: Enhanced compatibility for various GRBL, Ruida, and Galvo-based laser controllers.
Added better connection messaging and fixed frequency limit issues in the BSL SDK. Major Features of the 1.7 Series LightBurn.1.7.06.rar
This specific patch focused on stability for and general UI fixes: : Enhanced compatibility for various GRBL, Ruida, and
| Category | Enhancement | Practical Impact | |----------|-------------|-------------------| | | Improved handling of gradients, embedded fonts, and transform attributes. | Designs created in Inkscape or Illustrator retain visual fidelity, reducing manual clean‑up. | | Dynamic Power Preview | Real‑time color‑coded overlay showing power variations along a path (green = low, red = high). | Instantly see if a “power‑ramp” will produce the intended effect; reduces trial‑and‑error. | | Heat‑Map Simulation | Overlays cumulative energy per square‑mm on the workpiece preview. | Helps avoid scorching or under‑exposure on dense engraving areas. | | Batch Export Wizard | Guided interface to export many files to LBRN , DXF , SVG , or G‑code in one go. | Saves hours when preparing a catalog of parts for production. | | Pause/Resume Improvements | Multi‑pass jobs now resume exactly where they left off, preserving the pass counter. | No need to restart long jobs after a brief interruption. | | Air‑Assist Integration | Added a dedicated UI control that can toggle the air‑assist on/off during a job (via controller command). | Enables fine‑tuning of cutting quality for thin materials. | | Enhanced MacOS Compatibility | Resolved a lingering issue with permission prompts on macOS 14 (Sonoma). | Installation is smoother and the app runs without “requires admin” warnings. | | Bug Fixes & Stability | • Fixed a rare crash when loading large (>200 MB) raster images. • Resolved occasional UI freeze when editing text objects with long strings. • Minor performance boost for the UI on low‑end GPUs. | Overall smoother user experience, especially for high‑resolution jobs. | | Designs created in Inkscape or Illustrator retain
