm letting people know that the mach issues with Probing and SSs are not yet all resolved.

As of Mach 3.43.19, probing with a SS can still result in bad movements and hence possible crunched probe tips.
 
I'll provide an update when I hear more.

Update: Mach 3.43.22 fixes the SS probing issues.
Verified on my test setup and the setup of the user that first experienced the issue.

Hi,
MachStdMill Beta 10 (version 0.3.14) has been sent for posting to the Machsupport.com download page.

Beta 10 moves the min mach version to 3.43.22.

The changes in Beta 10 correct several minor MSM issues - see the release notes.

Hi,
I have sent MSM v0.4.3 (Beta 12) off for posting on the Mach site.

This is minor rev # change so the installer will require you to uninstall Beta 11 (v0.3.15) before installing Beta 12.

The highlights are:
This release has several minor fixes to user reported issues in the probing lib.
In addition some internal re-factoring was done of entry points into the probing lib; There should not be any user observable changes resulting from this.
The RH/NRH LED has been tweaked yet again for appearance.
An obscure installer bug was fixed (only caused trouble if going form an old alpha rev to a newer beta rev).
Fixed a bug were the length and diam wear DROs were swapped on the Touch page.

The release notes have more detailed info.

Hi all,
A bug managed to creep into RC3 (a VRD error on MSM load), it has been fixed.

RC4 is now available - the only change from RC3 to RC4 was the bug fix.
