Software Version: 0.12.0 and 0.13.0 - Problematic

jazozaya 2017-03-09 23:34:38 UTC #1

Hi All,

We released Software Version 0.12.0 earlier today. Some critical bugs were discovered shortly after releasing and we have rolled back to v0.11.2

If your software upgraded automatically to v0.12.0 then you may downgrade by downloading v0.11.2 from the following links and re-installing the application.

Windows

OSX

Sorry about that - we'll post an update when it's resolved.

0.13.0 is now available. It's not called 0.12.1 because there is a gerber fix in there. We typically bump the minor version when we do something that impacts gerber processing since there's an increased chance it will affect you.

0.12.0 was yanked because of a consistent failure during the solder procedure. This did not show up in release testing due to a flaw in our build process. We've taken steps to mitigate this in the short term, including the some additional system level tests. In the longer term we will be automating additional steps of the build process to further reduce the risk of this type of error.

Again we are sorry for the disruption. Thank you all for reporting it promptly, this was a huge help!

We've started getting reports of serious performance problem in 0.13.0 we have pulled the release and are falling back to 0.11.2.

I have identified the source of the performance problem, but fixing it will take long enough to warrant yanking 0.13.0, rather than trying to quickly release a patch.

If you need a feature from 0.13.0 (e.g. the OrCAD fix) and can tolerate the performance let us know.

We'll be working to resolve this and release again as soon as we can. We'll also be making some more changes to our dev/test environments to prevent this in future.

Will be in touch

Released 0.14.0 about 1hr ago.

The 0.14.0 release focuses on addressing performance throughout the app. Key changes include splitting the app into multiple processes, one for the UI, one for communicating with the printer and one for computations (like path planning). We also fixed some performance bugs in the gcode console and toolpath preview which were resulting in excessive re-rendering of these elements.

Cheers,
Troy
