Changes to allow stepper spindle to use per degree settings, ref. issue 926.
Changes for improved line number reporting for subroutines and branching gcode.
Improved alarm handling, if a critical alarm is active when a non-critical alarm is raised the non-critical alarm will be delayed until after reset for the critical alarm.
Improved Modbus exception handling and added high level API call for creating and sending Modbus messages.
Added G65P7 inbuilt macro for interacting with Modbus devices from gcode. See the Wiki for details.
Added experimental support for G66 (modal macro call) and G67 (end modal macro call).
Made axis letter to axis/motor assignment for axes ABCUVW freely changeable at compile time.
Fix for some G65 arguments being incorrectly validated for normal use (sign, range).
Added repeat support to G65 macro call via the optional L parameter word.
Changed default setting for ABC-axes to rotary.
Changed defaults for jerk settings to 10x acceleration settings.
Disabled jerk for jog, probe and spindle synchronized motion.
Added _active_probe system parameter, returns -1 if no probe inputs available.
Minor bug fix, G5.1 and G33.1 motion commands were not coverted to the correct string equivalent in $G output.
Added tool name, pocket number and some lathe specific data fields to the $# tool output when available from the tool table.
If name is available it will be output as a push message on M6 if there is no message in the same block.
Added support for directory up, .., to VFS.
Added new option to $650 - File systems options to enable hierarchical listing of files and directories via $F and $F+ commands.
Added ADC/DAC resolution to $pinstate command, changed reported values to integer for ADC/DAC devices and float formatted for PWM devices.
Numeric settings can now be set via G65P1Q<n>S<value>, <n> is the setting number, <value> is the new value.
Changed alarm code for Modbus exceptions (communication errors) from 14 to 19.
Refactored MPG stream code to allow plugins to hook into MPG streams (via event handler).
Added _free memory system parameter, returns value in KBytes or -1 if not available from driver.
Changed basic stream data type from char to uint8_t, added HAL function and core API for releasing/closing UART streams.
Moved probe signal handling from drivers to the core, improved handling of probe disconnected signal.
NOTE: The changes above are quite large, please verify probe operation after installation.
Added lightweight JSON serializer outputting directly to file.
Fix for event handler sometimes called too early. Ref. issue #818.
For developers: added optional device filing system that can redirect file read/write to serial streams.
For programmers: added grbl.on_control_signals_changed event, fired on some signals: optional stop, single step, block delete and cycle start.
Fix for incorrect handling of arcs when negative scaling is enabled with G51.
Added system parameter _tool_table_size, 0 if a tool table is not enabled.
Removed dependency on safety door input for parking settings: $41, $42, $56-$59, $392 and $393.
Removed strict dependency on spindle encoder input for spindle synced motion,
allows the use of the stepper spindle which has an implicit encoder.
Named system parameters _current_pocket and _selected_pocket updated to return the correct values.
Moved handling of keeping last tool number over reboot from template plugin to the core.
Added named system parameters _homed_state and _homed_axes.
Fix for failure to claim auxiliary ports in some configurations.
Moved inbuilt G65 macros to the core and added macro G65P5Q<n> for selecting probe.
Added probe id to real time report: |P:<n> will be reported on probe select when more than one probe is available.
Fix for WCO and Ov real time status report elements not beeing reported as they should in some circumstances.
Added named parameters _probe_state and _toolsetter_state. Both return -1 if state is not available.
These may return incorrect values initially so use with care.
Sub name matches filename with extension .macro.
Added core event for handling special gcode comments used by expressions and flow control: DEBUG, PRINT and ABORT.
Added overrideable default $-setting values for second PWM spindle to grbl/config.c.
Added support for LinuxCNC style (ABORT,<msg>) comment, requires expressions enabled. Terminates gcode program, outputs message and returns error 253.
Added PRM[<setting>] and PRM[<setting>,<bit>] functions to expressions, returns $-setting value or value of bit in integer type setting.
"hardened" flow control code, fixed bug in repeat...continue handling.
Changed signature of grbl.on_gcode_comment event, now returns status code.
Fixed incorrect handling of G65 call parameters, axis words had offsets added. Ref. issue #594.
Refactored handling of multiple spindles. There are still some limitations but should work better now. Disabled override delays for now, needs investigation. Ref. issue #598.
NOTE: Please report any erratic behaviour after installing this version since it is a rather major change.
Added named parameters for getting absolute (G53) position: _abs_x, abs_y, ...
Available when expression support is enabled.
Changed stepper enable HAL signature to allow current reduction when idle.
Added reference id to spindle registration in order to allow configuring default spindle, and possibly additional spindles, at compile time.
Added experimental support of LinuxCNC style subroutines.
Available for gcode run from local filesystem such as on a SD card or in littlefs.
Improved handling of G92 when G92 offset is changed while motion is ongoing. Ref. issue #241.
Fix for issue #521, crash when running G65 macro on ESP32.
"Hardened" stream switching code, likely fix for discussion #456.
Added $384 setting for controlling G92 offset persistence.
Improved $help command output and handling.
Moved the optional tool table in non-volatile storage.
Added gcode parameter support and optional expression support.
