Mach4 came out a while back with the first of the 5000 series builds but caused a lot of grief with different motion controllers. The 5000 series did certain things way WAY faster than previous builds
and may motion controllers went into a race condition on certain operations.
I use an Ethernet SmoothStepper and I believe the latest plugins from Warp9 for the ESS have solved those issues, but I, like many, are still using an earlier build, in my case 4612 and ESS 275.
If there is nothing that I need from the latest build.......then I don't bother. No matter how good there always seems some drama when updating....so unless I have to I don't bother.
