v1.8.7

This update fixes some critical issues in 1.8.5 and 1.8.6:

• Fixes an issue that failed to start Electron app due to a side effect of commit c9c78d9 (8a1a94b, resolves #102)
  • Affected releases: 1.8.5 and 1.8.6
• Resolves an issue in 1.8.6 that didn't handle the error event reported by Smoothie parser (d3705dd, closes #100)
• Controller and workflow enhancements (ee25784)
  • Disable Run button in Alarm state
  • Keep workflow in a running state if the controller state is not updated in time. This may happen when using a character-counting streaming protocol to stream a tiny G-code program to Grbl.

v1.8.6

Adds preliminary support for Smoothieware (bbbce43, resolves #94)

v1.8.5

Release notes

• Refactors cncengine and monitor services (49c86e4)
• Prevents body scrolling when opening a modal window (0b4efde)
• Adds support for uploading G-code from a watch directory (946fd3d, resolves #75, #91)

Usage

 $ cnc --watch-directory /home/pi/watch

Instead of passing command line options for --watch-directory and --allow-remote-access, you can create a ~/.cncrc file that contains the following configuration in JSON format:

{
  "watchDirectory": "/path/to/dir",
  "allowRemoteAccess": false
}

Then you can browse the watch directory to select a G-code file to load:

v1.8.4

Resolves an installation issue with react-sortablejs@"<1.2.0" and sortablejs@1.5.0-rc1 (closes #98)

v1.8.3

• Implements an experimental character-counting streaming protocol for Grbl controller (73e6394, 5f6f6f7)
