v4.99 rev8 Release notes.

Acorn and AcornSix users follow the Acorn installation instructions.

In general.
1.) Make screen shots of your current Wizard screens and create a fresh report.zip of the current running CNC12 software.
2.) Download ZIP file from the link above, extract zip file to desktop (don't run the installer from inside the zip file)
3.) Run the installer, use the Wizard to reconfigure the CNC controller for Acorn and AcornSix. For oak/allin1dc/mpu11/hickory configure using parameters menu.

Do not use the "restore report" feature.


Oak, Allin1DC,MPU11 users follow software installation instructions in the Oak or Allin1DC install manuals.

As always make sure the CNC PC meets the requirements to run this version of CNC12 software.
A CNCPC Windows requirement is to update Windows 10/11 to the latest .net framework (the new VCP requires this)

Advice.

- Do not install on a machine used for Production.
- Do not install on a customer of yours machine
- If you have a custom PLC program and are not familiar with PLC programming and compiling do not use this beta

That being said, have no fear! If desired, it is very easy to switch back to the previous version of CNC12 that you were running.
Before the beta install, make a copy of the c:\cncm or cnct directory, save it somewhere safe. After installing the beta if you want to switch back to the previous version of CNC12 that you were running. Simply rename the beta cncm/cnct directory and then copy back the previous cncm or cnct directory. Its that easy.
