Its been a while since 5.13 ws announced - nothing major has changed, mainly new machine additions and small fixes, which has been shipping with the current machines, but not been available to download

v5.14 - Old Post output fixed, can use denlcall then to convert the GNC file eg to go from Denford Fanuc program to Heidenhain
v5.14 - ** Adding laser scanning
v5.14 - Removed Color Picker Button from ControlPanel because it caused some memory corruption when loading VR machines
// found a problem at a customers and it seemed OK most of the time,but would then do invalid floating point operation and then lock up with access violations
v5.14 - Changed PCB wizard to allow CW or CCW cutting direction output (may help with tracks peeling off)
v5.14 - Fixed problem of importing a DXF from a USB key and it starting up the wizard if you try to run the fnc that was created (because it tried to copy from removable drive to hard disk)
v5.14 - Bad arc end point (again) - changed the halfchord check to allow 1 micron deviation between chord and radius programmed
v5.14 - Fixed problem where Pause button was disabled after running block search
v5.14 - changed work offset editor so it can be used in QuickCAM 2D without showing work-offsets
v5.14 - DENVRM.OCX moved into system32 - presumably for fixing network install errors - not sure when this was done (!)
v5.14 - Altered DENVRM.OCX so that the billet can be put outside the workarea by the width or height of the billet
v5.14 - Added a error message when pressing START, if the XY offsets were 0, or Z is 0 - can press help from the dialog to get to appropriate page (updated vrmilling5.chm (help file) as well)
v5.14 - Triac UPGRADE.ini change to toolchange position Z-25
v5.14 - Change tooling restore so it doesn't activate a toolchange event, ie doesn't read the current_active bit in the new tool/offsets file
v5.14 - Added functions to basic machine and control panel so that machlink can disable the control panel buttons when mid-toolchange cycle
// think this will come in handy for scanning as well.
v5.14 - Fixed M98 231234 so it will call program 1234 23 times - also did for v2 milling as thats where the problem was noticed
v5.14 - added VMC1300 - VR machine done. Mint and parameters subject to change in next version
v5.14 - changed mint file not found error on loading to look for *.52xx.mnt mint files OR *.mnt
v5.14 - fixed bug in quick info -"linear move exceeds limits" where Y and Z axes TO values where wrong (it was displaying X values fro both)
v5.14 - created a seperate install for easySCAN Mk 1
v5.14 - change all 52xx mint files, to set comms 48 (in the mint) to mmperstep multiplier value (can be 1 to 20) - multiplies stepspermm inside vrmilling to make best use of a microstepping drive
v5.15 - fix - added ati driver bug fixes (on destroy - SceneViewer.Free; // ATI driver bug fix (Context Activation Failed: C0070006)
v5.15 - added MintControls5523.ocx support (fixed move buffer full error on brand new PC's)
// - MilServer5500.exe (version 5523)
// - Firmware should be NextMoveST 5356
// - Mint file need to be re-compiled to .55xx.mex
v5.16 - Changed Novamill mint to set dprevent twice as the guard was sometimes displaying as open when it was closed when first turned on
v5.16 - Modified laser scan reading to take into account microstepping mode (MMPerStepMul)
v5.16 - Changed VMC1300 mint so that it uses the microstepping mode selector
(on this machine microstepping will be default and linking input 20 will mean none-microstepping)
(had to change params to be 80 mmperstep not 800, so that COMMS_MMPerStepMul will multiply by 10)
v5.16 - Changed Mints Compact 1000,2600 and VMC1300 to make output 14 be laser enable (with scan wizard open, door shut and not estop)
v5.16 - Change Micromill mint to add M10 M11 vice control for Alan White at Amatrol
v5.17 - Updates to make .chm files and ShowMe tutorials work on Vista v5.17 - Changed cb.cfg in the install source to ignore USB-1608FS device serial number (Misc Option[16]: 0)
v5.17 - Added advanced menu to Scanner form (first page) lets you change scan axis and mmpervolt (denny)
v5.17- Added toolchange seq. to Triton.52xx.mnt
v5.17 - Added EasySCAN user guide.chm to the tutorials\sources folder
