Releases: winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender
v2.1.10
This release is focusing on the visualizer performance using a new rendering engine - which will enable higher frame rates at lower CPU. We now also use a library for generating and rendering CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) objects. This will in the future enable us to add richer visualizations.
While monitoring different forums, one of the bigger pain points for new users is how to zero each axis and the confusion about machine position being negative. An attempt to resolve this has been made to move the reset buttons and hide the machine position in the DRO. The machine position can be enabled by right clicking and choose "Show machine position".
The visualizer has now gotten a toolbar where to be able to easily toggle the different renderable objects:
The editor has gotten some more hints and warnings. Many people have G28 included in their gcode, as a beginner it is very common that a home position has been set which will make the machine hurdle to an unknown position. This is a warning that is now displayed in the gcode editor:
There have been cases where no unit code has been given in the gcode which will run it in whatever state the controller was in when starting. This error will now be displayed:
There have been instances where users include GRBL system commands in the gcode. This is discouraged as these commands are not included in the controller planner buffer which may cause errors. This error will now be displayed in those cases:

v2.1.0
This is release is focused on updating the Netbeans framework and Java version, which means that as of now Java 16 or higher is required to build and run UGS. We will also activate the FlatLAF theme by default which will make the UI consistent across different operating systems.
This version will now also build into packages for Linux ARM64 and MacOSX ARM64.
