Software version 3.6.0-beta.3 now available

chrishamm

On behalf of the Duet3D team I am happy to announce the availability of our next prerelease software bundle v3.6.0-beta.3.
This version features many bug fixes and improvements. Please refer to the changelogs for further details:

Users in standalone mode can obtain the latest builds from here. Users in SBC mode can upgrade using M997 S2 provided the unstable package feed is activated. This can be done using M997 S2 F"unstable". Please note that M997 S2 is NOT available on the meanwhile outdated Debian Buster build of DuetPi. Please check out this guide if you are still using an old DuetPi installation.

If no further serious issues of this build are reported, this beta will form the basis of the next release candidate, which will eventually become the next stable version. If you do encounter problems, please report them here on the forum with [3.6.0-beta.3] in the title.

For those testing beta 3 there are now beta3+1 builds of the main board firmwares at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/bx70c7u0bshq79ez83mnn/AKMj4UCEimtQuGYxRj_d0ew?rlkey=7yiq3x5fcae3v2ogslfocx1op&dl=0. The most important bugs fixed in this version are:

Duet 2 Ethernet only: network connection was unreliable
Duet 3 6XD only: at high step rates the minimum interval between steps was not honoured, leading to steps merging
