LinuxCNC buildbot

Welcome to the LinuxCNC buildbot!

Three branches of LinuxCNC are available here as precompiled packages:

The master branch, containing the latest development version. This branch is not always stable! Use with care! And if it breaks, please let us know.
The 2.5 branch, containing the latest stable version. If you want a stable version of LinuxCNC with the latest proposed bug fixes, this is the branch for you. The packages here are usually not official releases. They contain newer (less tested) changes that we are planning to include in the next official stable release. We try to only make bug fixes to real problems found in the previous stable release.
The 2.4 branch, containing the previous stable version. This branch has been superceded by the 2.5 branch. 2.4 will be kept around for a while and may receive fixes to critical bugs, if any are found. All users are encouraged to upgrade to 2.5.

Upgrading to a new major version

If you're upgrading from one major version to another, for example from 2.4 to 2.5, you may need to do config changes! Read about it on the Wiki.
