Grbl v1.1 is available for public beta testing at this new [project site](https://github.com/gnea/grbl/). The new version has some huge features:\r\n\r\n- Real-time overrides for rapids, feeds, spindle-speed, spindle-stop, and toggle coolant states! All of these alter the running state within tens of milliseconds for instantaneous feedback. It feels totally different than how others do it, where you have to wait several seconds to a minute for a change to go through. It's awesome. You can have your CAM program generate a conservative feeds and speeds and then alter them on the fly at the machine to optimize your job. You can also feed hold and stop the spindle and coolant (vacuum) mid-job to inspect how your part is coming along or to clean out swarf!\r\n\r\n- Laser mode! Grbl now officially supports laser cutting and it works with spindle speed overrides (aka laser power) too! It's just a simple `$` setting to change and Grbl will then move continuously through consecutive G1/G2/G3 motions when an `S` spindle speed word is present. \r\n\r\n- Jogging mode! This new jogging command is different than feeding Grbl g-code commands, mainly because you can cancel it and Grbl will automatically feed hold and flush the buffers. It also doesn't alter the g-code modal state, so you no longer have to track them. This helps reduce inadvertent crashes when you forget and start you job.\r\n\r\nThere's a bunch more features, but those are the big ones. Keep in mind that this is a _**BETA**_ release. There most certainly are some bugs here and there. So, please use this if you'd like to help out with the testing. Please report issues at the [NEW SITE](https://github.com/gnea/grbl/issues), rather than here. \r\n\r\n#### IMPORTANT NOTE: Grbl v1.1 altered some of its interface to cram more data into the status reports and make it easier for developers to maintain their GUIs. Grbl v1.1 only works with GUIs that support it. So far, this includes (in order of most v1.1 support): \r\n- [Grbl-Panel](https://github.com/gerritv/Grbl-Panel): Just about full compatibility.\r\n- [UGS Platform Nightly Build](http://winder.github.io/ugs_website/download/): Click the bottom-most link. The overrides pane is enabled via a menu item. Only new minor features not yet implemented.\r\n- [bCNC](https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC): Operational, but no override controls yet.\r\n- [PicSender](http://www.picengrave.com/PicSender.htm): Status unknown, but they are working hard at it!\r\n\r\nThe Wiki is not yet up and operational, but there is a lot of documentation that I've written in the [/docs/markdown](https://github.com/gnea/grbl/tree/edge/doc/markdown)  folder. You can navigate to it through the Github website or click the link. Github will show it in markdown form.\r\n\r\nThanks everyone for being so patient! It's been a tough couple of years for me and my family, but we are finally seemingly in the clear. That and with this beta release finally out, it's a huge weight off my shoulders.

I did not want everyone to start using it until its closer to a stable release. I have a couple more tweaks to do. Thankful, it seems pretty stable, since I haven't heard anything from anyone. So, inviting more people to test may come sooner than later. "}}
