Multi-Camera Support: You can now connect and utilize multiple cameras simultaneously.
Quick Nesting: Added a native tool to tightly arrange and nest parts to save material (supports text and grouped objects).
Font Management Dialog: Dedicated menu to browse, filter, and preview up to 4000 fonts.
Undo History Dialog: A visual timeline of your project edits that saves and restores its position/size.
Tangent Circle Generator: Easily create circles perfectly tangent to other geometry.
Project Templates: Save layouts as baseline template files to speed up your workflow.
New Scissor Tool Operations: Trimming sections or holding Shift while clipping now correctly passes segments to the active layer.
Laser & Device Control
Custom G-Code Revamp: Added editable blocks for headers, G20/G21 modals, escaped text sequences, support for M73 time estimates, and custom rotary variables.
New Protocol Support: Expanded compatibility for Duet / RepRap flavors, and FluidNC.
Dual Laser Support: Ability to uniquely name laser sources when dual heads are enabled.
Split Units: Control Units (how you interact with the software) are now separated from Device Units (what the machine uses natively).
🎨 User Interface & Experience Updates
High DPI / Retina Scaling: Major overhaul to prevent text, icons, and menus from blurring or growing too large on high-resolution screens.
Compact Workspace Layout: Reduced the physical screen footprint of the Cut Settings, Galvo Settings, and Laser/Cuts windows to leave more room for your design workspace.
Console Themes: The console panel now inherits colors directly from your overall application theme and uses the Consolas font where available.
Expanded Tooltips & Warnings: Added precise warning indicators for things like zero tool diameters, 3D slices with a single pass, or trying to calibrate an axis while Rotary mode is enabled.
🛠️ Major Bug Fixes
Geometry & Drawing Fixes
Text Distortion: Fixed an issue where ungrouping text that was bent or wrapped along a path would distort or completely lose its bend.
Node Editing: Resolved an undo error where click-dragging or deleting multiple nodes would fail to register correctly in the history.
Shape Mirrors: Ungrouping an array with mirrored objects no longer strips away the mirror transform.
Open Shapes: Tiny line removals no longer accidentally open up fully closed vector geometry.
Camera Wizard Fixes
Fixed various memory leaks and unexpected application crashes in the New Camera Wizard.
Corrected calibration math so the alignment pattern wizard accurately converts zone sizes between Metric and Imperial units.
Resolved high-resolution network camera streams (like Thunder Vision) swapping network ports or failing to load.
Device Connectivity & Safety
GRBL Adjustments: Reverted the LightBurn GRBL protocol back to a standard "GRBL-ish" format to maintain seamless machine connectivity.
Framing Safety Locks: Users are now locked out from toggling the laser FIRE button while the laser is actively framing or busy.
Fixed Mac-specific freezing and crashing bugs that occurred strictly during framing commands.
🔍 Easter Eggs & Miscellaneous
Jokes in the changelog are now explicitly formatted in italics to assist the humorless.
Significantly reduced risk of death.
Ezcad2 Galvo Z Control will return in Avengers: Doomsday.
Mood sensor added. Will generate more bugs when the user is angry.
Resolved ALL ongoing legal issues from the 6th incident.
As always, if something looks wrong in Preview, believe Preview. It has seen things.
