UCCNC version 1.2049 vs 1.2106

[Haik]

Does the new release UCCNC 1.2049 have any or all (or none) of the features and fixes that Test version 1.2106 has?

Thx!

1.2049 is the stable release

1.2106 is the development release.

If you are running a business, it is advised to use the stable release. If you are a hobby user and like to live life on the edge and are happy to discover the occasional glitch where something does not work as it did in a previous version or does not work the way you think it does then the development version is the one for you and helps the community out in developing uccnc.

The development version filters down to the stable version when the bug reports drop off. I think the major element being tested is still g41,42 and not made it to the stable release yet

1.2049 does not have any new features which are available in the higher version number test version releases.
The 1.2049 is the same as 1.2047 and 1.2048 stable release version, the only difference is that the UCR201 plugin was added and we've made a workaround to avoid Defender and F-secure false virus alert to trigger.

Thanks, that answered my question. I was curious about the feature release policy (or plan) wrt production's minor incremental releases. Also, thanks Rob for your response which helped too.

We can't really plan that. The test release only goes to production release when we see that it contains no bugs and we can decide on that if for enough time no users report any issues and if we also not finding any issues. So, it is hard to plan, because we do not know if we made any bugs with new developments, there is always a possibility.
The latest 1.2106 also contains a few minor issues and so it will also not go to production release, but a new 1.2107 test release will be out soon.

I found a bug in 1.2106 with Macros.
I have a Macro that pulses Pin 14 Port 1, 2 times with a 1000ms delay. This macro is working fine on 1.2048. I didn't realize there was a 1.2049. I will go and install it and test it.
The code looks something like this

Code: Select all

exec.Setoutpin(1,14);
exec.Wait(1000);
exec.Clroutpin(1,14);
exec.Wait(1000);
exec.Setoutpin(1,14);
exec.Wait(1000);
exec.Clroutpin(1,14);


This is working fine on V1.2048, but on V1.2106, many other output pins are changing and at the end of the macro, pin14 port 1 is not LOW, which it should be.
I'll let you know shortly if it is still OK in V1.2049

Yes, we know about this. The issue is in 1.2106 test version and it is only a problem with the UC100. This new issue was created because we had to change many things around the pins toggling function because of the new M10.x/M11.x functions.
We've already fixed this issue though, but it was not released yet, because 1.2107 is not out yet, but will be soon.

I've tested it in V1.2049 and it works fine. Below is a link to a video showing the problem.
The macro in this test video is

Code: Select all

//M1100 Test Macro
exec.Wait(5000);
exec.Setoutpin(1,14);
exec.Wait(1000);
exec.Clroutpin(1,14);
exec.Wait(1000);
exec.Setoutpin(1,14);
exec.Wait(1000);
exec.Clroutpin(1,14);

Sorry. I saw you response just after I submitted my reply. Thanks for the update.
