ForgeCNC 0.2.0
31 October 2026
In this release
- Independent machine catalogue updates with review, apply, offline import/export and rollback.
- Toolpath and stock-carving playback, including carving at the preview datum on the illustrated machine.
- Named fixture datums, guided job preparation and searchable in-app help.
- Manual command console and a dockable machine-watch panel with distinct channel colours.
Validation scope
The exact Windows package passed 19 bounded native checks; the Linux packages passed 42 on Debian 13.4 x86_64 with software rendering. These checks do not establish sustained reliability or physical-machine readiness.
Still open
- Windows installer is unsigned
- Clean-machine installation and upgrade/rollback certification remain open
- Linux native checks used Debian 13.4 x86_64 with Xvfb/software rendering
- Other distributions and architectures remain unqualified
- No physical CNC transport used
- Sustained acceptance is incomplete; historical Windows run failed at 39/1700, recovery case 10
- Native Linux Settings machine dropdowns rendered pale labels on light backgrounds in the headless WebKit screenshots. GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark did not resolve this. Functional catalogue checks passed, but native dropdown contrast remains an open visual defect.
