« AXIS 1.2a1 release | Newest entries in downloads | AXIS 1.1.2 source release »

I am pleased to announce the next alpha release of AXIS, version 1.2a2. Several new features have been added since the previous alpha release.
  • A portuguese translation has been contributed by Daniel Scheeren
  • In emc2, the backplot is now colored according to the ongoing movement type. Rapid moves are green, straight feeds are red (as before), and arcs are magenta.
  • AXIS can now be built against an installed version of emc2. This can be autodetected, or forced with the environment variable EMC_RUN_INSTALLED.
  • AXIS can now skip installing its own version of bwidget, and use the system version. If your operating has an appropriate version of bwidget available, install it and set the environment variable USE_SYSTEM_BWIDGET to a non-empty value
  • Support for 'simpleinstall' has been withdrawn. This feature was created to support users of bdi 4.xx. Now that instructions to rebuild the version of emc on bdi4 are on the emc wiki, this is no longer necessary.
