Brian has fixed some of the long standing lathe issues. All is not done yet but much is. Softlimits now work, toolpath display had some bugs fixed, G53 has been fixed, some tweaks to tool offsets and some other things that don't come right to mind. Suffice it to say mach lathe is getting some needed attention.
The fixes I mention are in progress, some complete some almost done. They are not in the development version yet, except softlimits, that is in the current version.
I am tickled.
