Is there a list of all of the bugs that were found, and what changes were
made? I'd like to get them fixed in the original code if possible... I
searched a little in the Master5 group's archived messages and found a few
messages like this one (#6215):

Hi Ken:

G28 and G30 will work properly on the next version. They use the
parameters 5161 - 5166 for G28 and 5181 - 5186 for G30. They work now, but
there was a typo in the Nist code which disabled the rotary axis in the G28
move.

Thanks,

Hi All:

Verison 1.9 is online. It repairs the rotational radius adjustments. I have
tested it on very small diameters and large ones with no runaways and the
feedrate max should be observed properly.

Also, the I,K's no longer need to be reversed on XZ planes. It was a
typo in the NIST code which swapped them early in the call. (I can see after
debugging the lathe files, that I need to add a toolpath display plane
selection though, its hard to see what your cutting.).

The special driver is also updated for those that need it.

If you have trouble loading this version, just remove your old driver and
re-install.

Thanks,

If I knew what the typos were, I could fix them easily...
